A newly developed ground robot, Contra-drone NEO, has been introduced in Ukraine, featuring an advanced electronic warfare system. It is designed to safeguard military positions and units from drone attacks during missions.

A spokesperson from the manufacturing company informed "Defender" that the robot is equipped with a 10-channel electronic warfare system capable of countering FPV drones and "Mavics".

The robot features two types of antennas: a dome-shaped antenna that operates in all directions, and a directional antenna that focuses its power in the direction specified by the operator.

The directional antenna is intended for countering Mavic and Autel drones and is positioned at the front of the robot. The operator can adjust the tilt angle to target enemy drones conducting reconnaissance missions.

The robot can carry a load of up to 300 kg over a distance of 30 km, achieving speeds of up to 15 km/h.

It is equipped with puncture-proof tires resistant to anti-personnel landmines. Contra-drone NEO can rotate 360 degrees, allowing precise targeting.

The robot is controlled through Starlink, but if the drone enters an area with poor reception, the operator can switch to radio control, maintaining a range of up to 5 km.

It is outfitted with surveillance and thermal imaging cameras, and during combat operations, an aerial reconnaissance drone assists the operator in adjusting the route and identifying threats.

The Contra-drone company noted that the robot was designed for various applications, including transporting supplies or evacuating injured personnel. The electronic warfare equipment can be removed and repurposed for other tasks.

Several units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces have already purchased Contra-drone NEO robots. Pricing varies based on configuration, starting around 1.2 million UAH.
