Overview
R&S®ARDRONIS is the modular counter-UAS family from Rohde & Schwarz. It detects purely passively, transmitting nothing itself, and detects, tracks, locates and identifies the remote control signals and video downlinks of commercial and modified drones. The family covers Detect, Locate and Effect modules and can be integrated into the larger THORIS multi-sensor counter-drone architecture, for round-the-clock protection of airports, critical infrastructure, military bases and large public events.
Key features
- Passive RF detection: the system transmits nothing itself, allowing covert deployment with minimal electromagnetic interference
- Gapless 400 MHz – 6 GHz coverage, identifying FHSS drone control links
- Choice of 360° omnidirectional or sector antenna coverage, with direction finding built in
- Modular architecture — Detect / Locate Compact / Locate Advanced / Effect — combined as required
- ARDRONIS Effect delivers up to 250 W of active jamming to suppress the uplink control link
- IP65 rated, -32°C to 55°C operating temperature, for permanent outdoor deployment in any weather
- Meets STANAG requirements and follows the SAPIENT open interface protocol, so sensors from several vendors can be integrated
- The ARDRONIS Wi-Fi module targets Wi-Fi-controlled drones and runs standalone or alongside the other modules
Typical applications
- Detecting and countering drone threats around airport perimeters to protect flight safety
- Protecting critical infrastructure — ports, power plants, reservoirs — against drone incursion
- C-UAS protection of military bases and border posts against reconnaissance and attack drones
- Rapid counter-drone cover for large public events, VIP protection and international sporting events
- Drone surveillance and jamming for maritime platforms and offshore installations
