Type of Counter UAV Technology to Consider

The December 2018 Gatwick’s closure due to drone sightings led to travel disruptions for over 120,000 travellers and massive business losses. There are other reports of drones misuse in the country, including in corporate espionage, media, smuggling, terrorist attacks, among other dangerous applications.

Using a counter UAV system guarantees your safety and that of your property. These systems leverage cutting-edge technology to detect, identify, classify and neutralise the threat posed by unmanned aerial vehicles.

Anti UAV Technology has seen the development of innovative products to protect the public. They include:

1. Radio Frequency (RF) Analysers: These are low-cost, short-range devices detect radio communication between a drone and its controller, identify drone makes and models.
2. Acoustic Sensors (Microphones): These devices detect the sound made by a drone and calculate a direction. Works best in quiet places.
3. Nets and Net Guns: These techniques prohibit the rotor blades and help capture the drone.
4. GPS Spoofers: A device that confuses the drone with a new signal. Allows the spoofer to take control of the drone.
5. Optical Sensors (Cameras): Consist of optical sensors fitted with standard daylight cameras, infrared or thermal imaging. They provide visual of a drone and images.
6.  Radar technology: These devices use radio energy to detect an object. By sending a signal, the device receives a reflection giving measuring direction and distance (position).
7. Drone jammers: They are handheld or mobile devices that send a burst of RF energy towards a drone to mask the controller’s signal. The drone can return home or fall.

Go on and consider the best Anti UAV Defence System to suit your needs. Always make sure the system you use is legal and safe for the rest of the public.
