PIRANHA SPR UAV counter system

Also known as
  • PIRANHA SPR

PIRANHA SPR is a Ukrainian stationary counter-UAV electronic-warfare system from Piranha Tech. Official materials describe a directional jammer that can work with external cueing, automatically orient antennas, and suppress UAV links across selected frequency bands.

Role in Conflicts

Operating Model

Piranha Tech describes SPR as a stationary directional jammer for countering unauthorized UAV flights and civilian drones. The cataloged setup emphasizes external antennas, selected frequency channels, and a control case with built-in computing.

FunctionDocumented detailPage context
SuppressionDirectional radio interference across up to 8 channels from 400-5900 MHz.Positions SPR as a fixed-site electronic-warfare system rather than a kinetic interceptor.
CueingCan work with systems that provide target direction or target coordinates.Supports integration with external detection or observation layers when available.
Antenna controlExternal directional antennas with automatic steering through specialized software.Lets the system concentrate jamming energy toward a detected direction instead of radiating evenly.
ProtectionVSWR monitoring and overheating protection.Documents safeguards for RF equipment and antenna/cable faults.
Power and climate24/28 V DC internal power or 220 V 50 Hz AC external power; -20 to +40 C and 5-95% humidity.Indicates a site-powered system with environmental limits stated by the manufacturer.
