U.S. Northern Command says 300 drones were defeated at the border since September, but has not explained what defeat means — only a party balloon and a U.S. Customs drone have been publicly identified.
The new wideband antenna on Halka hops frequencies across a broad band to resist jamming, while both drones now navigate by radio beacons without satellite signals — a reminder that counter-drone jamming must cover wide bands and multiple navigation links.
Motorola completed its $1.3 billion acquisition of D-Fend, adding drone detection and cyber-takeover to its mission-critical networks — a takeover option for sensitive sites, alongside detection and jamming.
Shahed drones over Kyiv are now flying with 32-element Kometa antenna arrays, with over 100,000 modules ordered this year. Ukraine says the counter is jamming several satellite bands at once — the EW contest is moving to multi-band suppression.
ESPsoup Beta 0.4 turns a EUR 15-25 ESP32-C5 board into a real-time spectrum and waterfall display in the browser, covering 2.13-2.73 and 4.79-5.99 GHz — cheap handheld RF scanning for drone-signal work.
First deliveries of Poland EUR 3.5 billion SAN counter-drone program will not reach troops until 2027, despite earlier expectations of delivery this year. Manufacturer PGZ insists the program is on schedule.
December1 DroneSensor Providence is an RF scanner covering 600-8,500 MHz that detects FPV drones and feeds target data straight to electronic warfare systems. Watching live FPV video feeds is the same detection capability RF Apex builds into the DW01 handheld detector.
The Geran-8 backpack jammer suppresses FPV drones with 8 channels totalling 400W, running 45-90 minutes on a rechargeable battery at about 15 kg — the portable end of the drone jammer market, the same class as RF Apex JB-8B and JB-12B backpack jammers.
Ericsson ISAC system lets existing 5G networks detect and track low-flying drones that are not even connected to the network, linking base stations into a sensor net that locates targets from reflected radio signals. Commercial pilots start in 2027.
Shield AI 5.3 billion dollar acquisition of Echodyne adds the MESA radar — already selected by the Pentagon for counter-drone supply — to its autonomous aircraft platform. Echodyne radars are now deployed in more than 40 countries.
Amazon asked Westborough planners to withdraw its Prime Air delivery-station application without prejudice on October 30, and the building commissioner withdrew a key ruling — any revised plan must go through zoning review again.
Taiwan defence ministry fined Tron Future about NT$140 million over undelivered counter-drone systems, but the deeper problem is pricing: tenders demand 6 km detection and 4 km jamming at budgets no capable supplier will accept.
LakeShark turns an ESP32-P4 board into a pocket-sized RF scanner that computes FFT on-device and shows a waterfall on its touchscreen — no PC needed. Handheld spectrum scanning keeps moving toward standalone devices.
VMA Radio Lab can now run several SDRs in parallel, each with its own tuner — one unit can do wideband scanning of the 950-2,150 MHz satellite IF band while others handle DVB-T/T2, DAB and analogue TV.
A prototype base station using millimetre-wave and terahertz bands, with ten times the bandwidth of 5G, lets base stations and terminals collect and process data themselves — and act as distributed sensors.
French counter-drone startup Alta Ares is the only supplier selected across fixed, deployable and mobile air-defence categories, and is scaling production toward more than 1,000 interceptor missiles a month by 2027.
Ondas man-portable Ranger detects and defeats drones without fixed infrastructure, while its Iron Drone Raider intercepts targets autonomously — including drones that use no active RF link or autonomous navigation.
A drone incident involving United Airlines flight UA1871 — and what it shows about the need for drone detection around airports.
Detection, jamming and spoofing combined in one integrated counter-UAS system — where integrated air defence against drones is heading.
A single drone sighting paralyzed Lanzarote Airport, disrupting over 300 flights — the case for permanent airport drone detection.
Phantom Gen 2 arrives as a new standard for drone Remote ID testing and simulation.
Doha — Qatar-based news network Al Jazeera issued a scathing condemnation after one of its journalists was killed in an Israeli drone strike.
The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine released its monthly report, stating that civilian casualties had increased significantly, with short-range drones the leading cause.
A series of incidents involving illegal drone flights in various regions, posing a serious threat to public safety and aviation operations — prosecutors promote the use of technology for good.
Security team deploys new 8-band “drone-killer” rifle in first public take down.
The handheld drone detection and positioning device, designed for grassroots security needs, has been deployed for operational use.
Four explosive-laden drones launched by the Houthis in Yemen were shot down by Israeli air defenses near the Red Sea resort city of Eilat.
Gallium Nitride (GaN) chips are rapidly becoming the go-to technology in drone jammers — exceptional electrical and thermal properties.
Incidents occur amid heightened concerns over Russian violations of EU airspace. At Copenhagen Airport, the entire facility was cordoned off.
A cargo ship affiliated with Israel was struck by drones and cruise missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels near the Mandeb Strait.
The IDF announced it successfully intercepted a drone attempting to smuggle weapons from Egypt into Israel.
Lawyer calls tactic unconstitutional, threatens litigation if practice continues. Motorists at three busy intersections were unaware they were being watched by drones.
Not every drone jammer fits ever…
