Repellent-1 (Russian: Репеллент-1) is a Russian electronic warfare system[1] designed to suppress the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles[2] at a distance of up to 30 to 35 km (19 to 22 mi).[3][4] It weighs more than 20 tons.

The system is capable of detecting miniature air targets from their control signals at a distance of more than 35 km (22 mi), but is able to suppress drones only at a distance of not more than 2.5 km (1.6 mi). The cabin is protected against small arms fire and NBC (nuclear, bacteriological and chemical) agents.[5]

History

[edit]

The Repellent-1 was developed by the Russian Scientific and Technical Center for Electronic Combat (Russian: Научно-техническом центре радиоэлектронной борьбы). It is installed on the chassis of MAZ (MAZ-6317 [uk]) or KAMAZ depending on the wishes of the customer.[3]

The system's development was completed in 2016 and it was later shown at an arms fair.[6][4]
