The shields antidrón for airports are here to stay in the airport reality around the world in the face of a growing and uncontrollable risk.
Given the recent well-known media casesátics of improper and dangerous use of drones near busy airports in the UK, authorities and companies have begun to work on ways to mitigate that threat.
Yes OK, There are currently several ways to disable these remote use devices, companies have already created specific teamsífics for mainly airport use, but that can be applied without problems to other industrial and government facets.
One of these is the company Indra, which is a supplieríglobal leader of proprietary solutions in specific segmentsíof the Transportation and Defense markets and is one of the few companies in the world that already has a solutionón integral, specíphysically prepared and tested to protect an airport or any other space against drones that fly without authorizationón.
What they created is a smart shield, called ARMS (Anti RPAS Multisensor System), that detects the presence of these aircraft at kilometerómeters away and neutralizes them if they invade the space to be protected.
The compañíhas tried his solutionónot one stepíses in which this type of threat is much moreáIt's common and dangerous than in Europe. The results obtained have made Indra one of the first companies in the world to have closed firm agreements with government clients, after passing highly demanding criteria.
the solutionón is so effective that it can be used in a targeted manner to knock out a single drone, in an interventionón ‘whoúrgica’, or a whole swarm of aircraft, applying measures más aggressive. The system can even activate a cúprotective polishócomplete n.
Protecting an airport is very complex, since the tr cannot be alteredáfico or interfere with aircraft equipment. The ability of the Indra system to modulate the response is therefore key. It can also be integratedás with the control tower systems to cross informationón and detect any object that flies without authorizationón immediately.
Pilots around the world routinely report less serious cases, but that generate great uncertainty regarding the risk potential for an accident that these canían cause in aircraft.
Stopping them, however, is very difficult.ícil, since they measure a few centímeters and fly at low altitude and at high speed. They may also appearás in a surprising way, taking off from any point and leaving very little room for reactionón for airport authorities.
¿Cóhow the ARMS system works?
Indra's ARMS system isá diseñado with flexibility and adaptability in its DNA. It has a range of possible sensors for detection.ón, including radars, cáinfrared maras or radio frequency sensors of various typesístatics and capabilities, who carry out detection tasksón and identify usón.
The operator supervises the entire operationón from your checkpoint and manageá —or leaveá that the system itself reacts automaticallyáethically— disturbance equipmentón, that cut off communicationówith the pilot and saturate the navigation systems.ódevice number, ‘legáearrings’ and preventing him from completing his missionón. You can use, además, tédeception techniquesño o spoofing to distort the self-guiding systems of the device and be able to direct it to the desired safe place.
This shield uses the méall of soft-killing más effective to protect civil environments and neutralize any of the drone models available on the market. It can also be adapted to incorporate elements of hard-killing, that shoot down the aircraft, although these méthey are all más own of the ámilitary field, in which you have to face drones más advanced and potentially más dangerous.
Remember that using a drone can be a lot of fun, but it should always be done with responsibility following current regulations every so oftenís defined by the aero authoritiesálocal utica and civil.
