Perfectjammer has developed a jammers for high-altitude drone that can prevent unmanned aerial attacks and detections .Its competitive advantage is its affordable price comparing to existing solutions that were developed for military applications, while Perfectjammer has been better designed for civilian applications. The company's development team includes electronic warfare (EW) engineers who previously worked for the defense industries, and have developed the Perfectjammer based on advanced military technologies. However, innovative miniaturization technologies and product adjustments to civilian applications enabled lowering its price significantly. You can choose to have the drone land slowly or return
Despite the resemblance to guns, jammers don't literally shoot the drones. The drone wouldn't just drop to the ground. Instead, it should hover in place within an invisible fence created by the jammer. This makes it easier to catch illegal drones.
The use of jammers in various countries
Swiss police were pictured this week in Davos testing anti-drone jammer, which resemble massive machine guns, as part of security preparations for the World Economic Forum. The annual gathering of members of the world's business and political elite has brought more than 3,000 attendees to the skiing resort.
In Davos, police were testing to make sure the equipment was ready and able to take down any drones potentially carrying out covert missions, said Steffen Wicker, managing director at H.P. Marketing & Consulting Wüst, which makes the jamming guns pictured.
US department of Homeland Security (DHS) operates autonomous drones patrolling over the USA-Mexico border, which suffer jamming attacks by border smugglers, mainly the drug cartels," said Gai Mar-Chaim, Senior Partner at the management consulting firm POC. "The DHS gives high priority for lightweight anti-jamming solutions for this challenge, and Perfectjammer is the only commercially available solution that weighs less than 150 gram and consumes power less than 0.75 Watt.
Prepares to launch a drone in a joint base with Iraqi army on the outskirts of Mosul, Iraq. A vehicle-mounted signals jammers provided to the Iraqi security forces by the U.S. have greatly reduced the ISIS drone threat in the battle for West Mosul, according to Iraqi generals.
A vehicle-mounted signals “jammer” provided to the Iraqi security forces by the U.S. have greatly reduced the ISIS drone threat in the battle for West Mosul, according to Iraqi generals.
- Air Force Col. John Dorrian, a spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, would only describe the devices given to the Iraqis as “jammers.”
- Dorrian has previously said that U.S forces advising and training the Iraqis have their own jammers to counter drones.
- An apparently different type of anti-drone weapon spotted in Iraq is Perfectjammer, made by Battelle, which resembles an assault rifle but features a directed energy frequency jammer mounted on the frame.
- It has a range of about 400 yards and works by disrupting the links to the drone controller or GPS device.
There is a growing need for countermeasures to drone threats in both civilian and military environments. Designed by a team skilled in electronic warfare, these jammers offer a cost-effective solution compared to traditional military-grade alternatives by leveraging advanced military technology and innovative miniaturization techniques.
Despite their appearance, drone jammers do not physically knock down drones; instead, they create an invisible barrier that keeps drones hovering in place. This capability simplifies the apprehension of unauthorized drones, enhancing security measures in a variety of scenarios.
It has been observed that multiple countries have deployed anti-drone jammers for various purposes. For example, Swiss police tested anti-drone jammers during the World Economic Forum in Davos to ensure security against potential covert drone activity. Similarly, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security employs lightweight anti-jamming solutions to combat drone smuggling at the U.S.-Mexico border, particularly by drug cartels.
In conflict zones such as Iraq, anti-drone jammers play a vital role in mitigating the threat posed by terrorist groups such as the Islamic State. Vehicle-mounted signal jammers provided by the United States to Iraqi security forces have significantly reduced the threat of Islamic State drones in battles such as those in West Mosul. These jammers disrupt the connection between drones and their controllers or GPS devices, effectively crippling their capabilities.
