Counter-UAS, Laser and Kinetic Systems – Detection, Neutralization and Airspace Protection

The main objective is the development of:

Layered Air Defence Against UAVs

What Counter-UAS Systems Represent

Counter-UAS systems are a комплекс of technologies enabling:

• drone detection
• identification and classification
• real-time tracking
• neutralization or control

They include a combination of:

• sensors (radar, RF, cameras, acoustic)
• AI analytics
• communication systems
• mitigation mechanisms

Modern systems combine multiple technologies for higher accuracy and reliability

Core Components of a Counter-UAS System

Detection Systems (Detection Layer)

• radar systems (short/medium range)
• RF detectors (detecting communication between drone and operator)
• EO/IR cameras (visual and thermal recognition)
• acoustic sensors

New AI algorithms enable detection of small drones even in complex environments

AI Analysis and Classification

• drone type recognition
• behavioral analysis
• threat assessment
• automatic scenario activation

Modern systems use deep learning for high-accuracy micro-drone detection

Mitigation Methods (Mitigation / Engagement Layer)

Counter-UAS systems are divided into:

Soft Kill and Hard Kill

1. Electronic Warfare / Soft Kill Systems

RF Jammer Systems

• jamming communication between drone and operator
• blocking GPS signals (GNSS denial)

The drone:

• loses control
• returns to home point
• or performs forced landing

Example:

• fixed and portable systems with ranges of 12–30 km
• lightweight handheld anti-drone “guns” with range up to ~2 km

Spoofing / Hijacking Systems

• takeover of drone control
• forced landing
• data extraction

Used by:

• law enforcement
• intelligence agencies
• event protection teams

2. Hard Kill Systems (Physical Destruction)

Kinetic Systems

• interceptor drones
• net capture systems
• projectile systems

Used for:

• safe takedown
• protection of populated areas

Interceptor UAVs

• autonomous or operator-controlled
• using:
• nets
• direct collision
• AI tracking

Increasingly used in:

• military operations
• airport protection
• event security

Artillery / Airburst Systems

• programmable ammunition
• destruction through fragmentation

3. Laser Counter-UAS Systems (Directed Energy Weapons)

(including portable systems)

High-Energy Laser (HEL)

• neutralizes drones through thermal destruction
• high precision
• minimal collateral damage
• range up to several kilometers
• capable of penetrating metal components

Advantages:

• near-unlimited “ammunition”
• low cost per shot
• extremely fast response

4. Microwave / EMP Systems

• disable drone electronics
• effective against swarm attacks

New systems can neutralize multiple drones simultaneously using electromagnetic pulses

5. Portable Counter-UAS Systems

Handheld Anti-Drone Guns

• compact
• rapid deployment
• RF or GPS jamming

Increasingly popular solutions from Chinese manufacturers include:

• jammer rifles
• portable laser systems
• backpack-based mobile solutions
