Today's warfighters are under constant surveillance. Drones track their every move, reporting their findings to adversaries through high-resolution images and videos — often without anyone being aware of their presence. While the threat of drones on the battlefield is not new, the past few years have seen significant changes in the drone threat, exacerbated by conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are being deployed on a mass scale, capable of flying at higher altitudes for longer durations while carrying more dangerous payloads. These systems have multiple mission capabilities, from providing target information for artillery missions through Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) to delivering explosives with kinetic effects. And this is just the beginning. The threat posed by drones will continue to grow, making the development and deployment of counter-drone technologies that can identify, track, and mitigate these systems crucial.
At present, a single reconnaissance device is far from enough to meet the needs of UAV reconnaissance. Drones are continuously upgrading in terms of anti-jamming and evasion of countermeasures. Richard Jodano, Project Director at the Defense Strategy Institute of the U.S. Department of Defense, stated that the development of anti-drone technology has become a key task for the Department of Defense. The institute will hold an Anti-Drone and Integrated Protection Summit in Huntsville, Alabama, on November 5th and 6th. Through projects such as "Replicator," the Department of Defense has received a substantial amount of investment, but some believe that the investment in anti-drone technology is still insufficient.
Current individual reconnaissance equipment can no longer meet the requirements for UAV detection. UAVs are continuously upgrading their capabilities to resist jamming and evade countermeasures. Richard Jodano, the project director at the Defense Strategy Institute of the U.S. Department of Defense, has indicated that the development of anti-drone technology has become a focal point for the Department. The institute is scheduled to convene an Anti-Drone and Integrated Protection Summit in Huntsville, Alabama, on November 5th and 6th. Through initiatives like the "Replicator" project, the Department of Defense has secured significant investment; however, there are opinions suggesting that the investment in anti-drone technologies is not yet adequate.
In response to the current severe situation of anti-drone measures, we consulted with Yeston, the person in charge from MYT Technology in China. "Joint detection equipment on such a large scale costs much more than the means of acquiring drones, so for our users, what matters more is how to ensure safety at the lowest cost, which is crucial," He said.
Pigeot said: "Drones were once thought to attack bases, but now they are considered to attack anyone." Flexibility has become a top priority. Stahl said that anti-drone systems must offer various configurations and deployments. For example, backpack-style anti-drone tools provide a protective shield for soldiers, while solutions containing various sensors can be installed on vehicles to protect convoys. SAIC Army Business Group Senior Vice President Greg Fortier said: "In vehicles, you can equip radar, cameras, or some electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) capabilities, while another vehicle can use the first vehicle as a complementary solution, launching laser-guided munitions to shoot down drones. The laser can come from the vehicle itself, support helicopters, or ground troops to hit the target as quickly as possible, and the common point of all these is a single command and control software."
In response to diverse application scenarios and cost-saving methods, MYT Technology has developed a device specifically for warning infantry squads about drone attacks during combat. Yeston introduced, "Our product first considers the cost issue for users, then its portability, and finally, it can help the squad detect drones in time during their mission."
According to the reporter's understanding, this product is named DR400 and comes in three types: DR400-A, DR400-B, and DR400-C. Designed for different scenarios, each model uses different specifications. This device is portable and has the capability to detect the direction of drones. Preliminary tests have shown that it can detect targets more than 2 kilometers away and provide specific directions of the drones, which facilitates the team's concealment and early prevention. Moreover, the device also has a team communication function. Once one team member's device receives an alarm, it quickly conveys the message to everyone in the group through communication equipment, allowing for a faster response to drones.
It is reported that due to its outstanding design concept and performance, although this product has not yet been officially launched, it has already gained the recognition of the majority of customers, and the order volume is growing rapidly.
