Vector Research Institute owned by Ruselectronics holding and an Egyptian electronics manufacturer will cooperate in licensed production of civilian anti-UAV systems – Zashchita. This mobile equipment is activated in just a few minutes and protects against drones in a radius of 2 km regardless of the time of day and weather conditions. The parties have signed the cooperation agreement on the sidelines of the Egypt Defence Expo (EDEX 2023) in Cairo. 

Zashchita system consists of several devices: passive radar system (PRS), radio monitoring (RM) equipment and Serp-VS suppression system. The feature of the radar systems is that they are invisible for other radio aids, because they work in a passive mode, i.e. they do not produce active RF emission. 

The signed agreement involves interaction between the parties in order to increase the output and promote anti-UAV systems made by Vector Research Institute in Africa. 

EDEX is held in Egypt biennially. The exhibition showcases achievements in air, ground and sea defence technologies. This is the first time Russian civilian UAV countermeasure systems made by Vector Research Institute have been demonstrated at the exhibition in Cairo.
