Ukraine’s Defender Media reports Ukrainian defence company Piranha Tech has launched a new range of electronic warfare systems and software solutions to protect large areas from small strike and reconnaissance drones. The idea is to create an ecosystem capable of protecting an entire city, or at least build first and second rings of EW defence around a city,” Anatolii Khrapchynskyi, Deputy Director of Piranha Tech, said during the presentation, quoted in the article.
“Piranha Tech is developing networked scenarios where EW interacts with radars, early-warning systems, and command posts. This approach enables wider area coverage, better sector coordination, and faster response to emerging threats, the company says…The key novelty of the presentation was the Sky Defender system, which integrates radars, detection modules, dome-based solutions, and remote jamming units…all components are synchronised via a command post and remotely controlled from the operator’s console.”
“According to Ruzhynskyi, the software is fairly straightforward. The main radar defines directions and distributes zones of responsibility between devices. When an enemy UAV enters a zone, the system automatically calculates the effective ranges and response algorithms for each element—detection, jamming, or interception. The software is scalable, assigning operator roles (for instance, an interceptor operator controls only their module, while an EW operator works on their panel), yet all roles are integrated into a unified control system.”
