Improving National Security with Drone Countermeasures

C-UAS solutions may be classified into two categories: kinetic or non-kinetic. Examples of such solutions include radar detection, radio frequency jamming, cyber takeover systems, and the use of lasers or nets. In combination, these C-UAS technologies work together to help security teams detect, monitor, and counter unauthorized drones for airspace safety.

Singapore’s dense urban environment means we experience severe radio spectrum congestion. Commercially available C-UAS tools in the market may therefore face a high volume of false detections, rendering them ineffective. Therefore, HTX’s Robotics, Automation, and Unmanned Systems (RAUS) Centre of Expertise has been specifically designing and developing various advanced C-UAS capabilities to tackle this challenge.

Examples of C-UAS solutions in development by HTX include:

• Rapid Deployable C-UAS System (RDS) – A portable, lightweight, autonomous, and low-cost platform that integrates multiple detection sensors with smart countermeasures. This system can be easily set up for temporary or permanent installations and can be used individually or networked with other systems on-site. It also features the most advanced radar with urban de-cluttering functionalities; a drone detection, identification, and tracking system; as well as drone jamming capabilities.

• GPS-independent Drone Hunter – Developed to address challenges posed by GPS spoofing and jamming in warzones around the world. As the first of its kind in the world, this high-speed interceptor navigates using ground radar to rapidly pursue and capture rogue drones in GPS-denied environments.
