Defence Blog reports that Peroyed-M electronic warfare systems have been spotted on Russian military vessels. Previously they were used only by Russian infantry units.
The section I quoted was in the context of land use. These wouldn’t be battery operated when fixed to a ship. I probably could have made that a little more clear.
Though, I think the drones UA has been using to strike tanker ships recently are fixed wing aircraft that would have an easier time guiding themselves in once a target is locked and remote singal lost. I could be wrong.
These are probably most effective against the small drone carrier boats. The ones that get close and launch a small swarm of quad copter attack drones.
Mounted on ships is probably the best place for these systems, but I’m still not convinced they’ll make a significant difference in defence.
