London: Three British companies have jointly created the worlds first drone freezing gun.
The Anti-UAV Defence System (Auds),
which has a range upto 8km, works by covertly
jamming a drones signal, making it unresponsive and deterring them from entering
sensitive areas. The technology passed with
flying colours in March 2015, when the Auds
team took part in French government trials,
with the counter UAV system detecting and
neutralising a variety of fixed and rotary
wing micro, compact and standard UAVs.
Blighter Surveillance Systems, Chess Dynamics and Enterprise Control Systems
joined hands to create this gun in light of the
growing use of drones over the past few years.
Mark Radford, CEO, Blighter Surveillance
Systems, said We formed the team in 2014 as
we were aware of the urgent operational requirement from our customers for an effective
and affordable anti-UAV system.
