RFHIC Enhances Drone Defense Capabilities With Advanced GaN Wideband Amplifiers For Counter-UAS Applications

RFHIC has introduced a comprehensive range of GaN wideband amplifiers, tailored for integration into counter unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). As the conflict in Ukraine demonstrates, commercial drones pose an escalating threat to both military and civilian targets by providing a cost-effective means for surveillance and attacks.

C-UAS are fundamentally designed around three core functions: Detection and Tracking, Identification, and Neutralization/Interdiction. These systems work to first detect and track the drone, identify it, and then either neutralize or intercept it.

Methods for drone neutralization or damage typically involve kinetic, directed energy, or electromagnetic responses. RFHIC's GaN wideband amplifiers play a crucial role in these systems by facilitating an effective electromagnetic response to drone threats. When embedded into C-UAS systems, these amplifiers support various defensive measures, including:

• Jamming: Interrupting the communication links to and from the drone, thereby disrupting its control.
• Spoofing: Manipulating the drone’s GPS to either seize control and safely land it, or to reroute it.
• Directed Energy Weapons: Employing lasers to physically damage or incapacitate the drone.
• Electronic Warfare Tactics: Using electronic methods to interfere with the drone's operational capabilities.

RFHIC's GaN wideband amplifiers are not only tactically proven but also offer reliability as standard off-the-shelf products with options for customization.
