Why China Is Not Afraid of FPV Threats
2025-02-13 15:31
TheRussia-Ukraine war has demonstrated that, in addition to the traditional andexpensive drone systems, low-cost and easily manufactured FPV drones pose asignificant threat to ground targets such as armored vehicles and infantry.These drones have become a normalized air-to-ground strike force in landwarfare, with substantial deployment by combatants.
Incertain localized combat scenarios, FPV drones can swarm in large numbers,sometimes exceeding the number of personnel engaged in the conflict, creating atypical scene of modern land warfare.
Inresponse to the rise of FPV drones, the Zhuhai Airshow in China showcased arange of counter-FPV "black technologies," including SDR (SoftwareDefined Radio) technology. Unlike traditional methods that suppress dronesthrough power, SDR technology uses algorithms for precise jamming,significantly reducing both the power consumption and size of the equipment.Moreover, SDR technology allows for remote updates of countermeasures to combatthe ever-evolving FPV threats.
Currently,China's counter-drone technology has transitioned from an era of "power rules" to one of " algorithm rules." At this year's Zhuhai Airshow,five key scenarios for countering FPV drones were introduced, along with asignificant service based on SDR technology:
First,for urban areas that require countermeasures, directional jamming electronicwalls/electronic fences (ewalls) can be established to prevent drones fromcrossing while not affecting normal wireless communication inside and outsidethe area, nor impacting the lives of nearby residents.
Second,there are countermeasures for individual soldiers against FPV drones. Asoldier's carrying capacity is limited, making it impossible to transport largecounter-drone equipment. Therefore, there is a need for lighter and moreefficient individual counter-FPV devices to ensure the safety of soldiers.
Third,there are countermeasures for teams and urban scenarios against FPV and UAVs.In this scenario, specific drones can be targeted and shot down within acertain range, and the equipment is easy to carry and has a broader operationalrange.
Fourth,countermeasures for vehicles against FPV and UAV. As a large and obvioustarget, vehicles require a counter-drone system with broader coverage, longerendurance, and more comprehensive system.
Fifth,low-altitude defense for the petrochemical industry. For specialized sites likethe petrochemical industry, there is a need for stable counter-drone systemsthat operate 24 hours a day, capable of long-range detection and jamming, aswell as effectively identifying and managing both intruding drones andoperational drones.
Additionally,the Zhuhai Airshow introduced the Transmaker service, based on a remarkable SDRmodule. With this module, effective counter-drone devices can be producedanywhere in the world, and software updates can be conducted remotely andinstantly. This service is expected to save over 86% in investment and willrapidly stimulate the local manufacturing industry.
With theadvancement of drone technology, particularly FPV technology, China’scounter-drone capabilities are already at the forefront globally. In thefuture, we can expect to see even more innovative counter-drone devices fromChina that surpass our expectations.
