What is the anti drone system
Anti drone system refers to the anti-Uavs system that uses spectrum detection, radar detection, radio interference suppression and other technologies to control and defend illegal invasion of drone. It is mainly composed of detection detection unit and interference suppression unit. The detection unit is responsible for real-time collection of the drone signals in the control area of the drone. Once the illegal invasion drone is found, the alarm information will be generated immediately and transmitted to the interference suppression unit, and the interference signal of the drone will be sent to drive the invading drone or force landing.
I hope this article will give you a deeper understanding of the anti-drone system and how to choose the appropriate equipment to build your anti-drone system.
產業背景
隨著人工智能、通訊技術和航空工程技術的快速發展,無人機器人的應用範圍越來越廣。從商業用途到軍事行動,無人機成為現代社會不可或缺的一部分。
從圖 1 可以看出,全球無人駕駛飛行器市場呈現持續上升的趨勢。這也意味著我們將面臨越來越多的無人機潛在風險。為了加強對無人駕駛飛行器的管理,美國、中國、日本、歐盟等國家相繼出台了無人駕駛飛行器RID管理規範。然而,面對未經授權的無人駕駛飛行活動,簡單的RID模式可能會失效。因此,我們需要更全面的反無人機解決方案。如雷達與光電、軟殺系統與硬殺系統等。
系統組成
在我們開始描述反無人機系統之前,我有兩個問題:
- 如何尋找無人機?
- 如何攻擊無人機?
這也是我們的核心問題。我們建立了反 Uas 系統。
我們從第一個問題開始,「如何找到無人機」。此刻,大家首先想到的可能是雷達。事實上,雷達在無人機偵測中也扮演著重要的角色。在無人機偵測中,主要使用相控陣列雷達。除了雷達之外,還有 RF 偵測裝置和光電追蹤裝置。這些設備中的每一種都可以獨立運行,也可以一起使用,相輔相成。因此,您可以根據自己的財務預算來決定購買這些設備中的哪一種。什麼都買是最好的選擇,如果您的資金有限,那麼選擇 RF 偵測系統將會是最好的選擇。
解決了如何偵測無人機的問題後,我們來談談「如何攻擊無人機」。首先我們把反無人機的方法分為軟殺和硬殺。在日常應用中,最常見的是軟殺設備,如無人機干擾設備、GNSS 詐騙設備等。硬杀伤一般指物理破坏,如激光。
為什麼更多人選擇軟性殺戮?
由於使用電磁波干擾軟消滅設備比較簡單,價格也比較便宜,在體積和重量上都相對比較合適。
然而,軟殺方法存在一些缺陷,對於抗干擾能力較強的特殊 Uav 可能無效。這就是硬殺的用武之地。但軟殺基本可以應對目前絕大多數的 Uav,所以軟殺設備在反無人機中扮演著非常重要的角色。不要小看軟殺設備,目前市面上的軟殺設備可以覆蓋所有的UAV通訊頻段。
雷射作為最強大的硬殺手段,無人機絕對不能忽視它的存在。有人可能會問,為什麼不用槍射擊無人機呢?那不是更好嗎?要知道,由人來操作快速飛行的無人機是很難擊中目標的。激光設備通過檢測的數據引導完成目標瞄準動作 設備。雷射的缺點是昂貴、複雜且射程有限。 Since hard kill devices involve some sensitive stuff, I won’t discuss it much here. Please understand that this information may not be available later. If you have any questions, please email me.
上述設備可以集合在一起,形成一個完整的反 UAV 系統,實現發現 UAV 然後反擊 UAV 的任務。這就是我前面提到的兩個問題的答案。我會從這兩方面介紹具體的裝備內容。我會從這兩個方面介紹具體的裝備內容,一個是偵測系統,一個是反制系統。

計數器系統
After detecting the drone through the detection system, it is necessary to solve the problem of how to defend the drone. The ways to defend Uavs are usually divided into two main categories, namely soft kill and hard kill. Soft kill is mainly achieved through electronic technology, while hard kill uses physical destruction. At present, the most common is soft-kill technology, because it is better cost performance and less difficult to implement. Soft kill technology applies electromagnetic wave technology to interfere with the remote control signal and video transmission signal of UAV by transmitting the same frequency signal. The technology was first used in drone jamming devices, and then spawned into drone spoofing devices.The market is flooded with drone jamming devices, and let’s discuss this one first. Then, let’s look at drone decoy devices.
