Countering drones early on

ARDRONIS counter-drone solutions

Detecting, localizing and disrupting RC drones

The proliferation of malicious and non-cooperative drones is an ever-increasing threat to aviation and sensitive site security. Whether it be disruption of critical national infrastructure at home or risk of life to forward-deployed personnel abroad, civil and government organizations and agencies; all of them require affordable and reliable counter-drone solutions. Protective measures can only be taken after a threat is detected. To effectively counter the threat, early warning is necessary – every second counts.

ARDRONIS is a family of counter-drone solutions from Rohde & Schwarz. The system-of-systems approach provides customers with the ability to detect-identify-locate-track-verify-counter malicious and non-cooperative threats in line with their unique, end user requirements.

When ARDRONIS detects commercial drone activity, it automatically classifies the type of drone signal, determines the direction of the drone and its pilot, and disrupts the radio control link to prevent the drone from reaching its target.

The majority of commercial remote controlled drones are controlled (uplink) via frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS), a modern frequency agile waveform. Another major family of drones is controlled (uplink) via Wi-Fi. Signals transmitted from the drones (downlink) are typically FHSS, wideband or Wi-Fi signals.
