Divnomorye

The electronic warfare systems in service can fight hypersonic aircraft. One of the most effective is Divnomorye. It is capable of blocking objects from radar detection in an area of several hundred kilometers with an "umbrella" of interference. "Divnomorye" suppresses radar and other onboard electronic devices of aircraft, helicopters and drones. Such properties will be useful in the fight against radar-guided missiles - the complex will be able to interfere with them. If necessary, it effectively affects spy satellites, which will also deprive missiles of target designation.

Article from the end of August 2021 in Voyenno Promyshlennyy Kuryer describes in detail the breakthrough in the further development of next-generation EW systems, also covering specific examples of EW assets that have been in operation over the last four years, but highlights Divnomorye-U and its unique features. Divnomorye-U reportedly offered to protect EW from radar reconnaissance over an area of several hundred kilometers by generating an “umbrella” of EW interference; it is specially designed to provide cover against enemy radar. Divnomorye-U therefore offers effective radar protection for stationary and temporary command posts, air defense systems, force groups, and key politico-military and industrial centers (Voyenno Promyshlennyy Kuryer, August 24, 2021).

An important feature of the new Divnomorye-U is its integration into an automated C2, which significantly increases its speed and operational usefulness. By incorporating this automated element into the system design, the EW complex detects and then analyzes the target signal and type, along with its power and direction of transmission. The high-tech automated system undoubtedly uses artificial intelligence (AI) in its processes, then develops a suppression plan and selects the most effective attenuation methods. Divnomorye-U is designed to emit powerful radiation that neutralizes enemy radar, regardless of type. It is reported to be able to jam both ground-based radars and aircraft radars such as the E-8 JSTAR, E-3 AWACS, E-2 Hawkeye, as well as radar equipment on board helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Even satellite radar stations would lose sight in the Divnomorye-U coverage area, Voyenno Promyshlennyy Kuryer claims for article. The new complex can go into combat mode within a few minutes and can be mounted on a single vehicle (Voyenno Promyshlennyy Kuryer, August 24, 2021).

According to Russian EW experts, Divnomorye-U is able to replace three modern systems in operation: Krasukha-4, Krasukha-2 and Moskva-1. The breakthrough in technology refers to the use of automated C2 and AI to achieve a more advanced generation of EW complexes capable of suppressing enemy targets with minimal human involvement (Discover24.ru, January 25; Politexpert.ru, June 4, 2020).
