Did you know that the drone market is expected to enjoy a revenue of 12.6 billion USD in 2025? That’s right. With more than 2.6 million units sold, drones are more popular than ever and are used by:
i.Courier companies
ii.Medicine delivery companies
iii. Survey companies
iv.Military organizations
However, this widespread use of drones has led to instances of misuse by certain agencies and parties. Some cases include but not limited to:
i.Carrying out illegal surveillance of secure facilities
ii.Causing property damage to certain facilities
iii. Transporting banned substances
So, if you’re worried about facing similar situations yourself, you can utilize our C-UAS systems. They can protect your facilities by detecting, tracking, and jamming unauthorized drones.
But how exactly can you choose the best C-UAS technology? That’s what we’ve spoken about below.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing C-UAS Technology
You should consider the following parameters to choose the best counter unmanned aircraft systems:
Detection & Tracking Capabilities
An effective anti-drone or C-UAS system should be able to accurately detect and track unauthorized drones flying around in your airspace in real time.
An advanced anti-drone system is often equipped with active radar or Radio Frequency (RF) detector to detect and monitor invading drones with a long distance continuously in all weather conditions.
It should also have a high-definition tracking camera that can maintain accurate surveillance of drone flight trajectories for further analysis and effective monitoring, such as ND-BC011 Anti-Drone Tracking Camera.
We would also recommend checking for the presence of target detection algorithms that can distinguish between drones and other objects like birds.
You can find all these features in our ND-BU002 High-End Anti-Drone System.
This anti-drone system can help you monitor the key low-altitude areas rigorously and detect invading drones at long distances in seconds. What is remarkable is that this C-UAS system has an “Unattended Mode”, which is able to automatically detect and monitor the preset area, greatly reducing the operational work and improving the accuracy.
Identification & Classification
There are many different types of C-UAS systems available in the market today. So how do you choose the right one? You consider your purposes, application scenarios, the type of drones, and its capabilities.
For example, you can use the ND-BU002 High-End Anti-Drone System for long-range detection and neutralization for robust protection.
This particular anti-drone system has advanced features like a 3D pulse doppler radar. Its detection capabilities allow it to accurately track drones both horizontally and vertically. Further, the system’s tracking camera has both visible-light and thermal-imaging tracking modes, which can achieve 24-hour continuous identification of target drones.
You can also use the ND-BU005 Advanced Passive Anti-Drone System for more covert detection.
This anti-drone system employes RF detector, also known as passive radar, which does not emit electromagnetic waves and can detect invading drones without notice or interference. What’s more, this system can position the drone controller and monitor the controller’s movements.
Mitigation & Neutralization Methods
We recommend checking how the counter unmanned aircraft systems you invest in deal with drone threats. For example, our ND-BO004 Omnidirectional Anti-Drone Jammer can make unauthorized drones forcibly land or return to their take-off points with the help of electromagnetic waves.
These waves can interfere with both GPS signals and communication signals of the unauthorized drones. This anti-drone jammer offers multiple frequency interference, covering the vast majority of drones on the market. Unlike traditional jammers, this jammer provides 360-degree coverage, improving the short-range protection effect.
Portability & Deployment
Finally, you should consider whether it can be easily transported from place to place and deployed quickly when needed. You can consider using our ND-BD005 High-End Handheld Anti-Drone System for operation scenarios requiring high maneuverability and flexibility, such as police patrol and multi-site protection.
It has many advanced features like long-range detection, precise countermeasure by jamming both navigation and communication signals, and highly-integrated intelligent control for easy use. You can adopt this C-UAS system to neutralize the new-age drones run by 5G and 4G.
This C-UAS system is also lightweight, so it can be transported, carried and deployed easily by just one operator. It also can be used in conjunction with our other anti-drone products, which means it can be deployed in a hassle-free manner.
Scalability and Integration
All the anti-drone devices of our C-UAS systems, such as active radar, RF detector, directional jammer, omnidirectional jammer, GPS spoofer and tracking camera, are highly integrated and operate collaboratively under unified control of our C2 (Command and Control) Software, which significantly improves the efficiency of anti-drone missions.
In addition, our C-UAS systems can also be used with other anti-drone systems or standalone products. For example, our ND-BD005 High-End Handheld Anti-Drone System has features like multiple device networking and support for the backend and platform.
Training & Technical Support
You don’t have to worry about how to use our C-UAS systems. That’s because we will provide the necessary amount of training via training courses or field tests for your personnel, so you can use them effectively.
We will also help you with the installation and deployment of these products, after-sales services and maintenance as well. Apart from that, we will also offer on-site and remote technical support as and when required.
Real-World Use Cases for Effective C-UAS Implementation
Realistically speaking, you can use our C-UAS systems in the following situations:
Protecting Important People or VIPs
It is no secret that Heads of States and other important personnel are under drone threats due to their prominence. And nowadays, people use drones to film their journey, or shoot projectiles at their vehicles or themselves with malicious intent.
Alternatively, they can use drones to jam electronic or radio communication. You can use our counter unmanned aircraft systems to neutralize this threat.
We would recommend choosing our ND-BO004 Omnidirectional Anti-Drone Jammer, since it can block the signals of drones from multiple directions for all-round protection.
Airport Perimeter Security
Airports are frequently under threat from drones as they are highly sensitive environments, since they are used by civilians and military personnel. For example, as per records by the FAA, as many as 200 drones were spotted as of March 2024.
This shows that the number is only set to increase in the coming years. You can prevent this with the help of our C-UAS Systems. We would recommend our ND-BU002 High-End Anti-Drone System as stationary C-UAS solution and ND-BD005 High-End Handheld Anti-Drone System as portable C-UAS solution for such scenarios.
To Boost Police Efforts
Police personnel can use C-UAS technology to protect the privacy and security of their police precincts. They can also use this technology to keep an eye on drones used in public events like large gatherings, sporting events or concerts.
Additionally, they can also keep their prisons safe. For instance, prisons in Georgia demanded an increase in the use of C-UAS technology to prevent illegal substances from being flown in.
Conclusion & Final Recommendations
C-UAS Systems can thus be used for multiple purposes and application scenarios, like guarding airports, protecting VIPs, boosting and enhancing police’s efforts. So you should determine your purpose and operation requirements before you choose from our diverse anti-drone systems.
