TYPES OF COUNTER-DRONE TECHNOLOGY

Drone Detection Systems: These are like our superhero senses,

helping us see and hear when a rogue drone is nearby.
Radio Frequency (RF) Jamming: This tool disrupts the
communication between a drone and its operator by essentially

pressing a "pause" button on the drone.
Directed Energy Weapons and Capture Technologies: These are

superhero gadgets that either use special beams to disable a
drone without hurting it or physically catch the drone using nets

or other drones.

DRONE DETECTION SYSTEMS:

Radar (like superhero eyes): Radar watches the sky and tells us

if there's a drone flying where it shouldn't be. It even gives us
details, like how fast it's going and how high it is.

Acoustic Sensors (like superhero ears): These sensors listen to
the sounds drones make. If a drone is sneaking around, these

sensors can pick up its noise.
Radio Frequency Scanners (like superhero spy gadgets): These

scanners eavesdrop on the signals drones use to talk with their
controllers. They help us locate where the drone operator might
be.

Superpower: They help us know when and where rogue drones
are flying.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) JAMMING:

RF jammers emit signals that mess with the communication between

a drone and its operator, confusing the drone's navigation systems.
However, just like superheroes have rules, using RF jamming comes
with rules too. It can't be used everywhere because it

might also affect other devices nearby, like phones or radios.
