It's no surprise that various latest technologies have made headlines about other notorious news reports about the use of infamous consumer drones and near-aircraft accidents.
In France, drone jamming guns have successfully passed the military's DREP test, which measures electromagnetic radiation levels for human users. Although the jamming device looks like a rifle, the actual is not a weapon, but a drone jammer, rather, a signal interception device that blocks the drone's flight. It does not shoot at the aircraft. Instead, it can remotely intercept the drone, let it float in the air, and prevent images or videos from being sent back to its owner.
A spokesman said that drone jammers with long-range jamming radio frequency disruption technology are used to block airborne drones to help establish the safety of military installations or colonies. The weapon works in WiF 2.4 GHz and WiFi 5.8 GHz standards, as well as GPS and ISM radio bands, which can interfere with commercial drone signals. The gun can be operated over a wide frequency range, so it can detect the drone and shoot it down from a distance.
