Rostec has announced that its Sozvezdie concern has developed a new drone navigation suppression system called Vika. According to the state corporation’s press service, six units of the system are enough to provide full 360-degree protection against UAVs.

The company says Vika disrupts GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou communication channels, helping shield facilities and territories from drone attacks. The system can operate in two formats: manually, when it receives external target designation, or automatically, using its built-in UAV radio-channel detector.

This design allows interference to be activated only when a threat is detected, a feature Rostec considers especially important for protecting urban infrastructure.

When a target is identified, the system assesses signal strength from different directions, locates the drone and applies targeted electronic impact. Rostec says this makes it possible to restrict UAV navigation without harmful effects on nearby infrastructure.

The corporation also notes that Vika’s cluster architecture, sector-based operation and automation make it suitable for protecting industrial and military facilities.
