A radio frequency (RF) jamming device includes a differential segmented aperture (DSA), a jammer source outputting a jamming signal at one or more frequencies or frequency bands to be jammed, and RF electronics that amplify and feed the jamming signal to the DSA so as to emit a jamming beam. The DSA includes an array of electrically conductive tapered projections, and the RF electronics comprise power splitters configured to split the jamming signal to aperture pixels of the DSA. The aperture pixels comprise pairs of electrically conductive tapered projections of the array of electrically conductive tapered projections. The RF electronics further comprise pixel power amplifiers, each connected to amplify the jamming signal fed to a single corresponding aperture pixel of the DSA. The RF jamming device may include a rifle-shaped housing, with the DSA mounted at a distal end of the barrel of the rifle-shaped housing.

A system for near field communications is provided. The system can include a near field generator configured to generate a near field detectable signal comprising information. The system can include a near field detector configured to receive the near field detectable signal and output the information. The system can include an Electro-Magnetic (EM) shield surrounding the near field generator to block EM radio frequency (RF) signals in the vicinity of the near field generator from interfering with operations of the near field generator. The EM shield does not prevent communication of the near field detectable signal between the near field generator and the near field detector. The EM shield can be configured to reduce magnetic field loss from eddy currents in the EM shield as the near field detectable signal passes through the EM shield.

The invention provides a system and method for intercepting a target UAV by releasing a plurality of countermeasure (CM) objects in a projected path thereof to form a 3D countermeasure cloud. Pieces of flexible materials configured to become ensnared in the propellers of the target UAV or otherwise interfere with their ability to provide lift and thrust capabilities to the UAV. A UAV interception control system may track the target UAV and compute a location probability volume therefor using a modified Kalman filter to decide on a projected interception location and time.

A handheld countermeasure device is disclosed herein. The device can include a hand-held form factor body. The device can include disruption components, a directional antenna, and a processor. The disruption components can be configured to generate a disruptive signal. The directional antenna can be configured to emit the disruptive signal. The processor can be configured to determine a position of the handheld countermeasure device based on a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal. The processor can be configured to load a device profile for the handheld countermeasure device based on the position of the handheld countermeasure device.

Systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating the presence of a drone are provided herein. In one aspect, a system for detecting presence of a drone includes a radio-frequency (RF) receiver configured to receive an RF signal transmitted between a drone and a controller. The RF signal includes a synchronization signal for synchronization of the RF signal. The system can further include a processor and a computer-readable memory in communication with the processor and having stored thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the at least one processor to receive a sequence of samples from the RF receiver, obtain a double differential of the received sequence of samples, calculate a running sum of a defined number of the double differential of the received sequence of samples, and detect the presence of the drone based on the running sum.

A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment may be based e.g., on data mining of internal and external data sources. The deterrent element selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.

A disruption device for fixing to an aerial vehicle. The disruption device is adapted to disrupt at least one radio path between at least one receiving unit of an unmanned flying body and at least one transmitting unit provided for controlling the flight path of the unmanned flying body. An aerial vehicle having the disruption device is further provided.

Systems, methods and apparatus are described for a HERF weapon that may emit high-energy radio waves at a target based on locational information and a frequency associated with the target. The HERF weapon may receive the frequency and locational information from a sensing system. The HERF weapon may emit a high energy pulse toward the target and on the frequency associated with the target to disable or destroy the target without affecting nearby devices. The HERF weapon may allow the user to avoid detection by using a frequency that corresponds to the target's operating frequency.

The vehicle united is to be installed with the vehicle having a first transceiver, a first relay transceiver an authentication unit, a first controller for controlling said first relay transceiver allowing said transmission if said user is authenticated. The key fob storage unit comprises at least one housing for securely holding at least one key fob associated with said PKES systems of said vehicles, a second, said second wireless relay w wherein said first relay transceiver and said second relay transceiver allows said PKES system and said key fob to communicate from a distance larger than a range of said PKES system signals.

A system for providing integrated detection and countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles include a detecting element, a location determining element and an interdiction element. The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The location determining element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The interdiction element can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can cause disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner.
