Tie it to a ballistic computer, a targeting system, and a .50 cal plus automated gun that can move incredibly fast. Basically make the Expanse "PDF" systems. Add to every vehicle. Profit. Not sure how good these would be at actually giving targeting data for a ballistic lock. People forget seeing isn't enough for radar.

[@joelobryan1212]

We had portable cw doppler radars to protect GLCM missile deployment dispersed site locations in 1983-1987. US Army P2 units used these also to help defend their missile battery dispersed hide locations in the event of a war with the Warsaw Pact. The radar could detect approaching personnel to about 1000 meters in open terrain (across farm fields where we were in tree covered forested areas. That was more than enough warn then to ID and engage as necessary. During training missions, we had red opfor forces that would attempt to recon and then simulate ground attacks. Opfor used a simple counter measure of an AM radio tuned to static, so when the main beam of the side to side rotating radar would hit them, the radio would get noisy in the earpiece, so they'd freeze. no doppler velocity and thus no detection. They could use this creep-freeze tactic to slowly approach if they were very careful. So doppler radars can be defeated with good tactics and some low tech kit. Slower flying Aircraft can use beaming tactics to defeat Doppler AI radars as well, well demonstrated many times.

EXCELLENT COVERAGE LEWIS! As someone from the military surveillance radar field I have been watching Blighter (and ealier Plextek) for many years. Unfortunately i never had to answer a requirement that would have needed them. You may be interested in the company called Aveillant which also has very interesting (but different) technology also with non-rotating antennas. They are also well worth checking out. Thales bought them a few years ago, because they also offer something quite unique. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

The last time I had a chat with a radar engineer was forty years ago and I was impressed with the way clutter was suppressed then, but this stuff is of a different order. You have put a hell of a lot of research into this very comprehensive and absorbing video. Thanks for your upload and time you must have put into it. As an aside, your mention of F1 telemetry reminded me of when I did some work in that part of the country. I was a subcontractor for Pacific Racing based in Thetford, and set up a radio system to provide telemetry for the Magneti Marelli equipment. Interesting stuff, and cutting edge at the time, but there again that was thirty years ago.

Excellent content. 👍 Many of these Radars are only 2D, but that is typical for search Radar systems. Going back to the early days of military Radar, it was quite standard to have a search Radar which provided detection, azimuth, and range as well as IFF stimulus, and then a second tracking Radar for more. Interesting targets would be interrogated by a secondary "height-finder" Radar to get the elevation and a 2nd source to verify the range, as well as to provide resistance to countermeasures. The Height-Finder would be rotated to the detected azimuth where it would do vertical sweeps to range the target. Being able to use phased arrays for azimuth and elevation is powerful indeed.

[@insoleandlaces]

Think they were called nodding dogs

[@Subgunman]

Sounds a lot like the Pave Paws system used by the USA to monitor their borders against enemy aircraft and ships. They use phase arrays that scan electronically today moving away from the older relay activated arrays. Now this brought about issues with the USA 70 cm band which share the same frequencies. There are areas where they asked 70cm repeater operators to cease operations within a set mileage from the radar site to eliminate interference to the electronically controlled phase array antennas. So far they have not developed computers powerful enough to eliminate ham radio interference from the arrays.

[@uploadJ]

The US cold war system called SAGE used both the search and height finders at numerous SAGE RADAR sites ...

[@joeblow5214]

The issue with target discrimination is if you are trying to determine animal or human 2D radar isn't enough you need that secondary VID using IR/EO sensors. Radar can only see movement and speed and make a guess on what it is based on RCS and that data. Speed gate can limit false returns from birds, and other moving clutter, but moving slower then that don't get seen.

I've seen these in specific locations pointed in a particular direction. I had no idea exactly what they were until now. I just know they looked a lot like the same concept as a shotgun microphone to detect certain threats. I've always wondered why they don't just use a 1000 watt glorified WiFi router with beam forming on steroids to track and fry the transceiver on consumer grade drones. In theory, as long as you get the frequency just right, and you can focus enough power with pin point accuracy, you can melt the drone's antenna or the pre-amp in the receiver. It would be a last resort effort, because you're firing a beam of high power interference off into the horizon.

