That’s how incredible the work of SkyWall, a very advanced weapon for catching drones, is.

Drones have become a major threat in many cases due to the ease with which a given space can be accessed. This is a technology that also includes many innovations over the past few years, so it’s even more dangerous. Whether it’s maintaining privacy in a certain area or simply guarding the airspace in plain sight, sometimes it’s good to know how to neutralize them.

As you improve technologies present in these drones, systems have been revamped to prevent their use. The police of many countries have seized units from both opposing markets in order to permanently control the sky. NATO’s latest visit to Spain allowed us to see how some of the security forces are carrying increasingly used weapons.

SkyWall is a technology that, despite being somewhat outdated, has proven to be effective for use at certain times. Subsequently, even more advanced solutions appeared, such as the preferred weapon of the Spanish National Police. This is a kind of gun that directly sends out a wave that allows you to take control of the drone. This is, no doubt, a differential evolution distinguished by its efficiency.

SkyWall, the original weapon for catching drones with a net

The operation of the SkyWall is very simple, since a pistol is enough, which, instead of launching a bullet, hits send the target to the network. This technology stands out in that it provides different performance in all situations. You just need to aim directly at where the drone is and pull the trigger. The ammo will automatically fire, which consist of a web that automatically deploys in an area near your target.

This is a method that makes it easy to catch drones, mainly due to the effectiveness of this technology. Without being very advanced in terms of technology, it allows you to enjoy great performance with its drone configuration. Given that we are dealing with a proposal designed primarily to expose its rotors and associated propellers, it seems clear that these components are entangled in a ball of fabric.

As expected, drones are completely immobilized, causing them to immediately fall to the ground. The main problem with these systems is that, as is logical, they often fail due to the failure itself. This has resulted in the anti-drone technology program becoming specialized in recent years. The proposed solution was to replace the network with a laser wave, allowing the drone to be remotely controlled.

HIKVISION, a much less intrusive suggestion

This new technology allows you to enjoy a much more interesting tool in terms of innovation. Thanks to the new attachment weapon, you can intercept drones without the need to disable them for the fall In addition, bullet paper has been eliminated, so its maintenance and use over time will not incur additional costs. Based on this, what can we highlight in this new configuration?

With this new technology, a laser wave directed at the drone, in particular, allows you to gain control drone completely remotely. This is a much more interesting proposal than the previous one, which explains the importance that this new surveillance system has acquired. This is an alternative that offers a more interesting solution in terms of security, since there is no risk of the drone falling.

This latest technology should nullify the first proposal in the medium term as it is less invasive, the effects are much more effective and no risk of accident during the interception. The key to Hikvision pistols is, without a doubt, the ability to take control of the drone and guide it to a safe area. Thus, in addition, there is a much better chance of identifying the person who controls it.
