10 Latest Drone Technologies to Block Drone Signals

Are you annoyed that drones fly over your house or enter restricted airspace? Do you want to stop them from performing espionage, conducting surveillance, and even causing harm? I'd like to share the 10 methods to block drone signals.

1. RF Drone Jammer

RF jammer is the most common and wide device for jamming the UAV＆FPV drones. Drones typically use the common rf signals(2.4G＆5.8G) to establish a link with the operators. This jammer emits the same but more powerful radio frequency to interfere with the communication and navigation between the drones and their operators. Finally, the drones will land emergently or return to their original base.

These drone signal jammers have long jamming distances up to 6km and will not harm to the surroundings or the human body. In the meanwhile, they are suitable for all the environments around them. What's more, you can select a specific frequency for directional or omnidirectional jamming.

If you have these requirements, our drone jammer can meet your needs: https://desc-boost.com/ . If not, let's learn other methods to jam drones frequency. 

2. GPS Spoofing

A GPS spoofing mimics the real GPS satellites to transmit false navigation signals. The drones believe it is a different location, causing them to deviate from the operator’s location or land in an unintended area—this spoofer suit the drones that have a strong reliance on  GPS positioning.

3. Gun

• Shotgun

• Netgun

• RF drone jamming gun

• GPS Spoofing gun

• EMP Gun.......

 4.Trained bald eagles. 

We kid you not. Dutch authorities have trained eagles to take drones out of the sky.

 5. Geofencing

Establishing digital boundaries using geofencing technology to prevent drones from entering restricted areas. This is often done by drone manufacturers or airspace authorities.

6. Jet Skis

This is a less common method to neutralize drones. But it plays a crucial role in maritime security. Let's learn how effectively it could be done at the 2016 Yamaha New Zealand Festival of Freeride 4.

7. Hacking

Since drones operate as flying computers, it's been shown that they can be hacked through Wi-Fi by connecting to an unprotected network port on the device. Similarly, at the DEFCON hacker conference in Las Vegas, David Jordan from Aerial Assault showcased a drone capable of infiltrating computer networks by detecting unsecured networks, logging their positions via GPS, and transmitting the data back to the operator.

 8. High-energy lasers

This device generates a highly focused beam of light or laser beam to destroy the drone's structure or electronics.

9. Nets

Using a net is a rudimentary but effective method to stop drones. There are three various ways to use the net to disable drones.

•  Ground-based net cannons:  They can be hand-held, shoulder-launched, or turret-mounted with 20-300M range effectively. They can be used with or without a parachute to control the drone’s descent after capture.

• Net cannons fired from another drone: This method makes up for the shortcomings of ground-based net cannons. Although it can be challenging to target a moving drone, this method typically utilizes a parachute to ensure the captured drone descends safely.

• Hanging net deployed from a net drone:  A drone carrying the net is maneuvered towards the rogue drone. If the captured drone is not too heavy, the net drone can either transport it to a safe area or release it with or without a parachute to ensure a controlled descent.

 10.High power microwave(HPM) device

High Power Microwave (HPM) devices produce an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) to interfere with radio links and even destroys the electronic circuitry inside devices like drones. To reduce potential collateral damage, HPM devices may incorporate an antenna that focuses the EMP in a specific direction.
