FPV Drones: The Nightmare of Individual
2025-04-02 15:21
FPV (First Person View) drones, with theirlow cost, high maneuverability, strong lethality, and difficulty in countering,are becoming a key weapon on the modern battlefield. However, single pawn facessignificant challenges in countering FPV drones, primarily due to the followingthree factors:
1. Limited Load Capacity of Single pawn,Making It Difficult to Carry Effective Countermeasures
A single soldier on the battlefield istypically burdened with personal weapons, ammunition, protective gear,communication equipment, and more, often nearing their load limits. Accordingto U.S. military statistics, the average infantry soldier carries a load ofapproximately 30-40 kg, with special forces exceeding 50 kg during prolongedmissions. If soldiers are required to carry additional anti-drone equipment,such as jamming guns or signal blockers, it would not only increase theirburden but also severely impact their tactical mobility.
Moreover, FPV drones can strike at extremelyhigh speeds, requiring soldiers to remain in constant combat readiness. Ifcountermeasure devices are too bulky or require two-handed operation, they canhinder soldiers' ability to engage other targets. For example, in the Ukrainianconflict, FPV suicide drones have attacked at speeds exceeding 200 km/h,resulting in significant casualties among soldiers who were unable to deploycountermeasures in time.
2. Frequency Hopping and Spread SpectrumTechnologies of FPV Drones Make Jamming Highly Challenging
Traditional radio jamming relies onfixed-frequency jamming (VCO). However, modern FPV drones commonly employfrequency hopping (FHSS) and spread spectrum (DSSS) technologies, rapidlyswitching between multiple frequency bands to reduce susceptibility to jamming.For instance:
- The TBS Crossfire remote control systemcan switch between 868MHz and 915MHz.
- The DJI OcuSync 4.0 video transmissionsystem supports multi-band operation at 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz, and 5.8GHz.
To effectively jam FPV drones, the power ofthe jamming signal needs to be 100 to 200 times that of the control signal.This requires infantry to carry high-power jamming equipment, such as:
- The Russian "Stupor" anti-dronegun ( 6 kg ).
- The NATO DroneGun Tactical ( 7.5 kg ).
Such weight is impractical for infantry,and the battery life of these devices is usually less than 30 minutes, far from meeting battlefield demands.
3.Rapid Iteration of Drones, Making Traditional Countermeasures Obsolete
Modern drones evolve rapidly, especially onthe front lines, where FPV drones are often used as disposable weapons,resulting in high attrition rates and short iteration cycles.
For example:
- Thousands of drones are lost monthly inthe Ukrainian conflict, leading to the continuous emergence of new anti-jamming and electronic warfare-resistant technologies.
- The U.S. military's"Dronebuster" jamming gun, introduced in 2017, was found ineffectiveagainst the latest FPV drones by 2022.
- Russia's "Silok-01" electronicwarfare system, deployed in 2020, was discovered to be ineffective against thenew generation of DJI FPV drones in 2023.
With FPV drones costing only $300-$1,000,adversaries can quickly replace and upgrade their drones, while infantrycountermeasure equipment cannot be updated as frequently, creating a"technological gap" that further diminishes countermeasure effectiveness.
A New Hope for Single pawn Anti-DroneOperations——AT-623 FPV Killer
In response to the challenges faced byinfantry, AWP has introduced the AT-623 FPV Killer, a portable anti-FPV dronedevice designed specifically for Single pawn .
Core Advantages of the AT-623 FPV Killer:
- Comprehensive FPV Drone Countermeasures:Utilizes SDR (Software-Defined Radio) technology to jam mainstream flightcontrol protocols such as ELRS and TBS Crossfire, causing FPV drones to lose control and crash.
- Lightweight Design for Infantry Portability: The main unit weighs only 1.6 kg, allowing soldiers to deploy countermeasures with a single button, without complex operations.
- High Endurance: Powered by standardlithium batteries, the device supports quick battery replacement, ensuring sustained operational capability on the battlefield.
- Remote Upgrades to Adapt to DroneTechnology Changes: The device can receive remote firmware updates to keep pacewith the rapid evolution of drone technology.
FPV drones are becoming a"killer" on the modern battlefield, posing an increasingly severethreat to infantry. Due to load limitations, the difficulty of jamming, and therapid iteration of drones, single pawn struggles to effectively counter FPVdrones. The AT-623 FPV Killer, as a new countermeasure tool, offers frontlinesoldiers effective, reliable, and enduring protection.
