The AUDS complex was developed by companies from Great Britain: Blighter Surveillance Systems, Enterprise Control Systems and Chess Dynamics. They combined three basic technologies in their device: a radar station, an electronic scanning antenna and a radio frequency jammer. First, the Blighter A400 radar detects the approach of the drone, receives its signals and identifies the model. According to building-tech.org/, the radar can operate at any time of the day or night and in all weather conditions.

After detecting a threat, AUDS attaches a Piranha 46 camera with infrared sensors to the chassis to better aim and determine its type, and then hits the drone with powerful radiation that interrupts commands from the control panel – while the pilot sends a trouble message.

The system operator can set the time on the UAV, for example, keep the battery in sight until it dies. The system selects frequencies between 400 MHz and 6 GHz.

“There is a range of frequencies used by all manufacturers. The UAV is targeted with radio radiation so strong that it can only see the signal from our AUDS,” explained Paul Taylor, representative of Enterprise Control Systems.

Features of AUDS:

• detection range – 10 km;
• the minimum target size is 0.01 m²;
• output power – 4 W;
• azimuth coverage – 180° (standard) or 360° (optional);
• elevation angle – 10 ° (M10S antennas) or 20 ° (W20S antennas);
• height adjustment – from -40 ° to +30 °;
• the maximum speed of the camera is 60 degrees per second;
• optical zoom – x30;
• digital zoom – x12;
• The wavelength of the thermal imager is between 3 and 5 μm.
