IAI Drone Guard - anti Drone system

[DavidSling]

Drone Guard System
June 7, 2016 - Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is viewing a steadily increasing demand for its Drone Guard detection and disruption counter UAV system, for both military and civilian applications. The recently unveiled system has already been purchased by several customers for critical asset and personnel protection. Numerous potential customers have already attended dedicated demonstrations of the system versus various drone threats, with more demonstrations anticipated for the coming months.

The use of small drones has increased dramatically over the years, making them a potential threat to critical infrastructures, other aircraft and homeland security (HLS), due to their small size, low speed and low flight altitude. IAI's Subsidiary and Group, ELTA Systems Ltd., is offering specially designed 3-Dimensional (3D) radars and existing Electro-Optical (EO) sensors for detection and identification, as well as dedicated Electronic Attack (EA) jamming systems for disrupting drone flight.

Nissim Hadas, IAI Executive VP and ELTA President said: "We have managed to pack high grade military radar and jamming capabilities into a compact, effective and affordable drone protection system. Since unveiling the Drone Guard system earlier this year we are experiencing steadily growing sales and demand of the system for military, HLS and civilian protection tasks".

About IAI's Drone Guard system: To detect low signature, low-level and low-speed airborne targets, ELTA has adapted to this specific mission its 3D radars, which include the ELM-2026D, ELM-2026B and ELM-2026BF for short (10km), medium (15km) and long (20 km) ranges, respectively, with special drone detection and tracking algorithms, as well as adapting them with EO sensors for visual identification of the target. In order to disrupt the hostile UAV, ELTA has developed advanced adaptive jamming systems which can be used in concert with its detection and identification sensors, or as a continuously operated stand-alone system. The jamming disrupts the drone's flight and can either causes it to return to its point-of-origin (‘Return Home' function) or to shut down and make a crash landing.

The system has been sold to the U.S

ELTA North America Inc., Annapolis Junction, Maryland, has been awarded a $15,553,483 firm-fixed-price letter contract for counter-unmanned aerial systems. Contractor will provide the procurement, delivery, and training of 21 Man Portable Aerial Defense System kits. Production of the kits will be performed in Israel, and delivery/training to continental U.S. locations is expected to be complete by July 28, 2017. This award is the result of a sole-source acquisition. Fiscal 2016 and 2017 research, development, test, and evaluation; and procurement funds in the amount of $7,621,207 are being obligated at the time of award. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, is the contracting activity (FA8730-17-C-0016).

What about stealth drones

Interesting and I love it but what happens when drone is flying in autopilot mode?

It should be combined with automatic sniper pod

that's why I prefer IMI's red sky 2
https://defence.pk/threads/imis-red-sky-2-anti-drone-system.479814/
it jams the drone, and if it can't neutralize it, it shoots a missile toward it.
Probably IAI also took it as a possibility, but I don't know how they intend to shoot it down

thanks ... yes that is indeed a wondefull system but don't you think firing an expensive missile just to shoot down a $500 - $2000 drone is bit too much ? how about attaching an automatic sniper pod or mini machine gun ?

it's a shoulder launch missile, shouldn't cost that much

Interesting system, but I wonder what would happen if there's an explosive strapped to the belly of the drone? It could lead to destruction if the things fall out of sky I guess...

That's why it fall outside the protected zone
