Can Homemade Drones be Countered?

Can Homemade Drones be Countered?

Drones are the pinnacle of modern technology and the embodiment of human wisdom. In recent years, on one hand, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) / drones have reached new levels of precision and innovation, demonstrating excellent examples of state-of-the-art engineering. On the other hand, the extensive use of drones has also caused many unexpected troubles worldwide. Low-tech homemade drones are increasingly becoming a problem that cannot be ignored.

As the name suggests, homemade drones can be made at home by hobbyists and are usually made of metal, plastic or even wood. Compared to other mainstream drones, homemade drones are relatively easy to assemble, as many parts are cheap and readily available.

The communication between the drone and its controller is generally completed through radio frequency signals. At present, the mainstream drone manufacturers in the world usually use the 2.4GHz/5.8GHz frequency band, and some manufacturers also use the 400MHz/900MHz frequency band. Generally, the conventional anti-drone systems can cover these frequency bands, but what if uncommon bands outside of these frequency bands are used? In fact, some drone DIY enthusiasts will deliberately use non-mainstream frequency bands to avoid the interference of conventional anti-drone systems to drones.

To eliminate the threat posed by drones, including homemade drones, ND-BD003 Handheld Anti-Drone System designed by NovoQuad has been equipped with SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology. With this technology, this anti-drone jammer (ND-BD003) can interfere with frequencies bands of 400MHz~2GHz. The operator can set up to 8 frequency points (User-Defined Bands), and the device will automatically sweep jamming around these 8 frequency points. These User-Defined Bands can be turned on independently of 2.4GHz/5.8GHz, enabling flexible frequency band selection. Furthermore, this anti-drone jammer (ND-BD003) also supports interference coverage of the GNSS frequency band.

ND-BD003 Handheld Anti-Drone System can work as stand-alone device to protect low-altitude areas, as it has been highly integrated with detector. It also can be jointly deployed as mobile and flexible device with other stationary anti-drone systems, due to its portable design, compact structure and quick response.
