How to Strengthen Existing Military Defence Against UAS Threats

Drones for military operations are becoming a key technology in modern warfare and conflict. However, while military-grade drones are becoming more common, the use of publicly accessible Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has also increased, and as a result, these technologies have begun to be adapted for use in acts of terrorism and espionage.

Earlier in 2020, US forces in Syria found themselves being attacked via explosives dropped by UAS overhead, resulting in a number of casualties. Worse still, it was unclear who initiated the attack, as drones also make it far easier to launch anonymous assaults.

However, violence is not the only use for drones in the battlegrounds of war. Drones can also be used to drop vital supplies and contraband to rebels and other forces during conflicts like the one between India and Pakistan. Through delivery methods like this, the landscape of battle could be completely changed by UAS in more ways than one.

What can DroneShield do for military counterdrone defence?

DroneShield offers cutting-edge military defence and multi-sensor C-UAS technology that can detect, identify, and neutralise intruding drones over a wide radius. This includes providing comprehensive protection for bases, personnel, equipment, and sensitive information.

Fixed and portable counterdrone protection equipment allows for easy integration into existing security infrastructure, while training and support ensure that installation and operation go as efficiently and smoothly as possible.

The fixed DroneSentry provides situational awareness and is able to detect and neutralise threats around a 360-degree view, while the RfPatrol can be worn by security personnel to allow for portable, automated detection of UAS.

With real-time alerts sent to operators and on-board data recording for use in legal proceedings, DroneShield provides both counter-drone protection and valuable information on threats, allowing for better preemptive C-UAS measures and supplements existing defence against airborne threats
