8 Types of drone jammer Gun: Common FAQS to Answer

Are you confused about shotguns, netguns, GPS spoofing, RF jamming guns, laser guns, and EMP guns? In this article,  I will lead you to know their definition, working, pros, and cons. Hope this knowledge can help you select your best jamming gun. Remember to pay attention to your local laws, otherwise, the police will catch you in prison!!!

1. What is the drone jammer gun?

The drone jammer gun, also known as an anti-drone gun or handheld drone gun jammer, is an electromagnetic device intended to neutralize drones. Similar to a rifle, its key component is the radio frequency launcher, and the barrel acts as the emitting antenna. The device works by emitting powerful radio frequency towards a drone, interfering with its signal systems, such as communication and navigation. This interference results in the drone losing control, forcing it to land or return to its point of origin.

Anti-drone guns use various technologies to prevent unauthorized drones FPV＆UAV from entering airspace prohibited to them, such as airports, prisons, detention centers, public security facilities, and large-scale and other sensitive areas. These technologies protect us from potential threats, such as unauthorized surveillance, eavesdropping, or damage. Common countermeasures include drone signal jamming, GPS spoofing, and directed energy.

2. Types of Drone guns and their advantages & disadvantages

Anti-drone guns are generally divided into two categories: kinetic drone guns(net gun, shotgun, smartgun) and non-kinetic drone guns (RF signal jammer, lasergun, GPS spoofing, EMP gun) Their kinetic devices disable target drone physically whereas non-kinetic devices interfere with the drone operation by using emitted signals.

Key Classification:

1. Kinetic jamming Gun

These systems exert a physical effect on the drone, either by seizing or destroying it, employing direct impact to disable or halt the drone.

1) Net Gun: Shoot out a net to ensnare the drone's propellers, leading to stability loss and a safe touchdown. It's a non-destructive way to neutralize drones.
2) Shot Gun  A shotgun is a long-barreled firearm designed to shoot a straight-walled cartridge called a shotshell, which ejects numerous small spherical projectiles called shot, or a single solid projectile called a slug.

3) Smart shotgun: A smart gun, also known as a personalized firearm, is a gun that can only be used by authorized users. Smart guns utilize technology such as biometric recognition or radio frequency identification (RFID) to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing and using them.

2. Non-kinetic Jamming  Guns

These anti-drone devices disable drones without causing physical damage, using electronic or signal-based interference.

1) RF Jamming Guns (Radio Frequency Jammer Guns)

These anti-drone products release a high-powered signal that can jam the communication frequencies (which are generally radio frequencies or GPS signals) between the drone and its operator. This makes it impossible for the drone to receive commands or send data, resulting in a loss of control or a return to its home position for GPS-enabled drones.

Product Features:

◎ Long jamming range: 800-2000M

◎ Adopt ultra-high frequency broadband seamless interference technology

◎ Effective segmentation, only interferes with drone control and video transmission frequency, and won’t interfere with other frequencies.

◎ Effective against most commercial drones

◎ Single-channel adjustable switching technology to control the power level output, with a battery power display.

◎ The higher the effective power (channel power), the greater the jamming distance.

◎ Imported devices. Slow start circuit design can avoid the firing phenomenon produced by mechanical switches, high integration, and stable work.

◎ Using built-in battery, plug and play battery, can be replaced at any time, 4 hours of charging, lasts about 1 hour.

4 SMA/N type ports for connecting directional antenna (900M/2.4G/GPS/5.8G)

One power charging port (DC24V IN)

2) GPS Spoofing Gun: this spoofing gun produces false GPS signals to the drone's navigation system, making the unauthorized drones lose control and forcing them to land or redirect their home base.

3) Laser Gun: Use focused, high-energy laser beams to target the drone's electronics or propulsion system to create a controlled crash or loss of control without damaging the surrounding environment.

4) EMP Gun: An EMP gun is a weapon that attacks using high-energy EMPs. It normally uses the high-power electromagnetic pulse interference wave to disturb the target field of the electronic system. That interference could target the flight control system, signal transmission system, etc., of low-speed small micro aircraft such as drones, so that it lose control and lands on the ground or crashes.

5) Acoustic Gun: Loud sound waves disrupt drone stability, causing loss of control or deviation. This is a non-lethal, non-destructive method.

Common FAQS about drone jamming guns

◎ Will anti-drone guns interfere with other electronic devices working properly?

No, they won't. This is because the electromagnetic signals emitted by the drone jammer fall within the operating frequency ranges specified by national regulations and only serve to block 

◎  Is the anti-drone gun harmful to the human body and cell phone?

Users can rest assured that the strength of the emitted electromagnetic signals is very weak, and testing data shows that this level of signal intensity is far from posing any harm to the human body. Moreover, it only interferes with forward signals, preventing drones from establishing contact with their remote controls, hence, it will not cause any damage to the drone itself.

◎ Is there a difference in distance between anti drone guns when used indoors and outdoors?

Yes, there is. Generally speaking, outdoor signals are used outdoors, so indoor jamming is less effective.  To be precise: whether used indoors, or outdoors, the effective range of the drone jammer is related to the current environment and surrounding conditions, such as the distance from the drone, the placement location, etc. 

◎ Will prolonged operation damage the anti drone guns, especially after the casing heats up?

This is a normal phenomenon. In our design, we utilize the thermal conductivity of the all-aluminum casing to assist in cooling. Thus, it ensures that the machine can work stably for an extended period. Therefore, the heating of the casing will not damage the machine.
