Thursday, January 6, 2022
“Infozakhist” began flying tests of the Gekata air reconnaissance system, which is designed to detect radio-emitting targets at hundreds of kilometers, reported uprom.info. Three UAVs alternate aerial reconnaissance to provide round-the-clock monitoring along the 100-km front and at a depth of up to 450 km from the launch site. The new drone allows 24/7 information collection about all enemy objects that emit radio waves and accurately determines their coordinates. Also, it can collect information completely undetected, patrolling the sky. In total, Gekata’s capabilities allow the ability to track up to 200 targets simultaneously and transmit information about them online.
