Detachable Drone Hijacker and/or Jammer Method, Apparatus and System

Abstract

A method, apparatus and system for countering unmanned aerial systems (UAS). More specifically, this disclosure, and the exemplary embodiments described herein, provide por­table detachable/attachable drone hijackers/jammers and systems meant to act as a stand-in electronic warfare device that can be configured and attached to another unmanned device. According to an exemplary embodiment, the dis­closed method, apparatus and system targets adversarial UAV s by leveraging their protocol vulnerabilities and attacking their communication links between a target and its ground control station (GCS), or other communication links to other devices (such as GNSS and other UAVs). Its detachable nature gives the Detachable Drone Hijacker a stand-in capability where it can exist amongst its targets and deliver air-to-air attacks.
