SINGAPORE: In a bid to bolster public safety and security, the Singaporean Police Force (SPF) have taken a significant step towards countering the growing threat of rogue drones.
SPF and the Home Team Science and Technology Agency, have jointly developed and deployed a suite of advanced counter-drone systems designed to detect, track and neutralise malicious drones.
One of the key components of the republic's counter-drone arsenal is the handheld drone jamming system.
On SPF's official Facebook page, it explained the dangers posed by these unmanned aerial vehicles.
Drones have the potential to breach protected areas and bypass conventional security measures, posing a substantial danger to national security.
The usage of the handheld drone jamming system, are measures set to strengthen the republic's defences against potential aerial threats during major security events and in other critical situations.
The handheld drone jamming system will be used to neutralise the rogue drones.
The device is engineered to disrupt the control signal of rogue drones, effectively grounding them.
This will allow police officers to safely retrieve the drone for further investigation.
By rendering the drone inoperable, this technology ensures that the threat is swiftly neutralised before it can cause any harm.
The drone detection system suite, comprises a combination of detection sensors and high-resolution cameras that work in tandem to identify and track the flight path of drones from a considerable distance.
This advanced surveillance technology provides law enforcement agencies with the ability to detect suspicious drone activity in real-time.
By tracking the flight path and pinpointing the drone's operator, police can take pre-emptive measures to intervene and prevent potential security breaches.
