Do drones bother you? Are you a security professional, do you work at the airport, and are drones not a welcome sight? That's why the Paladyne E1000MP drone blocking weapon was developed. The specific is one of the most effective in the market.
Made by British company Drone Defense, the E1000MP works by sending an electric currentmagnetic signal on the same frequency that the target drone uses for control communications, GPS orientation and video transmission.
This causes the drone to lose communication with its pilot, causing it to land automatically or return to the take-off point.
The weapon has an operational range of 1 km (0,6 mi) and can be used with either a directional or omnidirectional antenna. The first focuses the jamming signal on a specific drone, while the second broadcasts the signal to a wider one region that needs protection.
It is reportedly possible for users to gain control over the frequencies used by the aircraft. This means they could manually enable the feature restitutions at home, which allows them to track down the drone operator by tracking where it lands.
The Paladyne E1000MP is IP56 waterproof, works for two hours on a four hour charge battery of and operates in ambient temperatures from -20ºC to 60 °C. It can even be added to a regular melee weapon, as you can see above.
It weighs 3,5 kg, which includes both the weapon itself and its accompanying control box. While that did put it at the light end of the spectrum, DroneShield's DroneGun MkIII actually comes in much lighter, at 1,95 kg (4,3 lb).
