Description
The Bukovel-AD is a counter-unmanned aircraft system (CUAS) produced by the Ukrainian firm Proximus. It is designed to detect unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at up to 100 km range and jam data transmission between the UAV and its controllers at 20 km. It can block GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou positioning systems. The system can be mounted on various vehicles, as well as on tripods and takes two minutes to deploy.
Operational history
