JAKARTA - The PPSh Laboratory is developing a new LPD-802 modification, of its electronic warfare weapon capable of crippling American unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and is currently testing a new system.

"Currently, the LPD-802 drone clock is undergoing all the necessary tests. The LPD-802 has a fully updated interior design and displays a smaller dimension, which is very important in its operation," the company told TASS as quoted November 1. "Compared to the LPD-801 model, the LPD-802 boasts of increasing power and extra jamming frequency bands to suppress American drones," the company continued.

The new drone's Jammer has a modified capability to suppress satellite navigation channels and a larger storage battery capacity, which has increased gun resistance, the company added.

Jammer drone LPD-801 was unveiled at the 2021 OrelExpo gun show in Moscow. Anti-drone rifles are capable of disrupting drone control channels and navigation signals, in particular, disabling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, signals of the Galileo and Glonass satellite systems, including stopping transmission of unauthorized data.

Meanwhile, new drone clocks can operate in manual and automatic mode.

This device is designed as a standard kalabin with a magazine, where the antenna looks like a barrel, while the magazine is a battery that can be replaced with a durability of about 60 minutes.

According to the developer, with a weight of only 3.5 kg (compared to standard Kalashnikov assault rifles), this anti-drone rifle is capable of targeting targets at a distance of 1.5 km. The maximum radiation of the polymer impacting the enemy drone electronics does not exceed 10 W.

It is known that the LPD-801 anti-drone weapon was used against Ukraine's small UAV in a special military operation held by Russia.
