Khibiny (electronic countermeasures system)
Khibiny (L-175V) (Хибины) (Л-175В) is Soviet / Russian aircraft electronic countermeasures (ECM) system. The name refers to Khibiny Mountains. The system is designed for radio direction-finding and probing signal source irradiation allowing it to distort reflected signal parameters. This helps to Delay aircraft detection; Mask the true subject against false reflections; Cause range finding difficulties, namely in speed and angular positions; Degrading Maintenance Mode TWS when scanning antenna beam radar; Increase the time and difficulty of capturing an object during real-time active scanning. History The first work related to the creation ECM "Khibiny" began in the Kaluga Research Institute of Radio Engineering; () in 1977. The plan was to create a unified set of electronic countermeasures for all the armed forces, where the tasks for KNIRTI was to develop SIGINT blocks of equipment "Proran" and radio jammer (RJ) "Regatta", which was successfully completed with protected of scientific research in 1980. In 1982 KNIRTI was entrusted with research and development activities, first with "Proran" and "Regatta", and after an ECM as a whole, which includes many developments on related topics (including the use of accumulated experience in the development of RJ " Sorption ", which was planned to be installed on
