Detect, Identify and Track Unauthorized Drones
As the number of commercial and industrial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) continues to increase, protecting critical infrastructure, airports, military facilities, government buildings, industrial parks, and public events from unauthorized drone activity has become increasingly important.
Counter-UAS detection systems provide the first layer of defense by continuously monitoring surrounding airspace, identifying drone signals, locating their direction, and providing early warning before a potential threat reaches protected areas.
The Zhongcheng Heavy Equipment Defense Group Counter-UAS Detection Series combines fixed-site monitoring stations with portable detection devices, offering flexible deployment for permanent security installations as well as rapid-response field operations.
Product Overview
The detection product family includes multiple solutions designed for different operational environments:
- Skyfend portable drone detector
- Fixed drone detection station
- Portable handheld drone detector
These systems use passive radio-frequency (RF) signal analysis and intelligent identification algorithms to detect UAV communication signals without emitting active radar signals, providing discreet and reliable monitoring with minimal electromagnetic interference.
Skyfend Portable Drone Detection System
The Skyfend detector is designed for rapid deployment by security personnel, patrol teams, and mobile response units. It provides full-band drone detection and intelligent early warning in a compact handheld form factor.
Key Features
- 360° omnidirectional UAV detection
- Passive RF signal monitoring
- Intelligent drone model recognition
- Automatic early warning within seconds
- Built-in direction finding capability
- Touchscreen operation
- Lightweight portable design
- Suitable for patrol and mobile security missions
Fixed Drone Detection Equipment
The fixed detection station provides continuous long-term monitoring for permanent installations such as military bases, airports, government facilities, border security, and industrial infrastructure.
Using passive RF sensing and TDOA positioning technology, multiple stations can be networked together to achieve accurate UAV localization over wide coverage areas.
Advantages
- Continuous 24/7 operation
- Passive detection with no signal emission
- Supports networking of multiple stations
- Accurate drone positioning
- Low false alarm rate
- Compatible with mainstream commercial UAVs
- Blacklist and whitelist management
- Integration with command platforms
Portable Drone Detection Equipment
Portable drone detectors are designed for law enforcement officers, event security personnel, and rapid deployment teams requiring lightweight equipment for temporary operations.
The handheld detector continuously scans common UAV communication frequencies and immediately alerts operators once suspicious drone activity is detected.
Features
- Compact handheld design
- Passive signal detection
- Real-time drone identification
- Audible, vibration, and visual alarms
- Recognition of multiple commercial drone models
- Low power consumption
- Quick deployment with minimal training
Detection Technologies
The Counter-UAS detection systems incorporate several advanced technologies to improve detection accuracy and operational reliability.
Passive RF Signal Detection
The system monitors radio-frequency communication links between drones and remote controllers without transmitting signals, enabling covert operation while minimizing interference with surrounding communication systems.
Direction Finding
Integrated direction-finding technology estimates the bearing of detected UAV signals, allowing operators to quickly determine the direction of an incoming drone and coordinate further response.
Multi-Station Positioning
Fixed detection stations support TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) positioning, enabling multiple networked sensors to accurately locate drone positions across large protected areas.
Intelligent Signal Recognition
The software automatically identifies communication protocols from various commercial UAV manufacturers, reducing false alarms while improving target classification.
Typical Applications
The detection systems are suitable for a wide variety of security environments, including:
- Military facilities
- Airports
- Government buildings
- Border security
- Critical infrastructure
- Industrial parks
- Oil and gas facilities
- Power stations
- Public events
- VIP security
- Correctional facilities
