Kaspersky Antidrone
Kaspersky has unveiled a new solution designed to help organisations and property owners defend themselves against attacks by private drones.
The Antidrone uses a combination of sensors including laser. These will scan to detect, identify and preemptively stop drone intrusion into restricted zones. All this takes place without destroying the devices in question.
Drones have rapidly become a commonly used tool by businesses. In 2018, the global drone market reached $14 billion and will hit $43 billion by 2024 according to estimates. This growth is below the complex situation that unmanned aerial vehicles can bring about, including opportunities to deliver goods and help with ecological destruction to recreational experiences.
Drones have many benefits. Their use will also likely increase in the future. However, there are some negative events that could affect the adoption of this technology on a mass scale. It might seem like drone usage is only frowned upon by simple humans, but a recent survey showed that it has a net negative perception. This could be due to cases of illegal or improper use. They can be used for espionage, to damage critical infrastructure, including nuclear power stations, or injure people. They can disrupt the normal operations of an airport and can cause serious accidents. Notable was the closure of the runway at London’s Gatwick Airport due to drones.
For these reasons, it is important to build and maintain trust in this technology and to preserve its role as a key innovation for businesses and individuals, ensuring that it does not pose a risk to privacy and security. It’s important to remind yourself when and where you can fly a drone. Kaspersky has developed an anti-drone solution that can help make your travels safer, reduce risks and allow more accountability with the use of unmanned aircraft systems.
Drone detection
Kaspersky Antidrone software connects to a radar to help identify the difference between drones and other objects. The drone detection module consists of three different components; video cameras, radar and LIDAR. Just what you need to spot remote drones in diverse environments. The use of Kaspersky drones is the first of its kind. The only solution that could offer this type of accuracy is their laser scans.
At a detected moving object in the sky, it sends coordinates to a dedicated server. This sends coordinates on where to go, and the unit can then travel there to track it. If someone’s connected a drone, a neural network working with the company’s servers will notice it and send commands to the module that blocks drone communication. The drone is either flown back to where it took off or land at the place where it lost signal. This way, losing a drone will no longer mean that you need to throw it away and give up.
The software is a standalone solution to third-party hardware, as a portable version (for example, for use on top of off-road vehicles) or integrated into other surveillance systems, such as “smart” home infrastructures.
