Kaspersky Lab has developed a portable drone detection system as part of the Kaspersky Antidrone Portable project. The specialist device can be used to protect private property and transportation infrastructure at mass events. Kaspersky Antidrone Portable is capable of locating the most common drone models within a radius of up to 1km, as well as identifying the drone’s operator. The kit’s main block weighs under 5kg and can function autonomously for up to two hours.
Operators can extend the search radius by traveling around the protected area. The technology can be used as an independent installation, or can be incorporated into larger systems, including stationary ones such as the Kaspersky Antidrone complex. The initial batch of 20 devices has been transferred to a Russian commercial firm, with target customers including state organizations and businesses that require rapid and precise drone detection at specific locations and periods of time.
Kaspersky Antidrone Portable is part of a suite of drone defence systems developed by Kaspersky Lab. The Kaspersky Antidrone complex was launched in October 2019 and is aimed at preventing unwanted drone incursions into various sites, including large industrial properties, mass events, private homes and other applications. The cost of Kaspersky Antidrone complex is dependent on its application and the specific types and models of UAVs that may need to be neutralised, with prices ranging from $100k to $1m for larger properties such as medium-sized airports.
