Use case: ARDRONIS Wi-Fi – the basis for drone decoding

Next-generation counter-drone capability for automatic detection of Wi-Fi controlled drones

Affordable and easy to use, Wi-Fi controlled drones con¬tinue to grow in popularity around the world, making them a significant threat to critical national infrastructure and special events.

Although they have limited range and endurance, more advanced Wi-Fi controlled drones can automatically switch between Wi-Fi channels within the same band, typically the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands, making them particularly difficult to find and fix.

However, national regulations require radio-controlled drones to emit a remote identification (Remote ID) signal which can include the serial number, GPS coordinates, speed, altitude and timestamp of a drone as well as the location of its operator.

Thanks to emerging technologies, these types of commu¬nications protocols can now be captured and decoded by more advanced counter-drone capabilities on the market, a capability which allows law enforcement and security agencies to identify non-cooperative drone operators at the earliest opportunity.

Rohde & Schwarz solution

The Rohde & Schwarz ARDRONIS Wi-Fi solution provides customers with game-changing levels of detection, loca¬tion and identification for Wi-Fi enabled drones.

As part of the company’s wider family of ARDRONIS counter-drone systems, ARDRONIS Wi-Fi can detect a drone through its media access control (MAC) address and communications protocol, locate it by exploiting Wi-Fi signal transmissions and identify it by decoding a transmitted Remote ID.

ARDRONIS Wi-Fi not only confirms the presence of non-cooperative drones, but it also provides an approx-imate direction to the threat, even when the drone is grounded.

Furthermore, ARDRONIS Wi-Fi offers customers the abil¬ity to identify spoofing attempts, intercept video signals transmitted from the drone to the pilot and display them in real time.

A further method ARDRONIS Wi-Fi uses to disrupt the threat is to interrupt connectivity between the pilot and the drone without interfering with other drones and com¬munications in the immediate area. This is done by dis¬rupting the Wi-Fi control link and can be initiated

Benefits

More than 80 ARDRONIS Wi-Fi systems are currently deployed worldwide to actively protect critical national infrastructure, including airports, border facilities and prisons from non-cooperative drones.

With its Wi-Fi receiver station and directional/omni-di¬rectional antenna, ARDRONIS Wi-Fi is a cost-effective device with low power consumption that is easy to use and ideally suited to countering current and emerging threats.

ARDRONIS Wi-Fi can be employed in a standalone con¬figuration on a mast or co-located with other ARDRONIS equipment, offering customers unprecedented levels of mission flexibility and scalability with the wider family of ARDRONIS solutions.

Additional use cases include integration of the ARDRONIS Wi-Fi receiver with a small form factor antenna on board a ground vehicle, providing customers a rapidly deployable and highly mobile solution.

ARDRONIS Wi-Fi can also be upgraded to include pan-tilt controls, decoding functions and regular updates of its signal database.

Customers also benefit from a user-centric design, mak¬ing the solution easy to use and a critical asset for law enforcement and security agencies in almost any operat¬ing environment.
