An electromagnetic gun, capable of destroying electronic instruments is to be installed on a proposed new (so-called sixth generation) remotely piloted fighter jet, an executive of Russian defence electronics manufacturer, KRET has said.<\/p>\nLa corporaci\u00f3n Rusa KRET, se encuentra desarrollando un arma electromagn\u00e9tica de Ultra Alta Frecuencia (UHF), para equipar a su futuro avi\u00f3n de combate aut\u00f3nomo de “6ta Generaci\u00f3n”. Estos sistemas de armas de Energ\u00eda Directa (DEW), emplean\u00a0ondas de Ultra Alta Frecuencia (UHF) que\u00a0tienen por objetivo la destrucci\u00f3n de los sistemas electr\u00f3nicos del oponente, mediante la acci\u00f3n de enormes cantidades de energ\u00eda proveniente de medios electromagn\u00e9ticos. A su vez, otros pa\u00edses trabajan en proyectos de sistemas similares, por lo que KRET se encuentra\u00a0 desarrollando medidas de protecci\u00f3n activa, mediante equipos que dispongan de filtros capaces de bloquear esa energ\u00eda recibida.<\/p>\n

“Ultra-high frequency (UHF) weapons are a reality. Their laboratory tests continue non-stop. For instance, we may ‘burn’ down some electronic devices to see how much electromagnetic energy this will require,” the executive has been quoted as saying to\u00a0Tass<\/a>\u00a0Thursday.<\/p>\n The executive said other countries were testing such weapons, too, so KRET was also working on a system of protection from the enemy\u2019s UHF weapons.<\/p>\n “Receiving devices may be equipped with filters blocking the incoming energy. The sensor will then receive only informative and other useful signals. These protection systems are to be computer-adjustable, which would prevent the enemy from identifying potential holes in the filters. We are conducting this type or research, too,” he said.<\/p>\n The electromagnetic weapons are to be installed on a remote-controlled configuration ofproposed sixth generation fighter jet which could be a pilotless aircraft.<\/p>\n Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said last spring that work on such a drone was already in progress. KRET is developing on-board equipment for the sixth-generation jet and UHF weapons at its own initiative.<\/p>\n
