5 Drone Defense Myths That Wipe Out Your Budgets
Keeping rogue UAVs far away from your premises is a resource-intensive task. But it can also become even more costly when you’re led by the wrong assumptions. If you’re shopping around for new counter-UAS tech or testing an existing anti-drone defense system, here are five myths that might be quietly draining budgets and creating risk.
Myth 1: “One sensor will cover everything.”
Single-sensor drone defence systems (e.g., one fancy radar or one RF detector) look cheaper at first…until you wake up to missed approaches or a barrage of false alarms. Real threat actors exploit gaps: low-RCS visual approaches evade some radars, RF-silent autonomy can bypass RF detectors, and EO/IR struggles in poor visibility.
A better approach? Design layered detection (radar...
