Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What's the best way to detect and destroy drones?
Drones have fundamentally transformed the war in Ukraine, becoming a
dominant force in modern warfare across the air, land, and sea. Inexpensive to produce,
easy to operate, and small to detect, drones are widely used for reconnaissance,
strikes, and electronic warfare. Since it is too costly and ineffective to shoot
down cheap drones with multi-million dollar missiles, drone-targeted detection
and defense systems have been developed. Since drones can be produced with
plastic, fabrics, or even cardboard and are often very small and quiet, a combination
of technologies is being used to detect them, including specialized radar,
acoustic sensors, radio frequency (RF) analyzers, and optical/thermal cameras.
Once detected, the protective system tries to break the communication between
the drone and its operator by emitting a powerful radio signal and then pushes
the drone away. But there are drones controlled by fiber optic cables, preprogrammed,
or autonomous, which don’t rely on radio signals. Drone technologies and their
counter technologies are being developed rapidly for the frontlines and civilian
defence.
Read the article and learn about counter technologies for aggressive drones.
