The anti-drone system is based on the fully autonomous LPP HORNET unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). It is capable of monitoring a defined area, searching for threats, and eliminating drones using a weapon station and LPP INTERCEPTOR drones. It enhances situational awareness, reduces risk to personnel, and increases operational efficiency in a wide range of terrains and threats. The system functions as an integrated, modular superstructure that incorporates several key components.
The RS4 turret enables operators to remotely utilise several optoelectronic sensors, such as thermal imaging, for reconnaissance and target detection. It also features a remotely operated weapon system with human-in-the-loop control. The UGV is further equipped with an R30 radar for detecting aerial targets, specifically optimised for anti-drone operations. The system also features LPP INTERCEPTOR drones — quadcopters specifically designed to eliminate enemy drones. Each INTERCEPTOR includes onboard sensors for precise navigation and a custom fragmentation warhead to maximise hit probability.
The UGV is equipped with the LPP Autonomous Navigation System, enabling it to operate independently or in coordination with crewed units. This provides enhanced operational capabilities to deployed forces.
