What is the DroneCannon
The DroneCannon MKII is DroneShields next generation fixed site countermeasure with improved disruption capabilities, size and durability. The device offers non-lethal and non-kinetic countermeasures, forcing UAS to either ground at the point of disruptions or return-to-home. The DroneCannon MKII is also effective against swarm attacks and can counter numerous UAS within range.
DroneCannons are controlled through DroneSentry-C2 ‘Command-and-Control’ User Interface. Operators can view live coverage, alerts and setup automatic or manual engagement for defeat of threats detected by the system; as well as setup of predefined UAS exclusion zones for early warning alerts and autonomous defeat.
The DroneCannon MKII forms a part of the DroneSentry fixed site C-UAS system providing defeat with 90 degree coverage for a single unit to up to 360 degree coverage with four units mounted on the mast.
Also available as a stand alone countermeasure, the DroneCannon MKII can operate without a detection system and easily integrates into existing security systems.
DroneShield’s C-UAS defeat capabilities do not involve protocol manipulation or “cyber” tactics, given the limitations of those methods. Our defeat technologies offer non-kinetic jamming for controlled management of response to threats.
Benefits of the DroneCannon
- Fast Response – Instant activation RF Disruption
- Scalable – 360 degree coverage with four sensors combined on a single mast
- Non-lethal Countermeasure – UAS are either forced to ground at the point of jamming or return-to home (back to the controllers predesignated position)
- GNSS Jamming – Interrupt UAS navigation capability, forcing targets to ground, landing in a controlled descent
- Immediate Video Cease – Interupts video link (transmission) to the drone controller if controller is in disruption range
- Stop the Swarm – effective countermeasure to drone swarm attacks from multiple positions
- Autonomous – Integrates with DroneSentry for an automatic detect-and-defeat, or, optionally, man-in-the-loop
