We've seen these used by security teams for large-scale events like air shows or VIP motorcades, where the buyer's custmer actually needs to stop a drone from getting within a kilometer—basically, the system gives them a 10km bubble with the pulse Doppler radar catching anything moving slower than 1m/s, which is your slow quadcopter or fixed-wing.
What it does is combine that X-band scanning, running form 9GHz to 10.2GHz, with directed energy and jamming so you can either force a landing or trigger return-to-home, and the radar handles over 200 tracks simultaneously, though the blind zone up to 150m means you'll want a secondary close-range sensor for the last bit.
radar unit itself comes in at under 990mm by 450mm by 650mm—roughly the size of a large suitcase—so it mounts on a truck platform without needing a crane, and we usually have stock but confirm lead time if you're outside Asia because teh electronics module can be a custom fit for specific chassis.
One thing you'll find is that the directed energy countermeasure isn't for every scenario—it's not great against swarms of tiny racing drones because the beam requires a decent dwell time, but the spoofing functionality works pretty well in most cases for single-threat protection.
Also, the scanning method mixes mechanicla azimuth with phase-based pitch, which gives it tighter tolerance than some fixed-array systems for drone tracking, and the 1m/s minimum speed picks up those hovering DJI Phantom 4s that slower radar might miss.
The radar can detect targets moving as slow as 1 m/s, so even hovering drones are trackable. There's no minimum altitude spec, but the blind zone is 150m — anything inside that radius won't be detected.
We can share internal test reports showing effective disruption ranges and power levels, but there isn't a universal certification body for directed energy systems. We also offer a live demo if you want to see it in action.
Standard lead time is around 8-12 weeks after order confirmation, depending on integration with your vehicle platform. We can rush it to 6 weeks if needed, but that may affect the MOQ.
Yes, it's built with network integration and centralized control in mind. The software can interface with most C2 systems via standard protocols, and we can tailor the API if your setup is custom.
The radar unit comes in a rugged housing rated for mobile deployment, and we include a shock-absorbing mount and weatherproof cover. For long hauls, we recommend a hard transit case — we can supply one as an add-on.
