Shields antidrone 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 cases 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 equipment 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 world-leading provider of proprietary solutions in specific segments of the Transportation and Defense markets and is one of the few companies in the world that already has a comprehensive solution, specifically prepared and tested to protect an airport or any other space against drones flying without authorization.
What they created is a smart shield, called ARMS (Anti RPAS Multisensor System), that detects the presence of these aircraft from kilometers away and neutralizes them if they invade the space to be protected.
The company has tested its solution in countries where this type of threat is much more 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 solution is so effective that it can be used in a targeted way to take a single drone out of action, in a 'surgical' intervention, or a whole swarm of aircraft, applying more aggressive measures. The system can even activate a complete protection dome.
Protecting an airport is very complex, since traffic cannot be altered or interfere with aircraft equipment. The ability of the Indra system to modulate the response is therefore key. It can also be integrated with control tower systems to cross information and detect any object that flies without authorization immediately..
Pilots around the world routinely report less serious cases, but that generate great uncertainty regarding the risk potential for an accident what these could cause to aircraft.
Stopping them is, however, very difficult., since they can measure a few centimeters and fly at low altitude and at high speed. They can also appear unexpectedly., taking off from any point and leaving very little room for reaction for the airport authorities.
¿Cómo funciona el sistema ARMS?
Indra's ARMS system is designed with flexibility and adaptability in its DNA. It has a range of possible sensors for detection, including radars, infrared cameras or radio frequency sensors of various characteristics and capacities, that carry out detection and identification tasks.
El operador supervisa toda la operación desde su puesto de control y gestionará —o dejará que el propio sistema reaccione automáticamente— los equipos de perturbación, that cut off communication with the pilot and saturate the device's navigation systems, ‘cegándolo’ e impidiendo que complete su misión. You can use, what's more, deception techniques or 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 methods of soft-killing most 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 methods are more typical of the military field, in which you have to face more advanced and potentially more dangerous drones.
Remember that using a drone can be a lot of fun, but it should always be done with responsibility following current regulations of each country defined by the local aeronautical and civil authorities.
