The drones of today are not the drones of yesterday. With ever-improving technology, these unmanned aircraft are impressive both for their maneuverability and range of capabilities.
Its Goshawk drone – a counter-UAS (unmanned aircraft system) designed to detect, track and destroy other craft – bears the name of a bird of prey that grapples its enemies mid-flight.
This fully autonomous aircraft sits in what Robotican calls a “smart nest,” a metal box-like device, waiting for its opportunity to strike.
“Once the radar gets the signal that a hostile drone has infiltrated the no-fly zone, the Goshawk nest opens and it will take flight, chase the drone and catch it,” Shmaya Bender, business development and customer success manager at Robotican, tells NoCamels.
According to Robotican, the Goshawk has already intercepted more than 250 enemy drones.
To bring down its enemy, the Goshawk flies above the hostile drone and fires out a net to ensnare it. If the hostile drone is too heavy or if the Goshawk senses other threats, the net is sent plummeting to the ground with its victim trapped inside. Otherwise, it bears it safely to earth unharmed.
