DroneGun Tactical
Handheld rifle-shaped RF jamming device for dismounted counter-UAS operations, triggering drone fail-safe protocols.
System Overview
What It Is
DroneGun Tactical is a handheld, rifle-shaped radio frequency jamming device designed for dismounted operators to defeat hostile drones by disrupting their control links and GPS navigation.
How It Works
The operator aims the DroneGun at the target drone and activates jamming. The device emits RF interference on common drone control frequencies and GNSS bands, triggering the drone's fail-safe protocol.
Primary Capability
Handheld RF and GNSS jamming to disrupt drone control links and navigation, forcing fail-safe responses.
Procurement Intelligence
COTS; NATO allies; Belgium €2.8M contract; 50+ countries
Overview
DroneGun Tactical represents the "rifle" category of handheld counter-drone jammers, providing dismounted operators with an intuitive point-and-shoot capability against UAS threats.
Jamming Effect
When activated against a target drone, DroneGun disrupts the RF control link and jams GNSS signals, triggering the drone's programmed fail-safe.
