Unmanned and remotely piloted aircraft are now widely used in various areas of human life. They are actively used in agriculture, monitoring, logistics, and hazardous facilities monitoring. But, most often, advanced developments are beginning to be actively used for military purposes, so both small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and remotely piloted vehicles (RPV) are dangerous.
Scientists of the Penza State University received two patents aimed at suppressing and disabling of drones. The essence of the methods proposed by PSU scientists is multi-factor suppression of a moving small UAV or RPV. The target is consistently affected by both electromagnetic radiation and mechanical impact by striking elements.
This integrated approach to creating damaging factors allows to get the maximum probability of functional suppression of the target like small UAVs.
Obtaining two patents on this complex but very serious topic is not the end of the work, but it only completes a small part of it and is a kind of confirmation that the team of scientists has found the right way.
