According to journalists, weapons of directional energy can potentially make a revolution in the war. Such systems operate with electricity, not traditional ammunition and allow you to accurately target the object, minimizing the risk of concomitant damage. The Ealing project uses radio frequencies to disrupt electronics. In this way, it potentially grants a solution to counteract the threats that come from drones.
The key component of the project is a radio frequency cannon designed to detect and track goals on Earth, Water and in the air. By 2027, laser weapons deploy plans. The military journalist Gabriele Molinelli wrote on his page X on the social network X that the mentioned weapon was noticed in the British Armed Forces on Thorney Island in the 7th Air Defense Group.
He pointed out that, unlike early samples, the system was installed on a smaller HX60 truck, which demonstrated its adaptability and mobility. According to Gabriele Molinelli, the development is aimed at the simultaneous destruction of several drones with the help of powerful radio frequency. It is based on the same idea as Epirus Leonidas, created for the US Army.
He also noted that the Ealing system is equipped with its own detection sensors Project Ealing in the Laboratory of Defense Science and Technology in Porton Down (DSTL) Matt Kork noted that the weapons of Ealing was created on the basis of commercially accessible technology. The installation allows the operator to switch between a number of frequencies depending on the goals.
In his opinion, radio frequency energy weapons are more efficient than laser, because the laser has to accurately hit the target and hold the beam, and radio waves are not afraid of any obstacles and penetrate directly into the electronics block, affect electronic circuits and disable them. We will remind, the Ukrainian company "Antidron Ukraine" has created a stationary complex of radio electronic struggle (HRV) of the sectoral type C -Vog "border" to counteract the drone drone.
