- Kvertus AD G6
KVERTUS AD G-6 is a Ukrainian portable anti-drone gun built by Kvertus to suppress UAV control, video, and satellite-navigation links. Official product data lists six interference bands, active cooling, a 30-degree directional antenna beamwidth, an IP-1 field indicator, and up to 1,200 m effective range, while conflict reporting identifies the KVS G-6 in Ukrainian front-line use.
Role in Conflicts
Operational Notes
Kvertus presents the G-6 as a hand-carried jammer built to suppress drone links rather than a vehicle-mounted electronic-warfare set.
| Feature | Published detail | Reader takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Suppression target | Remote-control, video-transmission, GPS, and Glonass bands | The gun is meant to disrupt the links that keep small UAVs controllable and navigable. |
| Antenna and cooling | 30-degree directional antennas with active cooling | The published configuration fits a pointed, short-duration jamming role rather than all-around area coverage. |
| Field indicator | IP-1 power-independent indicator | Operators can check whether the gun is emitting radio interference under field conditions. |
| Mobility and power | 24V, 15Ah rechargeable battery; up to 15 minutes of continuous operation; readiness in no more than 30 seconds | The published numbers fit a man-portable counter-drone tool used for brief engagements. |
