Recent tests have proven that the 'President-S' electronic warfare defense system has been successful in protecting Russian helicopters from enemy attacks.

The ‘President-S’ is designed for the individual protection of the aircraft from air defense missiles and artillery systems. As soon as threats are detected, either radar or laser-beam radiation, the complex activates a multispectral laser radiation.

If the missile is equipped with a radar seeker or if the threat comes from an anti-aircraft artillery system equipped with radar, ‘President-S’ activates radio interference, which disrupts the tracking radar or missile by intercepting its trajectory and leading it away from the aircraft or helicopter.

According to the test results we can say that Russia has a reliable technology to protect its aircraft and helicopters against any missile attack, said Yuri Maevskiy, director of the 'Radio Electronic Technology' holding.
