What is a DroneGun and What is DroneGun Mk4

A DroneGun is a device that uses radio frequency jamming and GPS jamming to defeat drones. The DroneGun Mk4 is manufactured by DroneShield whose offices are in Australia and the USA. DroneShield’s DroneGun Mk4 has been deployed on many assignments around the world.  A DroneGun breaks the command and control frequencies between the drone and controller, which forces it to enter the ‘fail safe’ and return to home.  When a drone is flying autonomously the GPS jamming capability of the DroneGun is used to prevent the drone from navigating via GPS satellites.  The DroneGun Mk4 is a highly effective, portable drone countermeasure. DroneGun Mk4 provides a safe countermeasure against a wide range of drone models. It allows for a controlled management of drone payload, such as explosives, with no damage to common drone models or surrounding environment due to the drone generally responding via a vertical controlled landing on the spot, or returning back to the starting point (assisting to track the operator)

Benefits of DroneGun Mk4

  • Effective coverage: Allows for coverage up to 1 km, in a wide range of environmental conditions
  • Fully Integrated: Battery powered single rifle style solution, one person operation
  • Easy to use: No technical training for set up or use required and a highly portable design
  • Immediate video cease: Immediately ceases video transmission back to the drone operator
  • Enables investigation: Drone remains intact and available for forensic investigation
  • Effective Frequency: Wide range of ISM bands and GNSS (satellite navigation)
  • Packaging: Ships in a rugged carry case (IP67)

General Benefits of DroneGuns

Every counter drone system has benefits and limitations and its important that an end user understands them.  Benefits of DroneGuns include:

  • Very effective against the drone threat
  • Long or short range defeat capability depending on model chosen
  • Uses radio frequency jamming to break the link between the drone and the pilot to send it home
  • If the drone is flying autonomous, the GPS jamming capability will stop it
  • It is effective against a swarm of drones
  • It is a simple point and shoot operation
  • It is handheld & highly portable

General Limitations of DroneGuns

Every counter drone system has limitations and its important that an end user understands them. Some limitations include:

  • The use of jamming technology is prohibited in many countries
  • There are collateral effects from the activation of RF or GPS jamming.  RF jamming will effect all users who are accessing the same part of the radio frequency spectrum as the drones. e.g. Some drones operate on the 2.4GHz frequency as this is the common Wi-Fi frequency. GPS jamming can effect navigation systems
  • Jamming is not target specific and will effect all drones within its range.
