Use of barrage balloons and blimps equipped with conductive tethering ropes and nets as C-UAS kinetic and RF weapons
Optoprofiler LLC will present paper at NDIA 2024 Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference & Exhibition 8/7/2024 - 8/9/2024 at Walter E. Washington Convention Center Washington, DC.
In this paper, we discuss the performance of the balloon-suspended finite-size conductive net as the shield of RF signal using EM diffraction theory. We discuss the case of grounded, RF-energized, and high-voltage-powered nets for neutralizing small and large drones.
