Addressing Future Threats: How the 400M Instantaneous Bandwidth Signal Generator Strengthens Counter-UAV Capabilities
Introduction
Kongsberg recently secured a NOK 1.6 billion contract in Poland for counter-UAV solutions, highlighting the globally increasing demand for effective drone countermeasures. With rising geopolitical tensions and the widespread use of drones in both military and illicit activities, national defense and security agencies are actively seeking innovative methods to mitigate these increasingly complex aerial threats. This contract is not only a commercial success for Kongsberg but also signifies the central role of counter-UAV technology in global security strategies, foreshadowing a future defense paradigm that prioritizes flexible and efficient drone detection and countermeasures.
Industry Challenges & Pain Points
Currently, unauthorized drones pose serious threats to critical infrastructure, military bases, and public safety. Modern drone technology is rapidly evolving, including small, difficult-to-detect drones, swarm attacks, and advanced models using frequency hopping and spread spectrum communication. Traditional countermeasures, such as fixed-frequency jammers or single-band radars, prove inadequate against these rapidly evolving threats due to their limited frequency range, slow response times, and lack of adaptability. These systems struggle to effectively cover the broad operating frequencies of drones or quickly adapt to changes in their communication patterns, thus leaving defense vulnerabilities.
The Core Countermeasure: Why the Signal Interference Source is Key
Among many counter-UAV strategies, the signal interference source, often referred to as a suppressor or jammer, is considered one of the most direct and effective means of countering drones. By emitting strong radio frequency signals, it interferes with a drones navigation, control, or data links, causing it to lose control, land, or return to base. However, achieving efficient counter-UAV signal jamming critically depends on wideband coverage and frequency agility. Faced with multi-band, multi-protocol drone threats, the interference source must operate across a broad frequency range and be capable of instantaneously switching or simultaneously jamming multiple frequencies to cope with complex battlefield environments.
Advanced Solution: 400M Instantaneous Bandwidth Signal Generator
To meet the stringent requirements of modern counter-UAV signal interference sources, we proudly introduce the 400M Instantaneous Bandwidth Signal Generator.
