Many people say that counter-drone strike systems are so expensive, just buy a drone counter-attack gun. Countering UAV strike systems and UAV countermeasures are two different technical means, the main differences of which are as follows:
1. Countering UAV strike systems.
A counter-drone strike system is an active defense system against drone threats designed to neutralize the threat by directly destroying or destroying the drone. It usually includes the following features:
Active attack: The counter-UAV strike system directly destroys or shoots down the UAV by using lasers, missiles, high-energy electromagnetic and other systems.
High lethality: The system usually has a high lethality, capable of accurately striking drone targets at long distances and effectively neutralizing threats.
Complexity and cost: Counter drone strike systems typically consist of multiple components and subsystems, requiring complex integration and operation, while being costly.
2. UAV countermeasure equipment.
Drone countermeasures are a technical means of passively eliminating drone threats, the main goal of which is to disable the drone's communication, navigation, or control systems by disabling it from working or controlling. It has the following features:
Passive jamming: UAV countermeasures use jamming technology to interfere with the drone's communication and navigation systems by emitting electromagnetic signals of a specific frequency.
Low lethality: The device does not directly destroy the drone, but rather makes it impossible for it to continue the mission or lose control, thus achieving the purpose of eliminating the threat.
Flexibility and portability: UAV countermeasures devices are typically designed to be portable and operationally flexible, allowing users to deploy and move as needed.
Compliance and privacy protection: The legal use of drone countermeasures requires compliance with local laws and regulations, while also being mindful of the protection of the privacy of others.
To sum up, counter-drone strike systems eliminate the threat by directly attacking and destroying the drone, while drone counter-measures take the drone's control out of control by interfering with the drone's communication and navigation systems. The choice of which technical means to use should be comprehensively considered according to the specific situation, needs and laws and regulations.
