Drone Threat and CUAS Technology
Objectives
This document describes Elbit Systems`s understanding of the Drone threats and the roll of Regulation & Technology as part of the CUAS effort. Also in this document is Elbit concept for CUAS system and the technology needed to protect against these threats. This paper is based on Elbit's experience in the design, manufacture, and testing of Electronic Warfare (EW), Counter - Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (C-RCIED), and Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) protection systems.
Conclusions
General
The use of privet and commercial drones is constantly growing, creating new threats to public safety and new challenges for law enforcement. These threats are already here and can be seen in daily events all over the world. The way to utilize drones’ potential while protecting public safety, calls for the combination of new regulations and technology.
Regulation and Technology
There is a need to look differently at the three main drone usage segments:
Commercial – regulation, and technology for air traffic control, UAS registration, and pilot training and registration.
Private – updated UAS class (with weight and performance limits), regulation for fly no-fly zones, UAS id-tag for high-class drones, counter UAS technology for law enforcement and public safety (airports, sports events, etc.).
CrimeTerror – Threat analysis for government and sensitive sites, for deploying the relevant Counter UAS technology.
Military - Military grade and multi-layer CUAS technology for war zones.
All Counter UAS technology should be based on modular and multi-layer design to enable change upgrades as the UAS threat evolves.
