ARDRONIS Effect - Multiband jammer for counter-drone missions
Some of the most relevant examples include military-grade loitering munitions, commercially available FPV and other types of “kamikaze” drones.
Whether large, small, fixed or rotary wing, drones use dif¬ferent communications frequencies, waveforms and pro¬tocols, making them particularly difficult to disrupt on the modern battlefield. While commercial drones operate across one of five industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands, criminal and military drones are not limited to these bands and take advantage of a gapless spectrum.
To further complicate this problem, drones receive soft¬ware upgrades as frequently as every few months, includ¬ing changes in the frequencies, waveforms and protocols used to control them.
To successfully disrupt such a threat, jammers must be software-upgradeable to adapt to these changing threat profiles and capable of disrupting multiple frequencies sequentially or simultaneously, often with different power outputs depending upon threat types.
Across the current operating environment, drones are pro¬viding state and non-state actors alike an effective means of gathering intelligence and carrying out high-precision kinetic strikes.
