English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Defence
CONT

Counter-drone technologies generally fall into two categories : detection and mitigation. Detection technologies include infrared devices to track heat signatures, radio frequency detection for signals from a drone's remote controller, and acoustic methods to recognize the unique sounds of drone motors. Mitigation technologies are those that can repel or intercept a drone. For example, interference signals can jam the communications between the drone and its operator. Other technologies can try to net the drone, shoot it down, or disable it using trained hawks.
