The Defense System President-S, also referred to as BKO, is a fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft protection system designed to defeat incoming infrared-guided missiles by laser and radiofrequency/electronic jamming of the missile's seeker. President-S is intended to defeat primarily man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) such as the Russian Igla and the United Sates Stinger shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles. KRET and Ekran tested this system firing Igla missiles at a President-S equipped Mi-8 helicopter fixed up on a special rig. During the tests, several missiles were fired from a distance of 1,000 meters with no missile reaching its target due to the highly effective jamming. The President-S system includes: control unit; radar warner; laser warner; missile attack warner; countermeasures dispenser of chaff cartridges, cartridges of infrared radiation, single use cartridges with transmitters, interference; no coherent optical-electronic suppression station; LSOEP laser jamming system; and SAP radiofrequency jammer. The President-S is one of the best aircraft protection systems developed for the Russian Armed Forces.

Optionally, the BKO President-S modular missile protection system can be provided with the ABRL active towed radar decoy for large transport aircraft and tactical airplanes. Besides, the protection system can defeat more sophisticated air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles.

The LSOEP is a laser optical electronic jamming station is intended to protect passengers and transport planes, helicopters, commercial and frontline planes from air-to-air (AAM) and surface-to-air missiles (SAM) fitted with infrared homing heads. The LSOEP laser jamming system weighs 100-150 kilogram and can be placed within the aircraft's fuselage or on external stations and also includes missile launch warners. The multispectral solid-state or gas laser system has an effective range of 500 to 5,000 meters while covering 360-degree in azimuth and 90-degree in elevation. The system design guarantees the neutralization of at least two incoming missiles. The LSOEP jamming laser was developed as a component of the modular President-S missile defense system by the KRET corporation.

The SAP active radio-interference station is intended to protect fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft against radar-guided air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. The SAP creates radio-electronic interference in a given direction and wavelength suppressing radar-based systems at the stages of detection, support, guidance and attack. It provides a coverage of 120-degree in azimuth and 60-degree in elevation working in the G and J bands. The SAP jammer station weighs 51.5 kilogram and can neutralize four targets simultaneously. This protection system was developed as a component of the modular President-S missile defense system by the KRET corporation.
