The jamming transmitter developed by KRET is a single-use device designed to be used by a plane or a helicopter. After the device is deployed via a standard countermeasure launching system, it begins emitting an aimed jamming signal. It is essentially a full-fledged electronic warfare complex compressed into a standard decoy cartridge," the company's press service told RIA Novosti.
Depending on the situation, the deployed countermeasure either imitates an aircraft, thus drawing away the incoming rocket, or emits a jamming signal powerful enough to prevent it from acquiring its target.
Last
week President Vladimir Putin said that Russia might utilize
electronic warfare systems to ensure the safety of its aircraft in Syria
following the downing of a Su-24 bomber by Turkish forces.
KRET
is the largest radio-electronic holding in Russia; it was created
in 2009 and has more than 50,000 employees. It manufactures a wide
range of products, including avionics, operational and tactical
systems, electronic warfare and intelligence equipment, friend-or-foe
identification systems, special measuring instrumentation, plugs,
electric connectors, and cable products.
