The SERP-VS6D, designed by the Vector Research Institute under Ruselectronics, operates across the widest range of frequencies among the SERP line of systems. It utilizes six distinct communication channels to effectively neutralize drones. The system's high-precision detector, coupled with instantaneous digital signal processing algorithms, ensures accurate detection and identification of UAVs in protected zones, significantly reducing missed targets and false alarms.

The system continuously monitors the communication and control channels of drones in a 360° horizontal plane. Upon detection, it can automatically or manually activate to suppress radio signals from targets up to 5 km away. The suppression function engages across all available frequency ranges only when necessary, in compliance with the State Commission on Radio Frequencies' regulations against constant jammer use.

The SERP series is already used by various Russian enterprises, including those in the military-industrial complex. These systems can be deployed on both stationary and mobile platforms, with the capability to integrate multiple units for comprehensive protection over extensive areas. The equipment is compact and portable, capable of being operational in less than 30 minutes, and can also be mounted on wheeled vehicles, including armored ones, for increased mobility and protection.

Rostec recently showcased the SERP-VS6D at the International World Defense Show 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This demonstration attracted the attention of foreign clients seeking effective and reliable solutions to counter emerging drone threats. The system was also highlighted at the exhibition by Rosoboronexport, the state intermediary agency for Russia's exports and imports of defense-related and dual-use products, technologies, and services.

According to Sergey Skorykh, General Director of the Vector Research Institute, "Our specialists are striving to quickly find and implement optimal solutions. The proven effectiveness of the SERP-VS6D in real conditions is proof of this." The system has already been successfully used in facilities within the Russian energy and military-industrial complexes.

The development of these technologies comes amidst the rapid evolution of UAVs and the growing need to protect critical infrastructure from drone attacks. The SERP-VS6D's ability to operate in passive mode, detecting drone control signals without emitting active signals, makes it invisible to other radio devices and enhances its operational efficiency.

In conclusion, Rostec's SERP-VS6D represents a significant advancement in electronic countermeasure systems against drones, offering robust and flexible protection against a variety of modern UAV threats.
