DroneCannon Mk2
Long Range, Highly Effective Countermeasure
Item Number: 105 | NSN: 5865661650137
DroneCannon Mk2 is DroneShield’s next generation fixed site countermeasure with improved disruption capabilities, size, and durability. The device offers non-lethal, non-kinetic RF disruption to force UAS to land on the spot at the point of disruption or return-to-home. A single DroneCannon is effective against swarm attacks and can counter numerous UAS within range.
DroneCannons are controlled through the DroneSentry-C2 ‘Command-and-Control’ User Interface. Operators can monitor live coverage, receive alerts and set up automatic or manual engagement for defeat of threats detected by the system; as well as setup of predefined UAS exclusion zones for early warning alerts and autonomous defeat.
Integrated within the DroneSentry fixed site C-UAS system, the DroneCannon provides defeat with 90° coverage for a single unit and up to 360° coverage with four units mounted on the mast.
Also available as a standalone countermeasure, the DroneCannon can operate independently of a detection system and easily integrates into existing security systems.
DroneShield’s C-UAS defeat capabilities do not involve protocol manipulation or “cyber” tactics, given the limitations of those methods. It offers non-kinetic jamming for controlled management of response to threats.
Advantages
Fast Response
Instant activation RF disruption
Scalable
360° coverage with four sensors combined on a single mast
Non-lethal Countermeasure
UAS are either forced to ground at the point of jamming or return-to-home (back to the controller’s predesignated position)
GNSS Jamming
Interrupt UAS navigation capability, forcing targets to ground, landing in a controlled descent
Immediate Video Cease
Interrupts video link (transmission) to the drone controller if in disruption range
Stop the Swarm
Effective countermeasure to drone swarm attacks from multiple positions
Autonomous
Integrates with DroneSentry for an automatic detect-and-defeat, or, optionally, manual human-in-the-loop (HITL) action

Air Force Base
DroneShield deployed a DroneSentry detect and defeat system at Grand Forks Air Force Base. The deployment had multiple DroneSentry units around the large-scale site, forming a 360° integrated Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) platform for long-range detection, classification, tracking, and defeat.
