Invisible Interdiction has launched the second of the Ghoul Tool line of drone countermeasures for military, law enforcement, and counter-terror forces.
The GTFS works by breaking the command and control or navigation radio links between the drone pilot and the aircraft. Key differentiators quoted by the company include:
• Power: One MBITR Li-ion battery provides 2+ hours of continuous operation
• Very easy, one-hand operation, can still operate primary weapon with other hand
• Optional field programmable bands
• HERO, HERP, HERF certified
• Size: 20”L x 7.5”H x 5”W
• Weight: 5 pounds
In May 2019 the company announced it has been awarded a contract to design, test and qualify a very small, lightweight rail-mounted C-UAS jamming module. According to the company: “This Phase 3 contract is the result of a Special Topic SBIR award originally envisioned by the Air Force’s Las Vegas-based innovation hub called AFWERX. Several barriers to working with the Air Force were removed including a shorter application process, an accelerated contract award and a shorter period of performance. This effort started in the fall of 2018 in response to the Air Force’s pursuit of innovative counter-drone technologies. Invisible Interdiction submitted a concept that was selected and proven feasible late last year. This UAS denial system will be similar in size and weight to existing rail-mounted aiming lasers that are mounted on the Picatinny rail of issued shotguns or M4 rifles.”
