One fired grenade creates a curtain of 100 square meters at a distance of 70 to 100 meters from the protected object
KUBINKA /Moscow region/, August 24. /TASS/. The latest small-sized complex for protecting boats from high-precision weapons was created by Novosibirsk scientists at the Institute of Applied Physics. The development of JSC "IPF" was presented for the first time at the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2021".
"The small-sized complex of fired interference (MGK VP KT-60) is designed to protect boats from melee weapons and high - precision weapons with guidance systems operating in the infrared, visible and laser wavelength ranges," the TASS correspondent was told at the stand of JSC IPF, demonstrating the launch module with the latest grenades with jamming equipment.
"The complex can protect not only fleet boats, but also lightly armored vehicles from high-precision weapons," the representative of the institute explained.
One fired grenade creates a curtain of 100 square meters at a distance of 70 to 100 meters from the protected object. The installation of a protective curtain can be carried out both in single and multiple grenade firing modes.
The noise-generating equipment of the grenade provides the created cloud of interference with an increased time of hovering over the object.
According to the representative of the institute, the tests of the complex were successfully carried out by the Black Sea Fleet. Equipping surface ships with the development of Novosibirsk physicists can, in particular, provide them with protection from small-sized aircraft weapons with laser guidance systems launched from unmanned aerial vehicles.
