DroneCannon Mk2
Long Range, Highly Effective Countermeasure
Item Number: 105 | NSN: 5865661650137
The DroneCannon Mk2 is DroneShield’s next generation fixed site countermeasure with improved disruption capabilities, size and durability. The device offers non-lethal and non-kinetic countermeasures, forcing UAS to either ground at the point of disruptions or return-to-home. The DroneCannon is also effective against swarm attacks and can counter numerous UAS within range.
DroneCannons are controlled through DroneSentry-C2 ‘Command-and-Control’ User Interface. Operators can view live coverage, alerts and setup automatic or manual engagement for defeat of threats detected by the system; as well as setup of predefined UAS exclusion zones for early warning alerts and autonomous defeat.
The DroneCannon forms a part of the DroneSentry fixed site C-UAS system providing defeat with 90 degree coverage for a single unit to up to 360 degree coverage with four units mounted on the mast.
Also available as a stand alone countermeasure, the DroneCannon can operate without a detection system and easily integrates into existing security systems.
DroneShield’s C-UAS defeat capabilities do not involve protocol manipulation or “cyber” tactics, given the limitations of those methods. Our defeat technologies offer non-kinetic jamming for controlled management of response to threats.
Advantages
Fast Response
Instant activation RF Disruption.
Scalable
360 degree coverage with four sensors combined on a single mast.
Non-lethal Countermeasure
UAS are either forced to ground at the point of jamming or return-to home
(back to the controllers predesignated position).GNSS Jamming
Interrupt UAS navigation capability, forcing targets to ground, landing in a controlled descent.
Immediate Video Cease
Interrupts video link (transmission) to the drone controller if controller is in disruption range.
Stop the Swarm
Effective countermeasure to drone swarm attacks from multiple positions.
Autonomous
Integrates with DroneSentry for an automatic detect-and-defeat, or, optionally, man-in-the-loop.

Air Force Base
DroneShield deployed a DroneSentry detect and defeat system at Grand Forks Air Force Base. The deployment had multiple DroneSentry units around the large-scale site, forming a 360° integrated Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) platform for long-range detection, classification, tracking, and defeat.
