Jammer resistant drone designs spark search for countermeasures
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
Dedrone introduces DroneTracker 3.5
Dedrone has launched DroneTracker 3.5, designed to detect, localise and track simultaneous targets to protect against advanced UAS threats, the company announced on 19 September.
The DroneTracker 3.5 software, hosted in the cloud or on-premise, uses Dedrone’s DroneDNA database to recognise and classify RF, WiFi, and autonomous UAS up to 1km away from a protected site and determine the communications protocol of the UAS, its flight path and the location of the pilot. Once a UAS is detected, the software alerts security personnel and can be integrated to deploy a passive security measure or defeat technology.
The system uses RF sensors and video cameras to provide simultaneous detection, including a redesigned alert screen for handling multiple alerts. As UAS manoeuvre through the airspace, certain PTZ cameras will now be prompted by DroneTracker 3.5 to automatically mimic the movement, providing increased visual awareness of the vehicle’s identifying features and payload. In the case of multiple UAS, the system will prompt the PTZ camera to intelligently coordinate their behaviour.
DroneTracker 3.5 now integrates a point of interest marker with a tactical overlay on the user’s map, including real-time calculation of distance and movement of multiple targets. It supports street, satellite and hybrid maps, allowing for users to view drone alerts and movement on the map of their choice.
