# Anti-Drone Cannons The Anti-UAV Defense System Disables Robotic Aircrafts with Radio Waves By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-10-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antiuav-defense-system References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/anti-uav-defense-system-radio-beam-drones/39778/) & [blighter](http://www.blighter.com/products/blighter-auds-anti-uav-defence-system.html) The skies are filled with more [UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-matrice-400) than ever before and this potential for security breaches isn't being taken lightly by a variety of brands including Blighter Surveillance Systems who have created the Anti-UAV Defense System (AUDS) to instantly disable any [incoming drones entering restricted airspace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance). Designed to look like a cannon of sorts that can be affixed to the ground or a vehicle, the AUDS is designed to quickly and effortlessly take out drones before they become an imminent threat or invade the airspace. Speaking on the capabilities of the AUDS, Graham Beall explains, "Our system has been developed to address this urgent operational requirement and has been successful in government sponsored counter-UAV trials, detecting, and disrupting a variety of [fixed and rotary wing drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsmall-drone) in under 15 seconds. The new capabilities further enhances the system's suitability for countering rogue or malicious unmanned aircraft systems." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anti-drone Technology Innovation:** Creating new anti-drone technologies to enhance the safety of restricted airspace by quickly and effortlessly taking out unwanted drones. - **Defense Robotics Advancement:** Advancing defense robotics to address urgent operational requirements and protect restricted airspace from potential security breaches. - **Counter-uav Capabilities Development:** Developing counter-UAV capabilities to detect and disrupt fixed and rotary wing aerial vehicles that can potentially invade restricted airspace or become an imminent threat. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Defense and Security Industry:** Developing anti-drone defense systems to secure restricted airspace for government organizations, commercial entities and other industries that require heightened security measures. - **Robotics Industry:** Creating advanced robotic defense technologies, which prevent intrusion of malicious unmanned aircraft by detecting and disrupting them in under 15 seconds. - **Aerospace Industry:** Designing and manufacturing anti-drone technologies to ensure air safety, especially for sensitive areas such as airports, military bases, and events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Laser-Controlled Military Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasercontrolled-military-drone.md) - [Portable Drone Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dedrone.md) - [Drone-Intercepting Quadcopters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-interceptor.md) - [Airport-Assisting Drone Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-drone-system.md) - [Missile-Fooling Aircraft Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antiradar-system.md) - [Missile-Firing Unmanned Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missilefiring-unmanned-drone.md) - [Autonomous Threat Detection Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threat-detection-system.md) - [Ultrasonic Balloon-Borne Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blimp-drone.md) - [Bird-Diverting Robotic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-system.md)
