EW Systems

Modern EW equipment: reliable protection and countermeasures against enemy UAVs

EW (electronic warfare) is a set of measures that use the electromagnetic spectrum to disrupt enemy communications and navigation, and to protect friendly systems from similar effects.

When units need to buy EW equipment, the key question is simple: what exactly needs to be protected? An EW system for a vehicle, a field position, or a mobile unit will not be the same, requiring distinct approaches and appropriate EW equipment for each case.

On the Kvertus website, you can find electronic warfare devices for different operating conditions. Some models are designed for use while on the move, others for permanent deployment at specific facilities or positions.

What EW equipment can be purchased on our website?

Most buyers start with a basic question: which system to choose? The answer depends on where it will be used.

EW systems for fixed positions are used to protect dugouts, command posts, depots, critical infrastructure, and other facilities.These EW systems provide continuous coverage of a defined area against enemy UAVs. The electronic warfare systems are selected based on terrain features, threat types, and the required jamming bands.

Individual EW equipment is focused on mobile units and service members who need to move quickly and operate without being tied to a fixed point. In this category, portable EW has the highest demand.

Vehicle-mounted EW is installed on pickups, evacuation vehicles, and other platforms. For many units, mobile EW is a basic protection element during movement.

Often, different types of EW equipment work together. For example, mobile EW systems are used while on the move, and after arrival at the destination, stationary anti-UAV equipment is activated.

Anti-UAV equipment by threat type

There is no single solution for all types of drones. That is why the catalogue includes different EW systems.

For countering strike UAVs, units can use anti-FPV EW. If the main threat comes from reconnaissance quadcopters, it is worth considering solutions designed against Mavic-type drones. There are also universal EW suites that combine several lines of protection

Separately, the catalogue includes anti-UAV equipment for fixed‑wing drones. These systems are tailored to targets that operate at long ranges and may use different communication methods.

Ukrainian EW equipment: advantages of Kvertus systems

Today, Kvertus develops not only electronic warfare systems, but also electronic reconnaissance systems. That is why many Kvertus solutions are built around a core idea: first detect and analyze the target, and only then interfere with its operation.

The catalogue includes omnidirectional EW (360° EW), mobile EW, portable EW, and smart‑EW for more complex scenarios. Some EW equipment uses a modular architecture, making it easier to adapt to specific operational needs.

One of the company’s most notable developments is the Atlas system, which consists of:

1. KVERTUS MS AZIMUTH electronic reconnaissance system;
2. KVERTUS LTEJ MIRAGE electronic warfare system;
3. Control software for managing the systems.

AZIMUTH is a passive detection system that detects fixed‑wing UAVs at ranges up to 150 km and multirotor UAVs at up to 30 km.

AZIMUTH scans the radio spectrum in a wide 30–6000 MHz band, detecting not only drones and UAVs, but also their repeaters, control stations, radars, and EW systems. The system remains invisible to enemy electronic reconnaissance because it does not emit signals. Two AZIMUTH systems can triangulate the target’s signal and accurately determine its coordinates.

The Mirage system can suppress UAVs at ranges up to 30 km, depending on antenna type and operating conditions. Mirage has a “construction‑set” architecture: the customer can choose among 14 combinations of jamming bands. The full list of bands covers the 300–6000 MHz spectrum.

The key advantage of the Atlas system is its software. Both systems are controlled remotely through the AZIMUTH interface.

How to choose the right anti-drone system?

Selection should start not with a table of specifications, but with a clear understanding of the mission. For some users, mobility will be the main requirement; for others, it will be operating range or support for multiple bands simultaneously.

The EW equipment price depends on technical characteristics, power output, number of frequency bands, and configuration. Because of this, the cost of EW systems can differ even between similar models.

If you need to buy EW for military use, Kvertus specialists will help select a configuration tailored to specific operating conditions. The catalog also allows you to buy an anti-drone gun, vehicle‑mounted EW systems, and other anti-UAV equipment to protect vehicles, positions, and personnel.
