Avtobaza

Kvant 1L222 Avtobaza is an ELINT system designed to detect side looking airborne radars, air-to-ground fire-control radars and low-altitude flight control radars, as well as to provide intelligence data for the 1L125M APUR.

System composition

The ELINT system displays on the TV screen acquired targets with data on their direction finding, angular coordinates, radiation signal parameters and radar type classification. The APUR automated jamming control system is fed with target data via cable at a range of up to 100 meters.

Operational service

There are unconfirmed reports of the system being used in the capture of an RQ-170 UAV by the Iranian forces on 4 December 2011.
There are also unconfirmed reports of it being used by the Russian forces during the annexation of Crimea in March 2014 to overtake controls of an American drone.
