Russian Signal-M2 detector auto-triggers EW jamming against drones

Bottom line

Russian channels report the deployment of the Signal-M2, a new drone detector with a 5km range and 300-10,000 MHz continuous band that automatically triggers compatible electronic warfare stations to jam drones.

Why it matters

Indicates Russian efforts to automate the detection-to-jamming kill chain, reducing reaction times and operator workload in counter-drone operations, which poses a challenge for NATO forces relying on manual EW response protocols.

Russian milbloggers describe the Signal-M2 as a new drone detection system capable of operating across a 300-10,000 MHz continuous band to detect both digital and analog signals. The system features an automated link to compatible electronic warfare stations, allowing it to trigger jamming responses without manual intervention. This represents a shift towards integrated, automated counter-drone detection and suppression loops.
