Brief retelling from RIA II

Darwin anti-drone networks are adapted for the protection of various objects based on experience of use in the NWO zone.

The Darwin-D network is designed specifically for highways and other extended transport infrastructure facilities.

The Darwin ZM protective and camouflage network combines the functions of physical detection of drones and optical camouflage of an object.

ALABINO (MOSCOW REGION), September 10 - RIA Novosti. Anti-drone networks "Darwin" began to be created for different tasks: to protect roads, buildings, ports and other objects based on the experience of use in the NWO zone, Dmitry Dorofeev, general director of the manufacturer of Mechanical Protection Systems, told RIA Novosti at the international technology congress in Patriot Park.

“The experience of real combat use in the Northern Military District zone has become an invaluable testing ground for us for improving products. We do not stand still and are constantly developing a line to ensure the safety of facilities,” Dorofeev said.

In particular, he said that the Darwin-D network was developed specifically for highways, highways and other extended transport infrastructure facilities with a width of 12 to 38 meters.

“It allows you to quickly cover large areas and minimize the load on supports, as well as quickly repair a damaged area without replacing the entire canvas,” he said.

In addition, the Darwin network is adapted to combat unmanned boats (BEC).

“A network made of ultra-strong synthetic material prevents sea drones from moving without the risk of an immediate explosion,” Dorofeev explained.

He also noted that the Darwin ZM protective and camouflage network is the world’s first development of its kind, which combines the functions of physical detection of drones and optical camouflage of an object.

“The network not only stops the UAV, but also helps to hide the protected object from visual detection. It is a 12-meter wide polypropylene sheet, which is also already used in the northwestern military zone,” the manufacturer said.

In the Darwin-Z network, the main innovation is that the cell is made in the shape of the Latin letter Z. When a drone is detonated, neighboring cells are displaced, partially covering the gap and reducing the size of the damage by up to 50%. This ensures the self-healing of the barrier.
