FAQ - C-UAS Mitigation

What is C-UAS mitigation? +

C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System) mitigation refers to technologies and methods used to neutralize unauthorized or malicious drones.

Why is counter-drone mitigation important? +

Unauthorized drones pose security threats such as espionage, smuggling, airspace violations, and drone-enabled attacks. Numerous incidents all over the world highlight the need for effective mitigation solutions to prevent drone-related disruptions.

How do C-UAS mitigation systems work? +

Counter-drone mitigation systems work by detecting, identifying, and neutralizing rogue drones using methods such as:

  • RF-based cyber-takeover – Safely takes control of unauthorized drones and lands them securely.
  • Signal jamming – Disrupts communication between the drone and its operator.
  • Directed energy weapons – Uses high-energy lasers or microwave systems to disable drones.
  • Kinetic countermeasures –Physical interception, including nets and various types of projectiles
What is RF-Cyber based drone takeover, and why is it preferred? +

RF-based cyber-takeover technology allows security teams to take control of unauthorized drones and land them safely, rather than jamming or destroying them. This method minimizes collateral damage, avoids interference with surrounding communications, and helps operators to comply with airspace requirements.

Where are C-UAS mitigation systems used? +

Subject to regulations which vary by country, counter-drone mitigation may be deployed in:

  • Airports – To prevent flight disruptions and unauthorized drone incursions, if and where allowed.
  • Military & Defense – To protect sensitive operations and installations.
  • Critical Infrastructure – Including power plants, oil refineries, and government buildings.
  • Public Events & Stadiums – To safeguard large gatherings from drone threats.
  • Prisons & Border Security – To prevent contraband smuggling and unauthorized surveillance.
  • Maritime Security & Safety – To protect ports, naval vessels, and maritime assets from drone threats.
  • VIP Protection – To safeguard high-profile individuals from drone surveillance and potential attacks.
  • Law Enforcement – To counter illicit drone activities in urban and high-risk areas.
  • National Security & Homeland Security – To mitigate aerial threats against government agencies and national security operations.
  • Landmarks and Government Buildings – To prevent unauthorized drone activity around sensitive sites.
  • Enterprise Protection – To secure corporate campuses, industrial facilities, and private properties from drone-related risks.
