Role in Conflicts

Side: Ukraine

Ukrainska Pravda described Cerberus as a vehicle-mounted mobile EW device used on the front line by Ukrainian forces.

Role details

Antenna Options

Kvertus frames Cerberus as a modular car-mounted system that can mix antenna types and cable lengths to match the bands a crew needs to cover.

Antenna	Pattern	Mounting
Quadrifilar	Dome-shaped pattern, circular polarization, up to 4 dBi	Magnetic vehicle base
Collinear	360-degree horizontal coverage, vertical polarization, up to 6 dBi	Magnetic base with spring-loaded connector
Patch	Directional, 60-90 degree pattern, up to 10 dBi	Magnetic base with tilt adjustment from 0 to 80 degrees

Generator And Power Architecture

Kvertus presents Cerberus as a vehicle-installation kit assembled from generator units rather than as a single fixed-band box.

Element	Published configuration	Why it matters
Generator units	One to three units, each with one to four generators	Allows a crew to scale the installation from a small set of protected bands to a 12-band vehicle system.
Jamming channels	Fixed bands inside 130-6000 MHz with 50, 80, 100, or 200 MHz bandwidth	The band package can be selected for the drone-control and video-link threats expected around the vehicle.
Power sources	220 V AC, 12 V or 24 V vehicle power, battery, or generator	The same kit can run from a vehicle electrical system or from field power at a fixed position.
Control	Cable remote with individual channel activation and a master activation control	Operators can switch bands independently instead of running every channel continuously.
