The Ukrainian company "Infoprotection" showcased its latest radio technical reconnaissance station "Archont" for the first time at the IDEX 2025 international arms exhibition, which opened today, February 17, in Abu Dhabi, UAE, at the stand of the State Company "Ukrspetsexport".
This complex was first presented in September 2024, but now its appearance and specifications have become public.
It is worth noting that "Archont" allows for the detection, analysis, identification, and classification of enemy electromagnetic emissions. When several such systems operate within a unified network, they can accurately determine the enemy's location. Furthermore, any unit within this system can function as a command center.
In simple terms, "Archont" can detect aircraft, helicopters, drones, naval radar systems, air defense systems, electronic warfare complexes, and more. Notably, this system only "listens"; it does not emit anything in the radio spectrum. As previously reported by "Infoprotection," all software is Ukrainian, incorporating elements of artificial intelligence.
According to the published specifications, "Archont" can detect enemy radioactivity at distances of up to 400 km, searching and analyzing across a wide frequency range from 0.5 to 18 GHz, with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. The claimed accuracy of direction to the target is less than 1 degree, and when multiple systems are used for triangulation, the accuracy is less than 1.5% of the range.
It has been indicated that "Archont" can be produced in three versions: ultra-portable, portable on a tripod, and fully functional, which can be assembled on a trailer base.
All versions feature a remote control unit, and as shown in the model photograph, remote operation can be implemented without any limitations thanks to the use of Starlink satellite communication.
It is known that one version of "Archont" is already in use by the Ukrainian military. As of October last year, it was reported to be utilized for detecting enemy air defense systems, including not only powerful radars but also missile systems like the S-300/S-400, various short-range systems such as "Tor," as well as several surface targets and enemy aircraft.
