RIFF anti-drone system

Also known as
  • RIFF
  • Anti-Drone System RIFF
  • RIFF-P
  • RIFF-M
  • RIFF-S
  • InterProInvest RIFF

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.
