The new era presents new security challenges and requires different solutions—technical, organizational, legal, and administrative.
This is vividly seen in the security system established today around most Russian educational institutions, including preschool education, children's recreation areas, and medical facilities.
Referring to the experience of other countries and the established legal practice of the Russian Federation to restrict UAV flights over specific objects or entire areas, restrictive measures are legislatively established and applied. Primarily, this includes the establishment of no-fly zones for UAVs, their mandatory registration, equipping with radio beacons, and restrictions on flight altitude and range.
However, all these measures can only affect law-abiding citizens and, at best, prevent accidental incidents with UAVs in the vicinity of educational or healthcare institutions. They will not stop deliberate criminal acts.
Therefore, while ensuring protection against intruders with knives or rifles entering school or daycare premises by installing metal detectors, fences, and panic buttons, it must be remembered that these are not obstacles for UAVs!
Reliable, safe for the environment (especially for children) technical means of protection against UAVs are needed.
The logic of any armed confrontation is that initially, the means of attack emerge and change the course of such a struggle, gaining maximum advantage—a weapon of attack. Only after some time, but inevitably, a defense mechanism emerges to counter such attacks.
Miniature UAVs, unlike their large and heavy counterparts capable of flying hundreds of kilometers and carrying hundreds of kilograms of bombs and rockets, have proven to be too small, too agile, and too unpredictable for existing means of detecting and intercepting large aircraft and missiles.
UAVs are already being improved in all respects. Therefore, purchasing and installing something capable of combating drones today risks leaving you defenseless against them tomorrow.
TKZ "Barrier RI Kupol" - a proven UAV protection system.
The tactical kit for protecting objects from UAVs "Barrier RI Kupol," fully developed and manufactured by the Russian scientific and production company "Rubegh-Engineering."
The developers and engineers of the enterprise have managed to find a number of original solutions based on a deep study of UAV control signal structures, their design features, and applications, which allowed them to:
- achieve reliable suppression of UAV control and navigation channels in the vicinity of protected objects;
- ensure complete safety for people's health when using the "Barrier RI Kupol" complex, even those in close proximity;
- solve the problem of stable operation of communication means within the complex's range;
- achieve round-the-clock, all-season operation of the complex in any climatic conditions with extremely low equipment power consumption;
- adapt the complex and the radio-electronic jamming fields it creates to any area and configuration of the protected objects through a multi-position application principle;
- eliminate the need for additional adjustment and maintenance of the complex, the introduction of additional organization specialists;
- use existing structures on buildings and structures of the object, lighting masts, fences, and roofs;
- simultaneously block the possibility of further flight and the fulfillment of their tasks by ANY number of UAVs simultaneously approaching the protected object;
- integrate the complex into any existing security systems or create a new security system based on its open architecture and modular construction principles;
- create a wide interconnected network of object protection from UAVs based on the complex, allowing it to cover entire districts and cities.
- equipment installation is carried out outside the perimeter of the protected object or on the roof, which extends our solution beyond the scope of SanPiN regulations.
Conclusion.
Thus, there is a proven technical solution today for reliable protection against mini-drones, allowing us to secure our children in schools, institutes, kindergartens, and recreation camps without harming their health and without requiring any serious restructuring of already established security systems in these organizations, but rather enhancing their capabilities in the airspace.
Importantly, such a complex is capable of combating not only drones but also other dangerous means, for example, by blocking radio control channels of radio-controlled explosive devices.
The standard set of the complex effectively protects an area of up to 5 hectares, reliably blocking drones at a distance of at least 500-700 meters.
