GUARD While mini and small size drones have
been on the market for some time,
recent technological advances have
dramatically increased these systems’
capabilities, enabling them to be used

• Addresses all Types of Threats protection suite.

The detection layer is based on

compact radar, capable of detecting
and tracking the drones. The radar
triggers the other layers of the protection
suite. As a result of the radar detection,
an Electro-Optical (EO) system that is
cued to the suspected drones for
classification and identification. The
second layer provides the
countermeasures used to disrupt the
target flight. These are activated from
the command and control center based
on inputs from the radar and EO
sensors. Countermeasures include
cueing a jammer to the target or a
weapon mount to physically destroy the
target.

Operational Concept
Drone Guard consists of several COTS sensors, integrated together via a command and control center to provide
an integrated solution for detection, identification, decision making and eventual disruption of hostile drones.

The detection segment is based on

advanced 3D compact radar, capable
of detecting and tracking the drones.
The radar provides the first layer of
detection necessary to activate the
other parts of the protection suite.
The identification segment comprises
of an Electro-Optical (EO) system that is
cued to the detected drones for
classification and identification. The
EO system operates independently on
a dedicated pedestal and is cued to
the radar targets. Detect Identify Decide Disrupt
The Command and Control segment
enables the operator to make informed
decisions based on the detection and

identification layers and to elect to
operate the flight disruption system
The flight disruption segment provide
the typical countermeasure against the
targets. These are activated from the
command and control system based on
inputs from the detection and
identification layers. Countermeasures
include cued jammer to the target

Typical Operational Scenario
The following scenario describes
possible system configuration in a
typical critical site located in urban Jammers installed around
area. The Radar continuously scans and the protected area
detects suspicious objects. After
identification by the operator based on
the EO sensors, the targets are jammed
by the jammer system which is directed
to relevant sector. The benefit of using
this configuration allows multi target
intrusion protection. Radar 360°
