The US military is equipped with a new generation drone defense system called DroneArmor to cope with the increasing threat from illegal drones, especially along the southern border of the country.
The system developed by Parsons Group is considered a significant step forward in applying artificial intelligence to the field of national defense and security.
DroneArmor is a modern anti-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAS) platform, integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning and many types of sensors in a unified modular architecture.
Thanks to that, the system has the ability to detect early, accurately track and disable illegal drones before they endanger soldiers, residential communities or important infrastructure.
According to Parsons (a US defense and security contractor), DroneArmor achieved technology readiness level 9, the highest level in the technology evaluation scale, showing that the system has been verified in actual usage conditions.
Operators can quickly grasp the situation, receive useful intelligence and deploy risk reduction measures accurately and effectively.
Mr. Carey Smith, Chairman and CEO of Parsons, said the company is providing key technologies to enhance national security and protect community safety.
As a leading system integration unit in security tasks, Parsons affirms its ability to develop and quickly deploy solutions that meet practical requirements.
Before being put into use, the DroneArmor system has undergone rigorous testing according to US government standards, ensuring stability and reliability in operation.
Technically, DroneArmor uses many different countermeasures, including narrowband radio frequency interference and network-based control techniques.
Depending on the mission requirements, the system can force the drone to return to the starting point, divert to a safe area or land immediately.
In addition, DroneArmor can be integrated with existing peripheral security systems such as surveillance cameras, biometric entry and exit control, and a multi-area command and control network.
The system also uses vibration and motion sensors to monitor suspicious activities near the protected area, and is ready to combine physical impact measures in case it is necessary to neutralize the target by direct method.
