The Russian company Gumich RTK unveiled the "Impulse" robotic counter-drone system. The Kulibin Club presented the new system. The system consists of two tracked robots: the "Impulse-RLS" and the "Impulse-Zveroboy." The "Impulse-RLS" robot searches for targets, while the "Impulse-Zveroboy" robot launches interceptor drones. The system's radar detects fixed-wing UAVs at ranges of 4 to 18 km and small drones at ranges of 4 to 7 km. The radar also detects small aircraft, with a detection range of up to 30 km. The interceptor type has not been disclosed; the "Yolka" interceptor drone was previously used. The "Impulse-M" robots are a universal tracked platform.
