The Darvin-Z counter-drone net is capable of partially compensating for damage caused by the detonation of intercepted UAVs.

Dmitriy Dorofeev, head of the developing company, told RIA Novosti that the design was created with battlefield conditions in mind. He explained that Z-shaped cells allow the size of breaches to be reduced by roughly half under external impact, including the explosion of a drone’s warhead after entanglement. In such cases, the structure does not break apart but deforms, as adjacent cells shift and partially close the gap.

The net is made of polypropylene and weighs about 40 grams per square meter. It is supplied as a single sheet, which simplifies installation and significantly reduces setup time compared to traditional fishing nets that require stitching отдельных segments.

Reinforced mounting cells are placed along the edges, forming load-bearing cables when tensioned.

The company Sistemas Mekhanicheskoy Zashchity stated that the net is designed as an integrated engineering system, where each element contributes to overall efficiency and reliability.
