What is Drone Defence System?
Drone Defence System (DDS) is a system, weapon, or technology that detects, tracks, intercepts, and destroys attacking or hostile Drones that penetrate forbidden area. It has a drone library based on machine learning that automates the protection of airspaces from illegal drones. Aside from that, contemporary drone defence systems employ a variety of sensors, radars, and electro optic devices to detect drones. Active and passive countermeasures present in drone defence systems comprise of lasers, conventional kinetic systems such as guns, active electronic warfare suites, and counter drone deployment. Democratization of drone technology has made it cheaper for state as well as non-state actors to access advanced drones, thus posing a major security threat to the national security of several countries. Use of drones by terrorist organisations too has stimulated the increase in demand for drone defence system. North America and Asia Pacific are the two prominent markets of drone defence system.
