With off-the-shelf unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) on the rise, drone incidents are also increasing. And it’s not just airports and critical national infrastructure that are at risk. Commercial facilities, such as arenas and stadiums are also vulnerable to a wide array of security threats, including invasion of privacy, smuggling and industrial espionage.

To counter this threat Rohde and Schwarz’s R&S ARDRONIS Counter-UAV solution provides reliable drone control uplink signal detection and disrupting capabilities, even under challenging signal scenarios. It can be deployed on a variety of platforms to monitor remote control uplink and drone downlink signals and can detect and locate those at an approximate range of typically 1.5km with up to 7km under optimal conditions.

“R&S ARDRONIS combines leading Rohde & Schwarz sensors to form a reliable, high performance solution for, e.g. securing a predefined airspace against drones,” said Götz Mayser, Director of C-UAV Detection and Counter Solutions, Rohde & Schwarz. “Through repeated involvement in protecting high-profile events and high-ranking VIPS, R&S ARDRONIS has proven to be a valuable asset for security services involved and a future-proof solution.”