[@Mike-H_UK]

I'm surprised that the three helical antennas (log periodic?) for countermeasures are not enclosed in a radome because it is easy to identify what frequency range they are targeting from their dimensions. Perhaps they are not expecting most illegal operators to modify the drone's communication system to try and defeat them... UPDATE - they probably don't need to hide the inhibitor frequencies because they are well known and publicised: 433MHz, 915MHz, 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz and GNSS.

[@TLK22]

I build drones and can confirm that most drones use 915MHz for control, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz for control and/or video.

​@@CheapSushiAgree, passive radars are wery interesting. Esp now days when there are strong signals all ower the spectar.

Passive RF drone detection is also a big field that you might find interesting. It's an RF silent system, much smaller and more discrete; so much harder to detect/notice. (Source, I work on one as an engineer at LiveLink Aerospace in the UK! #notasalesperson)

[@AldoSchmedack]

Curious question, but what if someone uses a frequency that isn't expected to control the drone? Aka out of band? Drones can be dangerous at major gatherings and near airports and military sites. They need protected! You do a good service!

[@DrGreenGiant]

@@AldoSchmedack our RF detection stuff wouldn't see it unless it was operating in a band we're listening to. We have other sensors that are agnostic to RF that would though. If drones did start becoming popular in a new band it's quite easy to add it to the list. We may need new antennas though to get any decent range depending on the frequency.

[@Subgunman]

Interesting! I picked up on a radar detector developed for the military use in Europe, probably surplus from the Bosnian war from what I have determined. It consisted of a handheld device resembling a small handheld police radar with a pair of rechargeable batteries and a simple earphone. I tested this against a Ka band police radar that I brought with me from the states. The unit is quite sensitive even the pulsed mode instant on technology. In general it would alert the user of the presence of antipersonnel radar. I wonder if these systems can be neutralized by radar seeking guided misses?

CUAS guy here Blighter latest radar is dated (my opinion) you (American companies & allies anyway) can buy civillian available 3D AESA radar with 100+ degree horizontal scan and 75+ degree vertical scan capable of reaching 8+km for drones but be prepared to pay somewhere around 150k for a single unit. Smaller units capable of 800-1000M mini drones around somewhere around 75k. They also have higher angular accuracy than even the new blighter system. Of course, this is just for the radars, and not for any C&C Software or intervention & tracking systems. The largest difference is the coverage area is in the 3D Space and angular accuracy, and not just slices of the sky. Im being a bit ambiguous on purpose. Really freaking cool stuff. I have some of these units and they are absolutely astonishingly good. Radar is amazing. Smaller ground based radars are available also, which are fantastic for critical infrastructure, or other security needs. (

@@RingwayManchesterMentour Pilot’s channel will have you accidentally ending up an aviation geek. Highly recommend it. Basically during an instrument landing system approach, the pilot tries to stay between two vertical, and two horizontal beams, this allows them to see that they’re on the correct glide slope and centred on the runaway… There’s a a slight issue that can lead to a false reading if the pilot tries to capture the slope when they’re coming in too high, above the upper horizontal beam. Their altimeter, or ATC’s radar should help them work this out, but sometimes it gets missed. Having more automated ways to alert ATC staff to warn pilots that they’re coming in high, low, or off centre during low visibility would definitely be useful.

Good video! , i wonder how the military drone industry will try to counter these kind of jammer systems . Could optical links be a viable candidate? Either via a laser beam modem link or using a thin optical fiber . The first could be used in direct visual contact flight and The second in stationary decent / acent applications . Like a, surviliens drone used as a high camera tripod . You might not want to waste the optical fiber for one flight So reeling it up again when the Drone lands might be useful. I guess in a one way use like I E D application with a larger Drone it could carry its own Fiber reel, but in a go out come back scenario the fiber would probably snag in the terrain and would not be retrieveble , leaving the option For going back reeling out more cabel / land at safe spot ad get picked up there. When it comes to laser based systems that destroy cameras on the drone , laser proof protective lenses Could possibly be used. The systems that use laser to melt the drones or fire projectiles on them there may be hard to find counter measures that work. The only way is probably To minimize radar visibility. radar absorbing paint and /or radar scattering shapes?
