The development is designed for round-the-clock detection of small-sized targets such as UAVs
MOSCOW, April 7. /TASS/. The Chameleon anti-drone television system, which can detect drones flying in radio silence mode, was presented at the thematic exhibition "Innovation Day of the Russian Defense Ministry" in the Era technopolis. This was reported to journalists on Wednesday in the Russian Defense Ministry.
"The television complex for combating UAVs "Chameleon" is designed for round-the-clock detection of small-sized UAV-type targets, including those flying in radio silence mode, " the military department said.
The ministry said that the "Chameleon" can be installed both on armored vehicles and on stationary objects. "The complex provides automatic tracking of the target in several spectral ranges with simultaneous delivery of target designation to the means of influence. As a result of recognition, the complex determines the type, model of the target, performs preliminary selection of targets based on external characteristics," the military department reported.
