Rogue Drones Disrupt Firefighting: How Advanced Counter-Drone Tech Can Help
Los Angeles officials are confronting the growing threat of rogue drones interfering with wildfire response efforts, prompting a closer look at advanced counter-drone solutions to prevent future disruptions. To understand the challenges posed by unauthorized drone activity — and the technology available to mitigate these threats — Security Info Watch consulted with D-Fend Solutions, a pioneer in radio frequency (RF) cyber-based, non-kinetic counter-drone technology.
Maritime Defense Services Have Urgent Need
As traditional methods have proven sub-optimal to counter drone threats to their fleets, Navies now race to find viable maritime C-UAS solutions.
New-generation counter-drone technology, based on RF-cyber takeover, which has been specifically tailored, could also overcome the hurdles of countering the increasing threat posed by commercial-off-the-shelf and do-it-yourself drones in the maritime setting. The ability to detect and mitigate, with full 360° coverage, these drones across all maritime environments, whether deployed on a small vessel or scaled up for larger platforms, with a compact and ruggedized system would be an addition in a layered defense at sea.?

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT >>
Downlink-only Capability
Because uplink communications from the remote control to the drone are quite often inaccessible to C-UAS systems in real life situations, the ability for C-UAS systems to operate in “downlink-only” scenarios, is a must-have mission-critical capability. The means to contend with this challenge is built into D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir system.?
?
Unfortunately, this often-overlooked requirement can be missed during evaluations of RF cyber-C-UAS systems. When evaluating RF Cyber-Takeover Counter-UAS, it's important that system testing is valid for real-world scenarios because, in real life, the pilot and remote control are often far afield, obscured behind buildings or natural obstacles.?
Contributing to industry knowledge on the topic, D-Fend recently published a quick explainer video on how to test for downlink-only capability, helping testers to evaluate the real-world performance of RF Cyber-Takeover C-UAS.
