A new counter-UAV system by German sensor maker Hensoldt has been successfully demonstrated at an airfield in Hamburg-Finkenwerder, Germany.
The counter-UAV system (for protecting airports and infrastructure) is the Xpeller, which combines camera, direction finders, radar, radio frequency detectors, optical sensors and a targeted jammer.
Xpeller uses sensors to detect and identify a UAV as far as several miles away. Then, a jammer -using real-time signal analysis- interrupts the link between the UAV and its pilot, or interferes with the UAV's navigation system.
