Drone Jammers

Choose the most suitable drone countermeasure technology considering the application scenario

Not long ago, the growing threat of drones interfered with firefighting efforts in Los Angeles. Drones have been increasingly spotted in the airspace over wildfire zones, complicating the work of firefighters by delaying airdrops and making it more difficult to manage fires. 

As a key component of the low-altitude economy, drones have evolved into a field with outstanding value contributions and relatively mature technology in the low-altitude economy. Looking ahead, how should more and more drones be managed after taking off? Under the urgent need to protect the important strategic resource of low-altitude airspace, maintain social public safety, and safeguard the privacy rights of the public, it is necessary to include drone countermeasure technology in the scope of development.

The application strategies of drone countermeasure technology vary significantly in different scenarios. Due to factors such as electromagnetic interference and secondary disasters, the suitability of different UAV countermeasure technologies also varies.

For example, in large-scale event venues, technologies such as positioning signal jammer and positioning signal spoofing that do not directly damage the UAV body are more applicable, ensuring the safe return or landing of the UAV; In radio-sensitive areas such as airports and their surroundings, physical capture and attack and destruction technologies are key choices, but from the perspective of post-event traceability, physical capture technology is more preferred; In flammable, explosive, and polluting environments, signal spoofing technology is more suitable, which can eliminate the potential threat of secondary disasters. 

Thirdly, deployment and maintenance costs are crucial considerations. In general, the deployment cost of signal jammer technology is relatively low, while the deployment cost of attack and destruction technology is higher, and the cost of physical capture technology is moderate but requires highly skilled operators. When faced with large-scale, multi-level deployments, and distributed multi-node coverage, cost control or maximizing benefits will become a factor to be considered in the development of UAV countermeasure technology.
