Netline develops new direction-finding sensor to detect drone threats

Counter-drone technology provider Netline Communications Technologies Ltd has introduced a non-database direction-finding (DF) sensor to its range. It is designed to detect all drone threats in the covered area including various non-standard and DIY drones. 

The new version of Netline’s DF sensor is based on three detection steps. First, the sensor scans the spectrum for all radio frequencies (RF) in the relevant bands, then separates targets from the spectral noisy environment using a hybrid algorithm, and finally tracks the suspicious targets to define their threatening level according to different parameters.

The strategic deployment of two or more DF sensors in the covered area can provide precise localisation through the intersection of the two direction lines.
