COUNTER SWARM APPLICATIONS
Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems These disrupt drone communications through jamming, spoofing GPS signals, or hijacking control frequencies. Advanced systems can selectively target drone frequencies while preserving friendly communications. Directed Energy Weapons High-powered microwave (HPM) systems and laser weapons can disable drone electronics or physically destroy targets. These offer precise, scalable responses from disabling individual drones to affecting entire swarms. Kinetic Interceptors Include both traditional projectiles and specialized counter-drone missiles. Some systems deploy nets or entanglement devices, while others use interceptor drones designed to physically disable targets. Detection and Tracking Systems Multi-sensor networks combining radar, electro-optical sensors, acoustic detection, and radio frequency analysis to identify and track drone swarms in complex environments. AI-Powered Coordination Systems Machine learning algorithms that can predict swarm behavior, optimize defensive resource allocation, and coordinate multiple counter-measures simultaneously.
