The anti-drone gun giving Ukraine an advantage over Russia

Since the war in Ukraine started, the EDM4S (Electronic Drone Mitigation System) has been a key component in targeting Russian drones.
The anti-drone gun is a point-and-shoot electromagnetic pulse weapon that handles like a standard infantry rifle.
By jamming communication signals it forces drones to either fall, return to base or make an emergency landing.

Back in the stone ages, we had to know the specific frequency each drone operated on. How technology changes in 40 years.

[@FFdo.]

today, you still need to know it, the band or range that is.

[@galenrog]

True, but at that time we used a radio spectrometer to determine the specific frequency controlling the UAV, rather than a band of frequencies. Then a directional antenna would broadcast white noise on that frequency to disrupt the controller. Things evolve. The man pack version today required a trailer load of toys just two generation ago. Mostly, we used the stuff to track and disrupt what are now called antique radio controlled aircraft. Of course, nearly everything I worked with probably belongs in a museum.

[@GrendalTheBeasty]

This is just a consumer grade DJI drone jammer. Consumer DJI drones are mostly unencrypted and use glorified WIFI for control and so are highly susceptible to jamming and potentially even hijacking. Actual military drones use directional radios or lasers pointed upwards at satellites for control. Not only will they ignore signals from the ground, they won't even detect them. Devices like this were developed for use by airport security and similar groups since DJI has a near monopoly on the off the shelf drone market, and so a DJI specific jammer makes sense for preventing John Doe from flying over a stadium or blocking the runway at an airport. Most drone detection systems work the same way, they just watch for the unencrypted info transmitted by DJI consumer drones. Of course, in war, you use whatever tools you can get your hands on. From what I can tell both sides are heavily using consumer grade drones off of amazon as frontline equipment. They are absolutely better than nothing, but it doesn't take a whole lot to defeat them either. But once again, they are relatively cheap and plentiful, so they can be treated as being highly expendable.

[@MoonLiteNite]

On top of this, this just stops active signals. If a drone is programmed to do something, it will do it. With or without comms back to home base. A simple program could get a drone to do a task

[@GrendalTheBeasty]

@@MoonLiteNite Indeed, I have a DJI Mini 3 Pro and if it loses signal for a few seconds, it will will just auto return to where it took off from provided it still has GPS. If it loses that too, then I'm not sure, it may just land where it's at. GPS is hilariously easy to jam, so I suspect a GPS jammer is part of this system.

[@RockapeandRolla]

I’m betting any Ukrainian drones that are directing their patrols will follow that russian drone back to its user (range permitting) and no doubt have a coordinate punched in to their artillery within minutes. Win win either way!

[@GrendalTheBeasty]

@@RockapeandRolla They don't need to follow it. DJI drones openly broadcast their takeoff location and the controller's location too if the controller has GPS. Both sides have had to work around this, I've seen videos of Ukrainian drone operators running around towns in circles while flying their consumer drones to avoid getting hit by Russian artillery, I'm sure the Russians using these are doing the same. Simply put, these drones spy on both where the camera is pointing and also the operator. All of it is broadcast over the open airwaves unencrypted for anyone in range to see. DJI is a very pro mass surveillance company :D

[@RockapeandRolla]

@@GrendalTheBeasty I learn something new every day. I guess with all the ground the Russians are losing at the moment, they don’t have many places to launch from and move about in.

What about using a drone as an anti-drone weapon. This could use a hydrogen filled attachment to lower the weight so it could float and listen for incoming drones. Using three or more you could triangulate on incoming drones. Being high above the battlefield will lower the noise from the ground, and using suitable filters, and spectrum information quite a bit of information could be acquired.

[@Maniac742]

Just detecting drones is almost impossible. They're too small for radar, too cold for heat seeking, and too quiet for sound. The thing about drones no one tells you is that they can do the job of a $10 million dollar aircraft and $2 million worth of pilot training for $1,000 or less. This device that's "giving Ukraine an edge" costs more than 10 drones, but you have to be close and have direct line of sight for it to work. Meanwhile, drones can drop bombs on you from hundreds or even thousands of feet in the air and you'll never even know they were there.

I think altitude is probably an issue as well. It wouldn't work if the plane is to far away, because the intensity of the beam decreases, the further it spreads. Drones fly at lower altitudes.

[@russellhltn1396]

While it does jam GPS and GLONASS, it looks like it's aimed at consumer drones with 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz. It may be less effective against a proper military drone using a different communications band. However, it would need some inertial navigation ability.

[@russellhltn1396]

@Billy I read the description of how it works. It hits the drone with 10watts of power on those 4 bands. That's going to blind most any receiver that uses those bands, but if the drone used (for example) the amateur 440MHz, it may not have any effect. All measure/counter measures are a cat-and-mouse game with constant changes to defeat changing tactics by the enemy. This is no different.

With this using a scrope to hit, the width of the beam can be very narrow. Also, the controller will usually be further away, you only need to have a more powerful signal than them to jam the thing.

[@Tyraeous]

It does not appear to be an EMP. It sounds like just a pinpoint radio signal jammer, relying on the drone using whatever fallback programming it has for when it loses connection with it's operator. Some drones just fail and fall down, some return to home base, others just automatically land. Yes, likely the jamming unit has a relatively short range, good enough for slow moving drones, not really useful against aircraft.

What range does it have

[@francoisviljoen4002]

i wonder what the range is?

[@mts7274]

lmfao... just one week after this video was posted, Russia bombards Kiev with suicide drones. All direct hits. 40% of the city's electric power stations decommissioned. 😂

How's its performance against gerand?

[@EpicThe112]

This is made in Lithuania a NATO member and for the Ukrainians using one on the Zala Kamikaze Drone carries the risk of killing themselves in the process since the Zala is the Russian answer to the Switchblade 300 & 600 which has a Javelin Warhead designed to stop Russian Tanks including the ones equipped with Relikit 4S24 4S23 & Malachite Moscow Military District T-14 & T-15 Armata

I doubt they're using this bulky clumsy short-range niche thing as a field anti-missile defense. They certainly aren't deploying it in squads and equipping it on tanks or vehicles. But it is a way to quietly neutralize recon drones and surveillance devices, to disrupt wireless network and communication hardware. To protect sensitive areas. To invade sensitive areas.

How soon will it be before we see Hunter/Killer Drones produced for aerial combat with enemy Drones? No doubt any Iranian Drones downed will be sent to Israel for evaluation. This tragic war has produced a huge Intelligence Bonus for all those Countries doing such a great job in helping Ukraine.

USA Originallly started the war by building military bases around Russia so Russia basically said no your too close and then the war started, I do not support nether Ukraine or Russia as this is a war but it is the fault of USA (United states)

[@adudu21]

The governments are the ones who are bad, the people in those county's (if there's a war or nuclear explosion) have to suffer even if they did noting which sucks as heck for them, nukes, military AI or such things are too dangerous towards humanity but scientists don't care and do such things, instead for wars what would be better is that the president/person sending orders goes to a big camp (nobody is around and is VERY FAR from normal people and from there it's a 1v1 In that camp, no large weapons allowed such as nuclear nukes and such things

Until they add a device to the drone that once its armed and it looses signal/signal jammed it sets off a 10/30/60 sec timer, or no timer to explode!!
