The role of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in modern conflicts is becoming increasingly significant. Whether used for surveillance, reconnaissance, or as a direct kinetic threat, UAS are expected to play a vital role in future conflicts. Radio-controlled small UAS operate on multiple complex layers, adapting quickly to changing situations. Effective management of these threats is crucial for mission success, as UAS can operate in close combat situations or at high altitudes.

Rohde & Schwarz leverages its extensive experience in RF reconnaissance and direction finding of frequency-hopping signals, as well as its expertise in civil drone detection at airports and critical infrastructure sites. By combining active disruption solutions with passive systems, threats can be identified and located. A targeted countermeasure is to neutralize threats by countering specific RF communications signals of an identified hazard. The ability to counter multiple threats simultaneously is a highly valued capability in any conflict zone.
