Abstract
The project’s general objectives were to develop a system that intercepts drones using audio and radio frequencies. This project provides a complete solution, integrating state-of-the-art passive and active detection technologies. We have produced a prototype and field-tested the technology; we are heading toward developing a market-ready model after completing a Patent request. We aim to have an Anti-Drone system that can operate stealthily without emitting eM noise. The innovative use of Sodar and Beamforming devices makes our system unique and operable to protect a predefined perimeter in the most different conditions.
