Those pesky mini drone is danger to civilian jetliner Now The chinese industry is answering the need to shot those drone. In the future it will have military application as well to neutralized unwanted intrusion and spying
Anti-drone: Industrial solutions flourish
BY
To cope with the growing problems of illegal mass-market drone robberies, many Chinese manufacturers have devoted themselves to this very promising new market segment. Anti-drone solutions, mobile or fixed, ranging from "rifles" of jamming to laser cannons ¹ through various means of surveillance, flourish abundantly in China and at least a hundred products are being evaluated by several organizations governmental and local.
A historic supplier of air
defense systems such as the
HQ-2 ,
HQ-7 ,
HQ-8 and the
HQ-9 among others, the No. 2 Academy of the Chinese aerospace group CASIC s is also set to develop systems to mitigate the danger of drone.
On the basis of a first Hard-kill system called "
Sky Net 1 " (天网 一号), the Chinese missile manufacturer has just proposed an improved version by combining a long-range electronic jammer and a quadrituet launch gun, all accompanied by an optronic turret and mountable on a light utility vehicle pickup type.
The particularity of this new version of Sky Net is its very simplified handling, a single operator is now necessary to control the entire system. During the latest demonstration and evaluation campaign launched by Xia'men City police, the new Sky Net, which has just completed a battery of tests, is the only one among a dozen anti-drone solutions to have managed to catch a drone in flight with a net.
The video broadcast by CASIC on its Weixin account shows that once the "clandestine" drone captured by the net, the whole will be brought back to the ground thanks to a small parachute to avoid the collateral damage caused by the relapse.
Note that the Sky Net 1 anti-drone system has already been chosen and deployed several times to protect the sites during major events, such as the 2010 Asian Games, the 2011 BRICS summit in Sanya, the Beijing Olympics summer of 2014, or the CCTV New Year Gala in Guangzhou in 2016.

In another city in China, Nanjing, the AUDS anti-drone system of the
Nanjing Institute of Electronics Technology Institute(NRIET) has recently been evaluated by the local police chief.
Essentially, this solution relies on the
YLC-48 radar developed by NRIET to detect low-profile objects in motion, both in flight and at sea. This is a S-band, cylindrical, electronically scanned radar. active, able to monitor on 360 ° simultaneously, which allows him to avoid the problems related to data refresh.
The omnidirectional detection means is then supplemented by an electronic scrambling system to ensure the soft-kill of flying or illegally flying drones.
