MOSCOW, Feb 12 - RIA Novosti. The Russian robotic complex "Marker" has been successfully tested as a near-hand air defense system, which will be able to effectively destroy small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including kamikaze drones, Yevgeny Dudorov, executive director of the Marker developer enterprise - NGO Android Technology, told RIA Novosti.

"We have conducted a number of tests related to countering UAVs, when drones are flying, the platform detects them automatically and hits them with the help of those means that are on the combat shooting module. This is a "near-hand" air defense system for hitting drones at short distances," Dudorov said.

Dudorov noted the trend of using kamikaze drones operating under the program, without communication with control points. According to him, it is difficult to counteract such devices by jamming control channels. Group attacks of such drones can be especially dangerous for protected objects, expensive equipment and infrastructure.

To combat swarms of drones, Marker was equipped with a radar capable of recognizing aerial targets with a small scattering area and transmitting their coordinates to a rifle-grenade launcher module. Then the robot monitors the target with optics and hits from a regular machine gun. "Marker recognizes targets with the help of a modern neural network device, which, after the necessary additional training, can do it faster and better than a person," Dudorov said.

He added that the "Marker" has good accuracy indicators for destroying flying objects. "We conducted tests on bench shooting - where stand-up artists shoot at skeet. It has a diameter of about 100 millimeters and flies at a speed of about 90 kilometers per hour. "Marker" is confidently working on these plates with a probability of hitting about 80% from a carbine," the executive director said.

Dudorov clarified that Android Technology has developed algorithms for effective destruction of air targets specifically for Marker. He also said that the robot's shooting range in the short-range air defense variant can rotate at speeds of 350 degrees per second.

"No one has such speeds of rotation of the cross-country shooting complex yet," the head of the company noted.
