🔫 What Are Anti-Drone Guns?

Anti-drone guns—also known as drone jammers or directed-energy disruptors—are handheld, rifle-shaped devices designed to disable hostile drones by disrupting their control and navigation systems. These tools are widely used in military operations, critical infrastructure protection, and VIP security scenarios.

🚫 How They Work

Anti-drone guns do not shoot projectiles. Instead, they emit targeted radio frequency (RF) interference or GNSS jamming to interrupt:

• Command & Control (C2): Breaks the link between the drone and its operator
• GPS/GLONASS Signals: Causes the drone to lose position awareness
• Video Downlink: Disrupts the operator’s real-time video feed

Advanced models may include high-power microwave (HPM) or laser targeting systems for precision engagements.

🛠 Features & Capabilities

• Effective range: 500m to 2km (line of sight)
• RF bands: 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, GNSS L1/L2
• Battery life: 2–4 hours
• Targeting: Optical sight, laser pointer, or radar-assisted aiming
• Mounting: Handheld, tripod, or vehicle-based

🎯 Use Cases

• Military checkpoints & forward operating bases
• Convoy defense in drone-active zones
• Critical infrastructure (airports, power stations, communication towers)
• Prison and border zone protection
• VIP and diplomatic security

⚠️ Legal & Operational Considerations

While highly effective, anti-drone guns may be restricted under RF jamming laws in civilian environments. Typically approved only for government, law enforcement, or military use.

Compliance may be required with:

• FCC / ITU RF jamming regulations
• Export control laws (e.g., ITAR, Wassenaar Agreement)
