Problem
Existing counter‑drone technologies often rely on kinetic impact, RF or GPS jamming, or explosive measures that can create falling debris, cause collateral damage, and are restricted by legal frameworks, especially in densely populated or critical infrastructure areas.
Solution
Lev Drone Systems offers a reusable drone‑defence platform that safely intercepts hostile UAVs and transports them to a secure containment zone for analysis or disposal. The interceptor uses a proprietary laser‑based guidance system that locks onto the target without relying on GPS or RF signals, ensuring reliable operation even in jammed environments. By capturing the drone intact, the solution eliminates debris and eliminates the need for disruptive jamming, while remaining compliant with current regulations for civilian airspace. The system is designed for rapid deployment around sensitive sites, providing a cost‑effective, repeatable method to neutralize drone threats without endangering nearby people or property.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and event organizers responsible for protecting sites such as airports, power plants, stadiums, and government facilities from unauthorized drone incursions.
Features
- Laser‑based, GPS‑independent guidance that continuously tracks and guides the interceptor to the target drone
- Controlled capture mechanism that secures the rogue drone and transports it to a designated safe area for forensic analysis or disposal
- Fully reusable interceptor hardware, reducing per‑engagement costs compared to single‑use kinetic or jamming solutions
- Compliance‑first design that operates within existing legal frameworks for drone operation in populated environments
- High capture success rate (96%) with documented minimal collateral damage incidents
