ThunderShield™ - High-Power Microwave Electromagnetic Neutralisation of Drones
Directed Energy Weapon for C-UAV
The ThunderShield™ effector is a Direct Energy Weapon that generates a short, powerful electromagnetic wave to neutralise Class I drones. The High-Power Microwave capability can simultaneously neutralise multiple targets, making ThunderShield™ the optimal solution against increasing swarm threats. The Thundershield™ system is also effective against new generations of drones and emerging controlled models like autonomous, 5G or with optic fiber links.
Strengths
-
Proven tube technology
60 years of expertise and experience in radiofrequency and microwave technologies.
-
Neutralisation of Class I drones
ThunderShield™ can neutralise all Class I drones, including new threats (swarm, autonomous drones, fibre optic).
-
Safe in Urban Areas
Utilises non-kinetic, short, and directed emissions that target specific threats without affecting surrounding assets or interfering with civilian, airport, and GNSS frequencies.
Safeguarding critical sites and major events
Designed for critical protection and rapid deployment, Thales' advanced electromagnetic counter-UAV solution is mobile and lightweight. Building on 60 years of expertise, this system incapacitates Class 1 drones and swarms with powerful electromagnetic waves.
It offers comprehensive coverage and a conical beam for precise targeting.
Adaptable for use at military bases, large public events, or on military vessels, this solution ensures the effective neutralisation of drones in various operational scenarios.
With the rising prevalence of drones and the emergence of asymmetric threats, it has become essential to develop advanced technological solutions to counter unauthorised drone operations. The deployment of drones, presents increasing risks to air transportation, critical infrastructures, and large public events. These readily available systems are evolving rapidly, incorporating features like autonomous flight and swarm coordination, challenging the efficiency of traditional neutralisation techniques.
