- Pelena-1
The Pelena-1 (in Russian means "Shroud") is a Russian ground-based
jamming system .Designed for jamming the
AN/APY-2 radar , the primary component of the airborne warning and control system (AWACS ), by automatically inducing a jamming frequency on radar carrier frequencies operating in the fast frequency hopping mode. Pelena-1 disrupts the radar capability of detecting targets with anERA of up to 10 - 15 m2. The effective jamming range is up to 250 km.Basic characteristics
