Uzbekistan Unveils Laser System Designed to Counter Drones
Technology
Uzbekistan has presented the ARGUS-SYS anti-UAV project, designed to detect and neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles. The system was showcased by young engineer and inventor Ikromjon Muydinjonov as part of the Engineers of the Future competition.
The system automatically detects and tracks aerial targets using the YOLOv8 artificial intelligence algorithm and optical transmitters.
According to the specifications presented by the developers, ARGUS-SYS uses a 500-watt laser with a wavelength of 405 nm. The stated engagement range exceeds 1,000 metres, while the reported time required to affect a target is less than two seconds.
The development is intended to improve capabilities for countering unmanned aerial vehicles. Uzbekistan had previously reported the development of a device designed to capture drones.
