Complete Guide to Anti-Drone Systems and How Anti-Drone Guns Work

The growing threat of drones to public safety, private property, and critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly significant. This includes illegal surveillance, smuggling, and disruption of airspace, making anti-drone systems and guns essential security tools.

What Is an Anti-Drone System?

An anti-drone system is a defense solution that detects, tracks, and disables unauthorized drones in sensitive areas, used in military bases, government buildings, airports, public events, private enterprises, and critical infrastructure.

Drone Detection & Tracking Technologies

The drone detection system uses radar-based detection, RF signal scanners, optical and thermal cameras, acoustic sensors, and sensor fusion to track airborne movement, identify drone operators, detect drones at night or in low-light settings, and listen for distinctive acoustic fingerprints from engines and propellers. These systems work together to identify threats with high accuracy, making them effective in vast, open regions.

Drone Neutralization Methods

Drones can be neutralized through electronic jamming, GPS spoofing, directed energy weapons, and physical interceptors. Electronic jammers disrupt the drone's signal, GPS spoofing disrupts its GPS, directed energy weapons use high-power lasers or microwaves, and physical interceptors capture or destroy threats mid-air.

How Anti-Drone Guns Work

Anti-drone guns are handheld or vehicle-mounted devices that use RF or directed energy to target drones, making them ideal for rapid response situations.

Type 1: RF Jamming Guns

RF anti-drone guns, featuring a high-power output transmitter, directional antenna, GPS jammer module, and built-in or swappable battery, disrupt communication between drone and operator, causing drone return home, landing, or uncontrollability.

Type 2: Directed Energy (Laser/Microwave) Guns

Laser and microwave anti-drone guns use concentrated energy to disrupt drone electronics, causing them to burn, overheat, or malfunction. Laser guns emit high-energy light beams, while microwave guns emit microwave radiation, causing drone components to fail mid-air, leading to crashes or power outages.

Benefits of Anti-Drone Guns

Precision targeting allows for targeted threat mitigation without damaging nearby assets, rapid deployment allows for immediate response to threats, and versatility allows for use in various locations.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

The product is effective within line-of-sight, weather-sensitive, and requires compliance with national regulations on RF and laser use.
