Netline’s DroneNet Fixed Installation provides a comprehensive, multi-layered counter-
drone solution for the detection, tracking, and mitigation of hostile drones attempting to
intrude on protected airspace. Designed to offer real-time situational awareness, this
system is crucial for safeguarding critical infrastructures.
The increasing use of drones for various attack missions presents a significant challenge
to homeland security and secure facilities. The DroneNet Fixed Installation counter-
drone protective envelope consists of three defense layers: detection, tracking, and
mitigation. The system operates continuously in real-time, 24/7, and is strategically
installed to provide complete protective coverage against drone threats.
The DroneNet Fixed Installation is managed by GeoDome, an advanced command &
control platform that integrates various sensors, collects data, and provides immediate,
actionable insights. Netline’s sensors and jammers are integrated and managed, locally
or remotely, by GeoDome, as well as other 3 rd party components via API, such as
radars, cameras, cyber drone solutions and more.
Drone Sensing Segment – The drone detection segment is based on a network of wide
band sensors deployed around the secured facility. The deployment architecture is
determined according to a site inspection around the facility, identifying the optimal
installation locations.
The DroneNet sensor, established on wideband channels, scans the spectral
environment and searches for potential drone threats. Netine’s innovative technology is based on a non-database algorithm designed to detect all drone threats within the
covered area, including standard, non-standard and DIY drones, which are the most
elusive threats in recent war zones and conflict areas. Additionally, the DroneNet sensor
includes preloaded spectral signatures of commercially available drones, serving as the
system’s database.
Tracking intruder drones is achieved by utilizing a Direction-Finding (DF) sensor, which
continuously scans and analyses the spectrum for drone spectral signatures. Upon
detection of a drone, the DroneNet DF sensor calculates the direction of the threat
relative to the antenna’s position based on the signals transmitted by the drone.
Measurements from two or more DF sensors deployed in different locations are
triangulated to determine the drone's precise location.
Drones will be detected and located immediately upon attempting to intrude the airspace set at a safe distance (a few kilometers radius) from the target, linked back to a central
C&C, allowing it to warn off the control center and respond appropriately.
Netline’s DroneNet Jammer is based on SDR wideband channels and supports
continuous coverage for all potential drone frequencies, not limited to ISM and GNSS
bands. Upon detection, Netline’s DroneNet jammer blocks the communication between
the drone and its operator, disables the drone’s control and telemetry channel, resulting
in loss of control over the drone. The jammer also blocks the video downlink
transmission and the drone’s navigation and stabilization capabilities. Our jammer can
operate as a stand-alone system or combined with Netline’s RD sensor.
Netline’s DroneNet product line is a holistic EW solution for counter-drone
defense and is available in multiple configurations, systems and sub-systems alike.
