Abstract

The primary research objective is to reduce the dangers of rogue drones in our lives and the consequences of extremist groups, drug dealers, and organised criminals using them. The growing number of incidents involving modified drones proves the weakness of existing technology in stopping and neutralising errant drones such as the hand-held gun jammer, trained eagle, R.F. jammer, and others. This technology is not very likely to able to knock out a rogue drone and is incapable of stopping programmable drones. This article aims to examine the directed energy of HPM (high power microwaves) in using the electromagnetic field strength energy to damage the drone’s structure or burn its PCB board electronics. It goes on to analyse electronic attack using microwave power with high frequency to immediately switch off drones. The effectiveness of high microwave power for disrupting drones at different distances and in different weather conditions is evaluated. A study of the conical horn antenna of the magnetron coupling system, which has an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz, is also included.

Highlights

  • Far beyond being a nuisance and safety annoyance in controlled areas, including airports, oil fields, and political areas, liquidation of drones is possible (Monte, 2021)

  • This is an essential finding for understanding the efficiency of the High-Power Microwaves (HPM) energy to stop the enemy drones

  • We proved that we could stop rogue drones with the HPM cannon in this research

Summary

Introduction

Far beyond being a nuisance and safety annoyance in controlled areas, including airports, oil fields, and political areas, liquidation of drones is possible (Monte, 2021). On 14 May 2019, ten coordinated attacks using suicide drones caused fires at a central oil processing facility and nearby oil and gas fields in the Abqaiq processing facility. This attack led to around 50% of the Saudi daily petrol production being suspended. The drone costs around $145; they are capable of closing airports and sparking global turmoil. In the future, they could push a government closer and closer to an all-out war (Englund, 2019). The following technologies can be used to disable suicide drones:
