Combining Mobility and Precision: Bosch’s New Patent on Electromagnetic Jamming UAVs Goals to Redefine Counter-Drone Protection
by DRONELIFE Employees Author Ian J. McNabb
Because the C-UAS (counter-UAS) area explodes and governments scramble to amass efficient drone-fighting applied sciences, German industrial large Robert Bosch GmbH lately obtained a patent (serial #WO2023135017) for a brand new UAV-based anti-drone system that depends on short-range highly effective electromagnetic jamming indicators to take out undesirable UAV threats.
Whereas different counter UAV techniques use ground or vehicle-based sign jammers or heavy kinetic drones designed to actually smack threats out of the sky, Bosch’s proposed methodology combines the 2 by putting the jammers on a UAV. This strategy has apparent benefits (it’s as transportable as a UAV is and has a variety so far as a UAV can go) and will present a compelling different to current choices, which are sometimes stationary or extraordinarily cumbersome.
The complete textual content of the patent reads as follows:“The invention pertains to a technique for defence towards a overseas drone (20) by way of a defence drone (10) comprising a jamming machine (18) which is designed to emit an electromagnetic jamming sign (19) after activation, mentioned methodology comprising activating (160) the jamming machine when or whereas the defence drone assumes a defence place (22) relative to the overseas drone (20), whereby, within the defence place, a distance and a relative peak of the defence drone with respect to the overseas drone are inside a predefined distance vary and a predefined relative peak vary. The invention additionally pertains to a defence drone and to a defence system.”
Whereas we could also be a long way away from really seeing drone-based C-UAS system, the enchantment of combating hearth with hearth will little question result in additional growth on this idea. As authorities funding for C-UAS products skyrockets, Bosch is putting themselves in an excellent place to supply a compelling different to current counter drone merchandise.
