Rohde & Schwarz has today launched ARDRONIS Wi-Fi, a system for detecting, locating and mitigating Wi-Fi-controlled drones.
Part of the ARDRONIS family of system, ARDRONIS Wi-Fi is designed to automatically detect and classify drones using wireless LAN, providing an approximate direction of the detected signal. The system can intercept the video signal transmitted from the drone to the pilot by some Wi-Fi drones and display it to the ARDRONIS operator. ARDRONIS Wi-Fi is able to identify drones by decoding the transmitted Remote ID, which provides detailed information about the drone, including its location, speed and altitude.
The system’s smart disruption of Wi-Fi control links, which can be triggered in response to detected drone activity, interrupts the connection between a specific pilot and their drone. It offers early warning while the drone is still grounded, making it suitable for security and surveillance applications.
ARDRONIS Wi-Fi can be used as a standalone system or as an option for all ARDRONIS systems. The system also offers different antenna options, including optional Wi-Fi sector antennas, which can be used to gain directional information and enhance detection range.
