Germany Bolsters Drone Defense: Armed Forces Train, DLR Innovates
The German Armed Forces have been refining their drone defense skills in the 'Red Storm Bravo' exercise, employing Argus Interception drones that ensnare intruders with nets. Meanwhile, the German Interior Minister is pushing for expanded military assistance to police in tackling rogue drones.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is at the forefront of these efforts, leading the CUSTODIAN project involving twelve institutions. DLR's approach combines lasers, radar, and cameras to identify, locate, and track unwanted drones. These systems can be mounted on vehicles or trailers for mobile defense.
In an emergency, DLR recommends electronic jamming as a countermeasure. The Institute for Flight Systems suggests this as a last resort to disrupt drone signals. DLR's tests in Cochstedt have shown success in forcing enemy drones to land by interfering with their navigation signals and ramming them with interception drones.
The DLR's drone defense competence center in Cochstedt plays a crucial role in testing and refining these countermeasures. As drone threats evolve, so too must the strategies to combat them. With the German Armed Forces' recent exercises and the DLR's ongoing research, Germany is bolstering its defenses against unwanted drone activity.
