Innovation and development trend of drone countermeasure technology from the air show

With the rapid development and popularization of drone technology, drones are increasingly used in military, civilian, commercial and other fields. However, the security threats brought by drones are also becoming increasingly prominent, such as privacy infringement, interference with aviation order, carrying dangerous goods, etc. Against this background, anti-drone technology came into being and quickly rose to become an important part of the high-tech field. In recent years, from various air shows, we can clearly see the innovation and development trend of drone countermeasure technology.

The innovative highlight of drone countermeasure technology

1. Systematization of integrated detection and defense solutions

In recent air shows, drone countermeasure technology has shown systematic and integrated characteristics. For example, the "Sky Dome" integrated anti-drone combat system launched by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation integrates multiple detection methods such as radar, optoelectronics, and electronic detection, as well as multiple interception weapons such as laser, microwave, electronic interference, navigation deception, anti-aircraft guns, and air defense missiles to form a complete combat system. This systematic design has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of anti-drone, and can deal with a variety of threats including small rotors, small and medium-sized fixed wings, and reconnaissance and strike drones.

2. The emergence of single-soldier portable anti-UAV systems

Another eye-catching innovation is the emergence of single-soldier portable anti-UAV systems. For example, the "Blue Guard No. 1" independently developed by Chaoyang Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is the world's first single-soldier anti-UAV system, filling the gap in such equipment on the market. This product has the characteristics of light weight, small size, good portability, and high cost performance. It can effectively detect, track and destroy enemy drones and respond to threats from various drones such as reconnaissance, attack, and suicide drones.

3. Application of new countermeasures

A variety of new anti-UAV means were also displayed at the air show. As an emerging anti-UAV technology, laser weapons have attracted widespread attention due to their advantages such as fast light emission, high precision and low cost. For example, the new LW-60 laser defense weapon system exhibited by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation has a hard kill range of no less than 6 kilometers for UAVs and a jamming or blinding range of no less than 10 kilometers for optoelectronic equipment, which has greatly improved its combat radius. In addition, high-power microwave weapons have also attracted much attention, such as the Hurricane 3000 and Hurricane 2000 systems, which destroy the electronic components inside the UAV by directional release of high-energy electromagnetic wave radiation and have the ability to destroy multiple targets at once.

The application areas of drone countermeasure technology will continue to expand. In the military field, anti-drone systems will become an important means of protecting important facilities and people; in the public security field, anti-drone systems can be used to monitor and prevent safety hazards caused by drones; in the civil aviation field, anti-drone systems can be used to protect important areas such as airports from drone interference. In the future, with the popularization of drone technology and the expansion of its application areas, the market demand for anti-drone systems will further increase.  From the air show, we can clearly see that drone countermeasures technology is constantly innovating and developing, showing significant trends such as systematization, comprehensiveness, and intelligence. With the popularization of drone technology and the expansion of application fields, the market demand for anti-drone systems will continue to increase. In the future, anti-drone technology will play its unique role and value in more fields and make greater contributions to national security and stability.
