DroneHunter® F700

Pursue Mode

DroneHunter investigates offending drones more closely while onboard optical cameras stream back to SkyDome Manager C2.

‍

Attack Mode

When the DroneHunter locks onto a track, the onboard radar can quickly determine if the target is smaller and/or slower than the DroneHunter. In this case, the AI in the DroneHunter assumes an attack position to hunt and capture the offending drone and tow it away via a tether to a pre-determined safe location.This is normally done at a long stand-off distance from the venue given the long-range mitigation capability of the DroneHunter, often 3x-10x the distance of other ground-based mitigation techniques.

Defense Mode

When the DroneHunter locks onto a track, the onboard radar can quickly determine if the target is larger and/or faster than the DroneHunter. In this case, the AI in the DroneHunter autonomously assumes a defensive stance between the incoming rogue drone's track and a pre-defined defense point.As these fast-incoming drones and fixed wing aircraft arrive flying on waypoints, the DroneHunter maneuvers to fire a net with specialized entanglers to attach to the wing or fuselage. As the rogue aircraft is entangled, DroneHunter attempts to tow it away, but if too large, the drag on the tether releases with a parachute at the end of the tether. This parachute causes uneven drag on the aircraft, causing the rogue aircraft to a near stop and float safely straight to the ground.

Autonomous Tow-Away

Net tether allows for autonomous tow-away to a designated location for forensics and safe payload disposal.
