The importance of anti-drone weapons
- Protect national security
In 2018, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) illegally entered Heathrow Airport in London, UK, causing delays to multiple flights and affecting thousands of passengers. This incident highlighted the serious threat posed by UAVs to civil aviation safety. The establishment of a countermeasure system can quickly identify and interfere with such UAVs, preventing similar incidents from recurring and ensuring aviation safety.
- Prevent terrorist and criminal activities
In conflict zones in the Middle East, terrorist organizations have repeatedly used drones for reconnaissance or to carry simple explosive devices for attacks. Although such incidents occur in specific regions, government agencies and important facilities around the world need to be vigilant against similar threats. Countermeasure systems can effectively prevent drones from approaching and taking action, reducing the risk of terrorist attacks.
- Safeguard personal privacy and trade secrets
In 2021, a well-known technology company's campus detected frequent drone overflights, raising suspicions of illegal photography and data collection. This not only violated employees' privacy but also potentially leaked the design information of the company's undisclosed products. Anti-drone systems can detect and expel such drones in a timely manner, protecting intellectual property and trade secrets.
- Avoid interference with emergency rescue and law enforcement operations
During the wildfire rescue in California, USA, illegal drone flights interfered with the aerial operations of firefighting helicopters, forcing the rescue operation to be suspended and increasing the difficulty of fire control. A countermeasure system can ensure the smooth flow of airspace in emergency situations, providing a safe flying environment for rescue operations.
- Conserve natural ecosystems and wildlife
In some national parks in Africa, poachers use drones to hunt and track wild animals, posing a serious threat to species conservation. By deploying countermeasure systems, park managers can effectively prevent illegal drone activities and protect rare wildlife from being hunted.
