Ukraine fields LTEJ MIRAGE as the jamming element of the Atlas anti-drone set. KSE describes Atlas as a front-line project for Ukrainian brigades, and Janes reported in February 2025 that Atlas was already used by several Ukrainian brigades in the combat zone.

KVERTUS LTEJ MIRAGE is a Ukrainian smart electronic-warfare jammer built around modular counter-UAV bands. Kvertus describes it as the jamming half of Atlas with MS Azimuth, and KSE and Janes tie Atlas deployments to Ukrainian front-line units in the Russia-Ukraine War.
Role in Conflicts
What Makes It Distinct
Kvertus positions LTEJ MIRAGE as the smart EW half of Atlas. The system is built to work from MS Azimuth target data rather than as a simple blanket jammer.
| Feature | Documented detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Atlas role | Works with KVERTUS MS Azimuth detection | Lets the operator program interference from detected target parameters. |
| Frequency coverage | 300-6000 MHz across 14 band combinations | Gives operators several selectable bands instead of a single fixed setting. |
| Antenna modes | Directional and omnidirectional antennas can operate simultaneously | Supports coverage around protected assets from different directions. |
| Range context | Kvertus cites long-range Atlas operation, while ATLAS-1300 separates MS Azimuth detection range from LTEJ MIRAGE suppression range | Prevents the detection and jamming ranges from being read as the same measurement. |

Atlas Detection Component
Atlas links passive UAV-signal detection with targeted electronic attack.
