MOSCOW, January 30. /TASS/. Russian specialists will conduct field tests of the Yastreb 1.0 intelligent electronic warfare system, Igor Potapov, spokesperson of the developer, NPP (R&D Company) Design Bureau, told TASS.

"The Yastreb 1.0 intelligent electronic warfare system, developed jointly with the Foundation for Advanced Research, will undergo tests in the coming month. The key to this system is that we are no longer tied to the architecture of jamming generators, which have limited frequency ranges, requiring a multitude of antennas. Furthermore, each jammer is heavy, requiring a large battery module. Our system operates based on an intelligent principle. In addition to electronic warfare, the system also performs electronic reconnaissance. We will see the final result in the spring of 2026; the product will be a breakthrough in its class," Potapov said.

He emphasized that the system makes it possible to significantly accelerate scanning of the 100 MHz to 6 GHz band, compared to other solutions. "Its capability to simultaneously conduct reconnaissance and suppress enemy UAVs makes it possible to deal with the threat quickly and automatically. It’s a versatile device effectively operating within its range, thanks to various operating modes—from the traditional, blocking mode to a smart mode that cuts out frequencies where interference is already occurring, as well as continues scanning the rest of the radio signal band to monitor frequency hopping of UAV transmitters," Potapov said.
