The new radar will have high immunity from interference, will be able to detect enemy aircraft at a greater range and will have high power.

According to Mikheev, KRET creates the so-called ROFAR (radio-optical photon antenna array) at the request of the Advanced Research Foundation under the Government of the Russian Federation.

"The radio-optical antenna array will make it possible to realize new radar capabilities. This is ultra wideband, serious resistance to various types of interference and high enough power, ”said Mikheev.

He also noted that he would finally be able to say what capabilities this locator will have in a year and a half, when the system can start comprehensive testing.
However, the representative of KRET said that now we can say that the system is primarily a locator, which will see further, be able to distinguish between disguised and moving objects, direct weapons on them in real time with high accuracy.

“We are on the threshold of a new technological leap that will allow us to make radiophotonics,” said Mikheev.

Earlier, Mikheev reported that the radar will be installed, including on the sixth generation aircraft, whose project is being created in Russia . He also added that the product had already passed the stage of technical design, part of its parameters was confirmed on the model of the antenna array.

Russian drone "Ropewalker" for repair of power lines presented at the inter-African exhibition in Cairo

CAIRO, December 12th. / Corr. TASS Dinah Pyanykh, Dmitry Tarasov. The Russian drone Kanathod, designed for automated diagnostics and local repair of high-voltage power lines, is presented in Cairo at the First Inter-African Trade Fair 201 The Intra-African Trade Fair 2018. The Future Laboratory Company Skolkovo "turned out to be one of the few non-African participants in the exhibition devoted to the establishment of trade relations both between the states of the Black Continent and with the outside world.

“The region of the Middle East and Africa seems to us very interesting for our project, especially since we already have certain achievements with the countries of the region,” said Alexander Lemekh, director of Future Laboratory LLC, in an interview with TASS. “We have already completed one pilot project in the power grid Dubai companies are still actively preparing to test a pilot project in Saudi Arabia. There is another project in Vietnam, and now our task is to increase our presence in this region. " According to Lemech, the company has entered into contracts with a local partner in Nigeria for about $ 2 million.

The principle of the "ropeway" company "Laboratory of the Future" is that the drone takes off and sits on the wires, recharging directly from high-voltage lines. "Passing through this wire, it carries out a complete diagnosis of the condition of the lines, including the wires themselves, insulators, supports, nodes on the highway, as well as maintenance and local repair," Lemekh explained. there is a necessary brigade accompanying him, but now we are heading towards creating a fully automatic system that could independently cover up to 200 km. " According to Lemekh, such a robot would be extremely useful in the taiga, wetlands, in the desert. "When switching to full automatic control, the dispatcher’s task will be reduced to

African market for Russian drone
According to the agency interlocutor, in Cairo they have scheduled talks with representatives of Nigeria and Ghana. “Our plans are to expand to North Africa, first of all Egypt, Algeria,” he said. “We hope that the contact with the Egyptian side will be made as part of this exhibition, we have already sent a letter to the Ministry of Energy of Egypt.” According to Lemekh, their startup was launched in 2011, this project has been implemented since 2014.

"At present, we are focused on the performance of diagnostics or repair work, that is, we do not just supply drones, but also our services, personnel. Perhaps in the future we will supply the systems themselves." “Now at our disposal are four drones that we have produced, which we send to countries on request, we carry out repairs, and then we take them back,” he explained. power lines, and this is about 600 km, and train personnel so that in the future they can independently work with the finished model.

As the head of the company noted, the global wear of power grids is about 50%, in Russia the situation is slightly worse - about 65%, many networks have exhausted their resources, and in order to repair them more efficiently, it is necessary to proceed to repairs as they are. "And that means," he said, "it is important to find the place where you need to change them, and put a patch there. Therefore, such systems seem to be in great demand both in Russia and around the world."

Russian business mission at the exhibition
The first inter-African trade fair, the 2018 The Intra-African Trade Fair, will run until December 17. More than a thousand companies from 40 countries of not only the African continent, but also other countries of the world, including Russia, China, Indonesia, take part in it. In the pavilions of the center are samples of agricultural products, building materials, pharmaceuticals, textiles, as well as products of heavy industry and energy.

As part of the international exhibition, the Russian Expert Center (REC) organizes its business mission, which is being held in order to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the trade and economic sphere and promote products of Russian export-oriented suppliers to Egypt and African countries. The panel discussion on December 12 will feature a presentation of the Russian Industrial Zone (RPG) project - an integrated production cluster in the economic zone of the Suez Canal, which will provide new opportunities for Russian exporters and suppliers willing to localize their assembly and production facilities in close proximity to the markets of the Middle East Of Africa.
