The system is designed to automatically detect and classify drones using wireless LAN signals and indicate the approximate direction of the source. It can also intercept and display video signals transmitted from certain Wi-Fi-controlled drones to their operators.
ARDRONIS Wi-Fi is able to identify drones by decoding their Remote ID, which includes data such as location, speed and altitude. This provides operators with detailed information about detected drones in real time.
A key function of the system is its ability to interrupt the connection between a specific drone and its pilot through targeted disruption of the control link. This measure does not interfere with other drones or wireless signals.
The system can also issue early alerts when a drone is still on the ground, supporting preventive action. It is available as a standalone solution or as an option integrated into existing ARDRONIS systems.
ARDRONIS Wi-Fi supports various antenna configurations, including optional Wi-Fi sector antennas that improve directional accuracy and detection range. These features allow for flexible deployment in different operational scenarios.
“ARDRONIS Wi-Fi is a game-changer in the field of drone detection and mitigation,” said Anne Stephan, Vice President Monitoring & Analytics, Rohde & Schwarz. “This system offers a robust and intuitive solution for the detection, localization, and neutralization of Wi-Fi-controlled drones, thanks to its cutting-edge features and user-centric design, making it a vital asset for organizations focused on security and surveillance.”
