Problem
Unauthorized unmanned aerial systems (UAS) pose a growing threat to sensitive areas and critical infrastructure. Traditional counter-UAS solutions can cause significant collateral damage and may not be suitable for all environments.
Solution
Prandtl Dynamics offers a non-lethal counter-UAS solution using ultrasonic technology to disrupt and disable drones. Their Meteorological Ultrasonic Drone Destruction System (MUDDS) targets and interferes with the gyroscopic sensors of UAS, causing them to lose control and safely descend. This approach minimizes the risk of collateral damage, making it suitable for use in civilian security operations and the protection of critical infrastructure. The system is designed to integrate into a layered counter-UAS approach, providing a unique method for detecting and defeating drones.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes security personnel responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, government facilities, and other sensitive areas from unauthorized drone activity.
Features
- Utilizes specialized ultrasonic waves to target and disrupt UAS Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and sensors
- Provides a ranged, non-point targeted defeat of internal components
- Offers an effective defense against weaponized UAS with minimal collateral damage
- Designed for integration into external command and control systems
