Greece has secretly implemented a “veritable umbrella against enemy unmanned aerial vehicles” over islands and other important sites across the country during the past two months, says an article published by the Greek daily Kathimerini and reported in UAS Vision.
The system uses Israeli technology to blind drones and disrupt their flight plans.
Built by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Drone Dome, as the name suggests, specializes in countering enemy drones. It can neutralize drones by jamming their communications and GPS. For fully autonomous drones, it uses an invisible 10-kilowatt laser that can down drones up to two miles away, says the article.
Rafael offers its clients customized versions of the system, as it has most likely done in this case for Greece.
