Earlier this week, the Ukrainian company Kvertus (part of NAUDI), known for its anti-drone solutions, officially presented its new large-scale project called Atlas, with support from the Brave1 cluster and international partners.
The goal of this project is to create an entire system to protect the military on the front line and in the area close to the front line from unmanned aerial vehicles. We are talking about a length of more than 1300 km. This system will integrate Kvertus technologies, which have already proven their effectiveness on the battlefield.

According to the company, Ukrainian sabre fencer Olha Kharlan became the project's ambassador. Representatives of military brigades also attended the official presentation of the Atlas system.
"If we want to survive, we have to be smarter. New approaches, new technologies, a new security ecosystem. Our experts have developed a system that enables the joint and simultaneous operation of electronic intelligence and EW systems, as well as synchronization with our own drones," says the company's presentation video about the Atlas system.
The advantages of Atlas include a longer range, ten times more effective jamming, invisibility to enemy electronic intelligence, extended operating time, the absence of Chinese and foreign technologies, and protection against hacking, even if the enemy manages to take over the system.
"This is not a single device, but an intelligent defense system that outpaces the enemy's current capabilities. The system is remotely controlled by a single operator through a secure server console and combines detection with the suppression of enemy equipment."
One system provides 25-50 km of enhanced security on the frontline. This is a combination of existing Kvertus systems: the Azimuth UAV detection and tracking station and the Mirage electronic warfare system. The Atlas project will create a number of such systems to protect soldiers along the current frontline. The project cost is estimated at UAH 5.2 billion (USD 123 million).
"It is important that all this can be managed remotely. It doesn't matter if it's one device, five, 500, or 2500 devices – all can be connected to a single network using our server, allowing management of both the entire combat line and individual sections. This also enables access for commanders at various levels and provides a situational awareness map," Yaroslav Filimonov, the CEO of the company, said in a comment to Channel 24.
Earlier Defense Express reported that new Hromylo UAVs would reinforce precision strikes against russian forces.
