DroneRIFLE

Drone / UAV Defence System

DroneRIFLE

MainPic-DroneRIFLE

 

Overview:

DroneRIFLE is the ideal solution when drones and UAVs are visually detected and if they need to be neutralized immediately by
blocking the radio frequency communication or Global Satellite Navigation System. The binocular allows to track the drone at
long distance and to point the ri! e and its mounted directional antennas towards the object.

The electronic jamming system may be delivered in form of a manpack or portable case. The jamming system includes
rechargeable Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries for an autonomy of 1h (continuous jamming).

The jamming signal covers standard drone remote control frequencies as well as the GSNS (Global Satellite Navigation System)
signal applied by drones when reaching their target by autopilot. Helical high gain antennas are e" ciently transmitting the
jamming signal thanks to vertical and horizontal polarization.

The system is easily transportable and may be set up within a few seconds.

Application:

  • Critical infrastructure protection (government premises, religious events, nuclear power plants, airports, sport stadiums)
  • Military and Homeland Security
  • Protection of prisons against smuggling weapons, mobile phones and drugs
  • Border protection

Overview:

The Emergency Transmitter / Locator Custodes is a discreet security escort for people in case of an emergency, allowing them in a fast and easy way to send an emergency message anywhere in the world. The person will be immediately located through GPS or GSM as well through an integrated radio frequency transmitter. Through the RF transmitter the person in distress may be located also in case that no GPS- or GSM signal is available (e.g. if the person is underground or in a car trunk).

Application:

  • Locating of kidnapped persons
  • Locating of elderly people, children or assets
  • Emergency transmitter of people in distress (lost, avalanche, accident etc.)

Features:

  • GPS, GSM and RF transmission
  • Customized camouflaging in various objects (belts, shoes, clothes and other objects)

Increased battery autonomy (6 months standby autonomy)

JM-RCIED-3600

RCIED Jamming System for Mobile Application

JM-RCIED-3600

 

MainPic-JM-RCIED-3600

Overview

The JM-RCIED-6000 is a wideband jamming system to protect against RCIED (remote controlled improvised explosive devices).

Integrated in a shock-proof and easy transportable pelicase the system was developed for mobile applications.

Transmitters, mobile phones or radios that may be used to remote control a bomb, transmit all with different signal characteristics (modulation, channel size, output power etc.). Therefore it is essential that the jamming signal is created and adapted individually to cover each RF waveform from those different adversarial transmitter signals precisely.

In order to generate multiple jamming signals, each with different waveforms, the JM-RCIED-6000’s hardware is based on several signal generating DDS chips.

The efficiency of a jammer is primarily due to the ability of creating adapted RF waveforms (and not due to the output power of the jammer). Therefore the system’s design and software are developed to create the jamming signal without any limit - any modulation or waveform may be produced.

APPLICATION

  • EOD Squats
  • Airport Security
  • Event Security

FEATURES

  • FPGA, DDS technology
  • Multiple DDS chips to program frequency bands individually
  • Software to create jamming signals individually
  • Fully programmable jammer
  • Plug & play exchangeable battery case
  • Wideband (optionally up to 18 GHz)
  • High power up to 600 W

LIGHTNING

RCIED Jamming System – Vehicle Installed

LIGHTNING

 

MainPic-Lightning

Overview:

The LIGHTNING is a hybrid jamming system consisting of a continuous jamming and a reactive jamming module, developed for vehicle installation.  The continuous jamming creates a safe zone in the near-field. The reactive jamming module detects any adversarial signal stronger than the noise level created by the continuous jamming. The detected powerful adversarial signals are precisely blocked at the exact channel bandwidth with the full power of the dedicated amplifier. The reaction (detection & jamming) time of 90 micro-seconds (100 MHz bandwidth) allows to detect and block even the fastest frequency hopping radios available on the market (10’000 hops / second).This allows to block high power transmitters of terrorists (HF, VHF, UHF radios) also very close (e.g. 15-20 meters) to the receiver. The reactive jamming module may reach jamming distances 100 times larger than distances achieved by common jammers (e.g. considering 100 W output power dedicated on a channel (e.g. 1 MHz bandwidth) compared to 100 W output power distributed by sweeping on a frequency wideband of 500 MHz).

The reactive jammer module may optionally be activated with reactive mode (detection & jamming) or work in continuous jamming mode only (without detection).

Application:

RCIED (Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices) RF Jamming System for vehicle installation

Features:

  • Detection of adversarial RF signal: the jamming system offers a real-time RF detection feature, allowing to detect any adversarial RF signal instantaneously and to jam on the specific detected channel / frequency band (Reactive Jamming).
  • Four FPGA chips control 24 DDS chips. Each DDS chip controls an individual amplifier resulting in 24 simultaneous jamming signal generations. =>Different jamming signal generations may be combined; covering the same frequency band, this results in high efficiency of jamming in the far-field as well as in the near-field.
  • DDS / DSP technology: any kind of modulation may be generated.
  • The jamming signal for each individual frequency bandwidth may be adapted in order to cover in an efficient way the adversarial signal => the signal for each frequency band will be generated with adapted signal parameters:

Speed of sweeping, carrier step size, power, channel raster and modulation.

  • Each communication medium (potential threat) does have specific RF characteristics and waveforms. Therefore the jamming signal is generated in each bandwidth with adapted characteristics covering each individual threat efficiently.
  • Tone and DTMF code transmission combat VHF/UHF radios efficiently at large distances.
  • Programmable filters offer precise and selectable channels for friendly communication.
  • LIGHTNING was demonstrated at the NATO trial in Belcoast in the class of RCIED Jamming Systems and achieved the best results (jamming distances).

DroneRANGER

Drone / UAV Defence System

DroneRANGER

MainPic-LR10

Overview:

DroneRANGER was developed to detect and defeat any kind of unmanned aerial vehicle, from micro-drones to large UAVs.  DroneRANGER in combination with the Long Range Radar System is applied to protect critical infrastructures where drones need to be detected at large distances. Micro-drones are typically detected within a distance of 2 to 4 km.

The defence system consists of a jamming system blocking radio frequencies used to remote control drones as well as blocking the frequency bands of Global Satellite Navigation System allowing drones to fly by auto-pilot.

Depending the application, protection level and geographical location, the jamming system is adapted regarding frequency band coverage and output power.

DroneRANGER is a modular system that may be used for detection or defence of drones independently.

Applied as a full system (combination of detection and defence), the radio frequency jamming may occur automatically upon drone detection or through manual assistance by a supervisor.

The frequency jamming may occur through directional or omnidirectional antennas, as well as in combination for a near- and far-field coverage.

Application:

  • Critical infrastructure protection (government premises, nuclear power plants, airports)
  • Military and Homeland Security
  • Protection against espionage attacks
  • Protection of prisons against smuggling weapons, mobile phones and drugs
