The system, described in the latest issue of Army Digest magazine, is designed to protect strategically important areas and facilities — including missile divisions — from enemy optical and electronic intelligence satellites.
The Peresvet system should work autonomously and neutralize enemy reconnaissance satellites by emitting powerful laser beams. The laser system should affect satellites at an altitude of 200 to 1,100 kilometers, with a system coverage diameter of 130 to 180 kilometers. It should provide 360-degree azimuth coverage and affect targets at an angle of 21-155 degrees.
Peresvet’s main mission is to hide the maneuvering of mobile ground-based missile systems, creating uncertainty about their true positions and disrupting enemy reconnaissance efforts. This technology should strengthen Russia’s strategic defense capabilities, as it would ensure the concealment and protection of key military movements and facilities, writes Defense Blog.
