Detection Range & Site Conditions

Detection distance is quoted for line of sight in a clean electromagnetic environment, and that is the figure to plan around on open ground: a perimeter road, a coastal path, an airfield boundary. In built-up areas the picture changes. Buildings, containers, loading banks and dense radio traffic all shorten the distance at which a drone link first appears, so patrol spacing and vantage points matter more than the headline number. Height helps too — an airframe flying low behind a ridge wall or a terminal building may stay out of range until it climbs. Hold the handset clear of vehicle bodies and steelwork, since metal close to the antenna quietens what the receiver hears, and work a route in two passes from different positions to pick up what a single sweep misses. Anti drone companies staging units across a client estate usually walk the site first and mark two or three standing checkpoints before deployment.

Applications

• Correctional facilities — yard sweeps, wall lines and recreation blocks, where even a short warning can interrupt a contraband drop. Officers walk the route with the most open sky above it and keep the alert on vibration so the check stays discreet.
• Airports and airfields — perimeter and approach ground checks, giving the patrol team a way to verify what ground staff or the tower suspect before an aircraft movement is affected.
• Public events and close protection — gate lines, rooftops and moving VIP details, where a small team can check one specific approach instead of trying to watch an entire venue.
• Border, energy and critical infrastructure — long fence lines and remote compounds such as substations and pump stations, where a single patrol can sweep a checkpoint and then move on.
• Police and public-safety patrols — a unit that lives in the vehicle and comes out at a waypoint, adding a mobile confirmation layer inside a wider counter UAS deployment that already includes fixed detection.

Band Configuration

Default coverage — the unit arrives scanning the mainstream drone control and video links that most consumer and commercial airframes use, which covers the majority of sites out of the box. Nothing needs configuring before a first deployment. Custom scanning — the scanning range can be customized, so if your region's drone activity sits on links outside the default set, the band list can be built around your threat picture. Counter UAS teams normally send the site type and the drone activity they have already seen, and the scan set is matched to it. Eight bands or twelve — the unit can run an 8-band or a 12-band set. Twelve bands widen coverage but lengthen each scan cycle, while eight bands give the quicker confirmation when a contact is already airborne and moving. The wider set suits general patrol sweeps; the narrower set suits active tracking.

Technical Support & Model Matching

Choosing between a handheld detector, a vehicle-mounted or tripod-deployed system, a fixed passive detection installation, and a GaN suppression module comes down to your site, your threats and your existing equipment. Our team works with integrators and security buyers from your first enquiry: we help match the right detection range, band coverage and output level to the job, support customisation of module parameters, and stay available through installation, commissioning and troubleshooting. Send us your deployment scenario and we will recommend a configuration.
