After 4 years of development Aaronia introduces its new Drone Detection System. The Aaronia Drone Detector is used to detect the incursion of unwanted drones, based on the directional real-time measurement of the electromagnetic emissions of drones. It warns the operator when drones are in the area and send alerts. The rapid proliferation of micro/mini UAVs is a growing … [Read more...]
Dutch Police Training Eagles to Take Down Drones
Despite all the new regulations being in place, or being developed, for use of drones, they are prolific and inexpensive enough that invariably, there will be some level of misuse. While they can be jammed, forced to auto-land, or captured with nets, the result may be more dangerous than its worth. However, the Dutch National Police have started training eagles to take them … [Read more...]

Flexible Material Controls Electronic Emissions and EMP
Conductive Composites, a company in Utah, has developed a flexible material that is thin and tough enough for wallpaper or woven fabric to keep electronic emissions in and electromagnetic pulses out. “Conductive Composites has created a method to layer nickel on carbon to form a material that’s light and moldable like plastic yet can disperse energy like a traditional metal … [Read more...]
Russia Developing Drone that can see through Camouflage and Detect Hidden Objects
United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation, a corporation based in Russia, is building an all-seeing eye drone fitted with tech-forward technology that allows it to see beyond the human eye’s electromagnetic spectrum, giving it the ability to detect both hidden and camouflaged objects. The drone will advance technology for all types of military equipment. “The unmanned … [Read more...]
Invisibility Cloak to Improve Military Operations
A team of scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed a material that resembles an invisibility cloak. The material could change the face of military operations and would allow weapons and maybe even military personnel to function while undetected. UCSD scientists have tested the “first effective dielectric metasurface material—an … [Read more...]
New Metamaterial Yields Invisibility for Aircraft and Drones
Electrical engineers from the University of California have created a new ultra-thin metamaterial that could provide a cloaking device and make UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) invisible. The new material creates invisibility and leaves no electronic, infrared or visual signatures for enemies to detect. The new design uses “an ultra-thin Teflon substrate, studded with … [Read more...]
Product’s Expanded Features Reveal Hidden Interference
Narda Safety Test Solutions has expanded the features of its Interference and Direction Analyzer (IDA), which will clarify and improve wireless signals. The IDA “Spectrograms with a time resolution of as fine as 1 μs now allow insights into signal structures that were otherwise only possible with large scale lab equipment. This means that interference and hidden transmitters … [Read more...]