無人機干擾器
什麼是無人機干擾器:
利用高頻電磁波技術,將電磁波傳送至與UAV通訊頻段相同的頻段,干擾UAV接收遙控器上的指令,導致UAV無法正常解析遙控器上的指令及影像訊號,進而失去控制,並依預設程序返航或降落。
通常,我們會根據干擾器的結構將其分成幾類,即固定式干擾器、背包式干擾器和手持式干擾器。以下我列出了幾張與這些類型相對應的圖片。

How to Choose a Jammer
Currently, there are many different jammers on the market. However, according to the structure of the equipment, it can be divided into three categories, respectively, stationary jammer, backpack jammer, and handheld jammer. You need to choose the right type for different use cases. Stationary jammer used for installation in outdoor use, to establish a station defense area, can be used for a long time. However, backpack jammers and handheld jammers are usually used when performing temporary tasks and cannot be used for a long time, and the working time is limited by the battery life. In addition, from the antenna of the interference device can be divided into omnidirectional interference and directional interference. Under a specific design, directional jamming can also achieve 360° omnidirectional jamming. What you need to know is that the directional jamming distance will be better than the omnidirectional jamming distance. The advantage of omnidirectional jamming is that the signal is transmitted at 360°. The above mainly analyzes the related characteristics of the jammer from the structure, and then I will introduce some key performances of the jammer from the technical point of view.
There are two key parameters here:
- Frequency(It refers to the frequency range of the interfering signal emitted by the device)
- Power(It refers to the power of the interfering signal transmitted by the device)
The operating frequency of the device is determined by the communication frequency of the drone. There are two links for UAV communication, one is the remote control signal link, and the other is the video transmission signal link. These two signal bands are the ultimate targets of jamming devices. Common UAV communication frequencies: 868M, 915M, 1.5G, 2.4G, 5.2G, 5.8G. To cope with interfering devices, some FPV use very rare signal bands, such as 1.2G and 3.3G. These frequencies are the frequencies that jamming devices need to use.
Now let’s look at anther parameter – Power. Signal power is often related to our other important performance, which is the jamming distance. Obviously, the larger the power, the farther the signal travels. At present, common power values such as 10W, 20W, 50W, 100W. 20W is commonly used in jamming guns, 50W and 100W are commonly used in stationary jamming equipment. It might be different in practice, but it’s a common occurrence. Because the large power requirements for the power supply will be higher, will undoubtedly bring more volume and heavier weight. So, if you want more interference range, you need more signal power. In addition, different interference ranges are obtained by using omnidirectional and directional antennas.
In general, the signal gain of directional antennas is between 10 and 16db, while the gain of omnidirectional antennas is between 2 and 6db. But the beam Angle range of directional antennas is limited and may be less than 90°. However, the signal radiation of omnidirectional antenna is 360° in the horizontal direction. It’s more of a performance tradeoff, distance for Angle. From the energy point of view, it follows the conservation of energy. Of course, we can use technology to send directional signals in a 360° direction.
Omni-directional antenna beam
Directional antenna beam
By analyzing the above 2 key parameters, I think we can clearly understand what kind of jammer we need. For example, say you spot an unauthorized DJI drone within 500 meters and want to temporarily disrupt it. We can easily check that the communication frequency of DJI UAV is 2.4G and 5.8G, and 5.2G is also used in some areas. GPS positioning is often 1.5G. The jamming gun uses a directional jamming mode, and usually 20W of high-frequency signal power can effectively interfere to a distance of 500 to 1000 meters. So, all you need is a jamming gun containing 1.5G,2.4G,5.2G,5.8G, and 20W signal power for a single channel. It’s possible that the DJI drones in your area are not using the 5.2G frequency. You can also get rid of it, so you can save some money. This is the simplest example, but the reality is that it’s much more complicated, so most people choose to cover as much bands as possible.
It is important to know that the interference distance described by many sellers is usually the limit distance determined by the ideal environment. However, in reality, the interference distance involves many factors, such as the natural environment, the electromagnetic environment, the fuselage direction of the UAV, the signal transmission route from the remote control to the UAV, and so on. Let’s look at the plot of the distance between the device signal and the drone and the distance between the remote control and the drone to understand the concept of interference distance more clearly.
At point Q, the strength of the drone signal and the device signal are equal, when the device is 1000 meters away from the drone. Within a distance of less than 1000 meters from D, the signal strength of the device is higher than that of the drone, that is, the signal of the drone is suppressed in this area. When D starts to increase, the device signal becomes weaker, while the distance between the drone and the remote control becomes closer, and the signal strength of the UAV is stronger. At this point, the drone signal cannot be suppressed and the drone cannot be interfered. If the departure point of the drone is farther away, the Q point position will move to the right, meaning that the device interference distance will increase. So usually the interference distance given is either a range or an extreme value.
By understanding the above, I believe you have been able to choose a suitable jamming device.
