RIFF is an InterProInvest counter-UAV jamming family built around portable, mobile, and stationary configurations. The Ukrainian system is designed to disrupt drone control, video, and satellite-navigation links against rotary-wing and fixed-wing UAVs, with RIFF-P packaged as a shoulder-fired jammer derived from the Malyuk/Vulcan small-arms chassis and documented in Ukrainian army service context during the Russia-Ukraine War.

Configuration And Chassis Context
RIFF combines Ukrainian army service context with InterProInvest's small-arms and counter-UAV design work. RIFF-P is the portable member and uses a gun-form layout derived from the Malyuk / Vulcan bullpup chassis, while RIFF-M and RIFF-S move the same counter-UAV mission into mobile and fixed-site packages.

Variants
Public InterProInvest material presents RIFF as a three-configuration counter-UAV family rather than a single launcher: RIFF-P is the portable gun-form system, RIFF-M is the mobile system, and RIFF-S is the stationary site-protection system.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| RIFF-P | Portable anti-drone jammer | Portable configuration with a directional 20-degree antenna, roughly one-hour battery endurance, four-band 100 W output in public reporting, and a suppression range listed around 1.5 km. Sources: Anti-Drone System RIFF, ArmyInform RIFF-P |
| RIFF-M | Mobile anti-drone system | Vehicle-oriented configuration with 360-degree antenna coverage, detection listed up to 5 km, jamming range up to 3 km, 1 kW output across eight lines, and up to 24 hours of offline operation.
