Drone Interception & Protection
Drone Net
The system is effective in detecting and tracking both near and far distances with an optimum monitoring distance of a single detection station of up to 5 KM away. Detection and tracking equipment can be meshed to meet a variety of different existing environments with pre-set or configurable automated actions. It has a 5M false positive height detection that is more effective than the most advanced radar-based detection system.
The design of the mesh means it can be installed and used in complex electromagnetic environments such as cities, suburbs, campuses, etc. with multiple base stations to ensure full and broad coverage with excellent results. The system is currently used to protect petroleum storage and production installations.
The system has a high degree of automation, discovery, and tracking are fully automatic with instant target tracking and lock-on – sending real-time data and location to the control room and patrols (handheld interception) or automatically activating the fixed or mobile interception and jamming units either in the controlled zone or along the predicted drone trajectory.
Frequency Interception Towers
A typical oil depot or Airport environment will adopt a combination of detection, tracking and interception capabilities which forms the ARGon drone net. As shown in the figure, the deployment equipment is installed at the position of the yellow five-pointed star, and the radio detection equipment detects the signal of the drone with a radius of up to 5 kilometers. The software system has sound and light alarms, and users can choose to turn on the interception manually or automatically, jamming or decoy equipment.
It can completely cover the entire important protection area and can be expanded using additional repeater ground stations, to ensure an effective early warning system and automatic defense measures.
ARGon SZI (safe zone interception)
One of the significant land-based protection features is the ability to define interception zones features that protect not just the site but the surrounding areas from the aftermath of an interception.
Traditional interception methods using missiles are costly with varying degrees of success.
Smaller domestic drones can easily avoid radar and a missile interception cannot determine what is below the point of impact (housing, schools, public facilities etc.) Debris from the impact is significant and dangerous. This is especially relevant if the drone interception is based on detect and drop (especially for dark drones)
The ARGon drone net tracks a UFO from 5 Km out even at a height of 5 M above ground (using only one detector – detectors can be linked to increase the detection and tracking zone creating a protective net over a wide distance).
The system tracks the speed and the direction of the UFO. It automatically matches this with the dead zones or safe zones that have no risk of falling drones or debris. This is used to determine the point of signal interception. This point will take into consideration the speed and direction of travel and intercept over pre-determined ‘dead zones’ were the falling drone, and its payload will have no impact on anything below – once the drone is tracked entering the safe zone the system will automatically intercept the signal and prevent the drone from reaching its target
The ARGon drone net frequency interceptor Technical indicators:
- Detection type: omnidirectional detection
- Detection signal: UAV signal, remote control signal, and controller link signal
- Detection frequency: 900MHZ/1.2G, 2.4G, 5.8G, GNSS
- Detection distance: ≥4-5km
- Minimum detection height: 5m – low level detection UNDER RADAR DETECTION
- False alarm rate: ≤ 2%
- Whitelisting of frequencies to allow for always-on intervention while providing safe operation of specific frequency equipment.
- Blackout of all and any video transmissions which are usually on a separate frequency
- Take over control for controller drones and GC spoofing for GNSS drones
The radio detection and interception equipment uses robust and efficient materials and highly effective transmission net techniques; it is fully IP rated with the ability to withstand the harshest of environments.
The system cost is low, and it is suitable for multi-point distribution setting to improve the effective monitoring range creating a protective net.
The systems secure design and architecture allows seamless integration into other technologies without complex, risky or expensive interoperability issues.
Layered security
The ARGon drone net will protect a single site or large campus site using a robust detection and interception capability. For commercially available frequencies (controller-based drones) the system can be set to determine the actions needed.
- Hover until powered off
- Return to base
- Detect and drop
For Dark drones (GNSS) the operational process is different- these hand-made high payload drones have no controller and will terminate their trajectory either on preset coordinates or fuel depletion.
The system intercepts as
- Detect and drop (using the ARGon SZI technology)
- Spoof the co-ordinates to circle and drop or fly-away
GNSS Anti Drone Spoofer – dark drones and swarm
- Along with the frequency tower technology ARGon provides a fully integrated GNSS spoofer system to act in parrel. This deceives the GNSS location information required for a direct flight and induces the drone to fly incorrectly according to your requirements – this is highly effective against high-speed dark drones.
The ARGon Hellosat 3000 generates GPS and GLONASS signals in real-time with its time synchronization function, allowing it to radiate high-precision GNSS spoofing signals within 100ns to complement and incorporate into the ARGon drone net RF jammer.
This system is an optimal defense solution that can respond to weapon-grade swarm attacks with a medium-kilometer range.
- Time synchronization system: Built-in high-precision GPSDO, realizing synchronization with real GPS within 100ns.
- It is possible to change the location information of the drone in real-time(<1sec)
- It is possible to deceive the detected drone’s received GPS signal in real-time.
- Real-time location selection and automation program possible by providing public maps around the world.
- Supports various Open map APIs(Google map) to create random locations around the world
- Satellite signal analysis & RINEX generation.
- Remote control & Neutralization range adjustment.
- Precision output adjustment function according to the defense distance(300m~5km)
- Various types of defense areas can be configured by selectively applying directional and omnidirectional antennas.
- Time synchronization system: Built-in high-precision GPSDO, realizing synchronization with real GPS within 100ns.
