Drone jammers play a critical role in high-profile enents from 2016 Summer Olympics to Super Bowl LV. These anti drone devices successfully prevent the drones from perform surveilance and espionage, drones intrusions and ensure public saty. Here are some successful cases where drone jammers interfere with the unanthorized drones.
1. 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics
In August 2016, due to the deployment of drone detection systems and jammers by the Brazilian government around Olympic venues and key locations to prevent drones from entering restricted airspace. Drones have no chance to enter the Olympics venues to perform surveiliance and attacks.The implementation of drone blockers was recognized for ensuring the safety of athletes and spectators.
2. 2018 London Gatwick Airport Drone Disruptions
In December 2018, Drones were flown near the runway at Gatwick Airport, leading to the more than 1000 flights canceled or delayed. Then authorities used drone jammers to interfere with the drones' GPS and communication system, ensuring the airspace security.
3. Super Bowl LV (2020)
In February 2020, law enforcement and security personnel utilized drone jammers to deter unauthorized drones from entering the stadium and its vicinity. The jammers focused on disrupting communication and GPS signals to neutralize any trespassing drones.
Finally, here’s a chart summarizing the notable high-profile drone jammer events, including the event name, date, problem, solution, and outcome:
