At the 2024 European Defense Exhibition, the omnidirectional FPV (first-person view) drone signal jammer launched by Advanced Protection Systems (APS) became the focus of the exhibition. As an important part of the anti-drone system SKYctrl, this device provides battlefield troops with necessary protection means with its powerful jamming capabilities and excellent performance. APS's omnidirectional FPV jammer is regarded as an outstanding representative of "soft kill" technology, neutralizing the threat of drones by jamming their control signals without physically destroying them.
FPV jammer device functions and technical features
APS's FPV jammer blockers specifically designed to counter first-person view drones (FPV drones), which have become increasingly common on the battlefield in recent years, providing the enemy with flexible reconnaissance and offensive means. The APS jammer device can operate independently or be integrated with other systems to become part of a complex defense system. The device's "soft kill" principle effectively prevents drones from performing their missions by interfering with their navigation and control signals. This technology not only avoids directly destroying drones, but also reduces the potential risks of physical strikes.
The omnidirectional FPV signal jammer is designed to be highly portable and easy to use. Users can operate it manually without external software or rely on its built-in automatic mode. The core technology of this device relies on the CyView command and control system developed by APS, which optimizes the drone jammer's workflow and ensures that it is simple to manage and intuitive to operate.
| Performance Advantages and Coverage | APS's FPV jammer device has an output power of up to 10 watts on each jamming band, making it an excellent counter-drone device. The omnidirectional antenna provides a gain of up to 4 dBi, ensuring that the device can effectively jam drone signals, especially in the frequency bands commonly used by FPV drones. |
| The maximum jamming range of this military drone jammer can reach 500 meters, depending on the distance between the drone and its control station and the strength of the navigation and control signals. At this distance, the signal jammer can completely block the drone's communications, making it unable to perform its mission, providing great protection for ground forces. | |
| Portability and Modular Design | Portability is another important feature of this FPV jammer. The device weighs between 15 and 28 kg and can adapt to various mission requirements. Its modular design allows battery power, and the device can run continuously for 6.5 hours under full load. In addition, the jammer supports multiple RF bands, covering up to 7 different bands, so as to maintain high efficiency when facing multiple types of drones. |
| The device design has been rigorously tested and can work in extreme environments, with an operating temperature range of -30°C to +50°C. The device is also certified to the MIL-STD-810H standard to ensure that it can still work stably in harsh climate conditions and rugged battlefield environments. At the same time, the device is designed according to the IP66/IP67 protection level, with good waterproof and anti-immersion capabilities, further enhancing its applicability in complex environments. | |
| Power Options and Flexibility | APS's FPV jammer blocker offers a variety of power options to flexibly adapt to different operating environments. The device supports power configurations such as 24VDC, 36VDC and 230VAC, allowing it to be adjusted according to specific mission requirements. This flexibility enables the jammer to be widely used in different combat scenarios, whether it is fixed installation or mobile deployment, the device can ensure continuous power supply and stable operation. |
| New defense capabilities brought by technological innovation | The launch of this omnidirectional FPV drone jammer marks a major advancement in anti-drone defense technology. In recent years, with the rapid development of drone technology, the demand for anti-drone technology on the battlefield has become more and more urgent. APS has successfully filled the technical gap in drone jamming defense by developing this advanced device. Its efficient performance, rugged design and convenient operation make it an important weapon for the military of various countries to prevent drone threats on the modern battlefield. |
| FPV drones, especially those using the first-person perspective, have shown great tactical advantages in military conflicts in recent years. They are able to be remotely controlled, carry out precision strikes and real-time reconnaissance, posing a major threat to ground forces. However, APS's omnidirectional FPV jammer effectively weakens the combat capabilities of these drones by effectively interfering with their communications and control systems. |
Omnidirectional FPV Jammer is a Major Breakthrough in Anti-UAV Technology
APS's omnidirectional FPV jammer not only demonstrates the leading level of current anti-UAV technology, but also points the way for future technological development. In future combat environments, the control of the electromagnetic spectrum on the battlefield will become increasingly important, and equipment that can effectively interfere with enemy drones, communications and navigation systems will become an indispensable defensive tool for the military.
The successful demonstration of this FPV jammer blocker proves APS's leading position in this field and lays the foundation for the future development of anti-UAV technology. As drone technology continues to evolve, the demand for countermeasures will only increase. With this device, APS has demonstrated its strong ability to meet the needs of the modern battlefield.
In short, the APS omnidirectional FPV drone jammer unveiled at the 2024 European Defense Exhibition demonstrates a new breakthrough in anti-UAV technology, combining the characteristics of efficient interference, ruggedness and durability, and convenient operation, providing important technical support for modern warfare.
