FPV Drone Threat Defense
First-Person-View drones represent a new class of threat requiring specialized detection and defeat capabilities
The FPV Threat
FPV drones have transformed modern conflict zones. Low-cost, high-speed, and expendable, they can carry explosives directly to targets with precision guidance from operators kilometers away.
Key Characteristics
- High Speed: FPV drones can reach 200-300 km/h, giving defenders only seconds to respond
- Low Cost: At $300-1000 per unit, they are expendable and deployed in swarms
- Precision: Skilled pilots can guide drones through windows and into vehicles
- Long Range: Extended range systems can operate 10-20km from the pilot
- Analog Signals: Use analog video which is harder to detect than digital protocols
Detection Methods
Analog Video Detection
FPV drones use analog video transmitters operating on 5.8GHz. Our receivers detect these signals for immediate warning.
Control Link Monitoring
ELRS and Crossfire control links operate on 868/915MHz. Detection of these signals indicates FPV activity.
Acoustic Detection
FPV drones produce distinctive acoustic signatures from their high-KV motors. Arrays of microphones can triangulate position.
Visual Tracking
High-speed cameras with AI tracking can follow FPV drones approaching at 100+ km/h.
Countermeasures
Targeted RF Jamming
HighDisrupt the control link to cause loss of pilot control. FPV drones without return-to-home will crash or drift.
Video Link Disruption
HighJam the 5.8GHz video link to blind the pilot, preventing accurate targeting.
GPS Spoofing
MediumFor FPV drones with GPS capability, spoofing can mislead navigation systems.
Kinetic Interceptors
MediumInterceptor drones or missiles can physically destroy incoming FPV threats.
