Countering Hostile Drone Threats

Strategies and Technologies for Modern Drone Defense Security

Sample Base Perimeter Drone Defense

Layered Protection Against Hostile FPV Drones

🧱 Layered Base Perimeter Defense Strategy

1. Outer Detection Zone (~1–2 km)

  • 📡 Passive RF Sensors (SDR + Direction Finding)
    Detect C2 links from FPV controllers (2.4/5.8 GHz)
    Geolocate both drone and pilot
  • 🔊 Acoustic Sensors
    Triangulate drone audio signatures
    Useful in low-visibility or silent sectors
  • 🛰️ EO/IR Panoramic Cameras
    Passive visual/thermal detection in wide-area scanning

2. Middle Engagement Zone (~500 m – 1 km)

  • 🌀 3D Radar (Short-Range C-UAS Radar)
    Tracks low-altitude, high-speed FPV drones
    Doppler radar filters out birds/insects
  • 🎯 AI-Based Object Classification
    Visual confirmation using ML-trained models (optical/IR feeds)

3. Inner Kill Zone (~0–500 m)

  • 🚫 Anti-Drone Jammers (RF + GNSS)
    Disable C2 or autonomous navigation
    Trigger return-to-home, hover, or crash
  • 🔫 Anti-Drone Guns
    Man-portable or vehicle-mounted jammers
  • 🪖 Counter-Drone Interceptor Drones
    Kamikaze or net-equipped defenders
  • 🛡️ Physical Barriers
    Nets, fencing, overhead mesh in key areas

🔄 Integrated Command Layer

  • 📊 Unified Dashboard
    Sensor fusion from radar, RF, EO/IR, acoustic, and jammers
  • 🧠 AI Threat Prioritization
    Distinguish between commercial, loitering, FPV kamikaze drones
  • 📍 Real-Time Map & Alerting
    Tactical response guidance and response logs
