Securing the Skies: Mitigating Threats From Drones - Detect, Identify and Take Down
SkyShield
360° detection with a 6-mile radius range:
SkyShield detects drones up to 6 miles with its omnidirectional antenna system and programable software defined radios.
Selective Jamming: Selective jamming (smart defense) jams a specific target drone without disrupting others in that range.
SkyShield Mobile
Detection Methodology: Passive detection of radio-frequency signals, zero emissions.
Selective Jamming: Selective jamming (smart defense) jams a specific target drone without disrupting other DRONES.
Detection Range: up to 2 Miles (Omni Antenna, or 3 miles with DF antenna)
Detection angle range: Full 360°
The integration of drones into modern commercial operations has brought new wireless risks and threats, particularly for critical infrastructure and business assets. Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) play a vital role in addressing these challenges. Drones leveraging Wi-Fi, Cellular, and GPS technologies can enable unauthorized surveillance, data theft, and operational disruptions, including interference with communication networks. Understanding these risks and their potential impact on business continuity is essential for designing effective countermeasures.

Wireless Risks and Threats from RF Drones
Surveillance & Reconnaissance
Wi-Fi and Cellular Drones: Drones equipped with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity can be used for unauthorized surveillance, gathering intelligence on sensitive operations, facility layouts, and asset locations. This real-time data can be transmitted to malicious actors, compromising business security and operational integrity.
GPS-Enabled Drones: GPS-equipped drones can map out critical infrastructure, monitor personnel movements, and track high-value assets, providing malicious actors with valuable positioning data to plan disruptions, thefts, or targeted attacks.
Electronic Warfare & Signal Interference
RF Jamming and Spoofing: Drones can be used to jam or spoof RF signals, disrupting critical communication networks businesses rely on for operations and security. Jamming Wi-Fi or cellular signals can cripple real-time communication, while GPS spoofing can misdirect logistics, vehicles, or personnel, leading to operational delays, security breaches, or significant financial losses.
Direct Attack Capabilities
Weaponized Drones: Drones can be modified to carry hazardous payloads, posing a direct physical threat to critical infrastructure and personnel. Wi-Fi and cellular control systems enable remote operation of these drones, making them difficult to detect and intercept before they reach their targets, resulting in potential operational disruptions or safety hazards.
Data Breach & Cybersecurity Risks
Compromised Communication: Drones equipped with RF hacking tools can intercept communications within critical infrastructure or business networks, leading to data breaches that expose sensitive information such as operational plans, confidential data, and asset locations.
Potential Impacts on Soldiers on the Battlefield
Compromised Operational Security
Loss of Tactical Advantage: Drones used for surveillance can compromise the tactical positioning and movements of soldiers, allowing adversaries to anticipate and counter their strategies, reducing their effectiveness in combat.
Disrupted Communications
Coordination Breakdowns: Jamming or interference with Wi-Fi, cellular, and GPS signals can lead to breakdowns in coordination among units, hampering effective command and control and potentially leading to friendly fire or mission failure.
Increased Vulnerability to Attacks
Physical Threats from Weaponized Drones: Soldiers are at a heightened risk of direct attacks from weaponized drones that can strike with little warning, causing casualties, equipment loss, and disruption of operations.
Psychological Impact
Heightened Stress and Confusion: Constant threats from drones, along with disrupted communication and navigation systems, can increase stress and confusion among soldiers, potentially affecting their decision-making and combat effectiveness.
