Handheld Anti-Drone System

A handheld anti-drone system is a portable, operator-carried device designed to detect, disrupt, or defeat unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles at close to medium range without requiring vehicle-mounted or fixed installation infrastructure. These systems typically function by emitting directed radio frequency jamming signals across the control and navigation frequency bands used by commercial and modified consumer drones, severing the communication link between the UAV and its ground controller and simultaneously disrupting GPS and GLONASS navigation signals to force the drone into a failsafe response such as hovering in place, returning to its launch point, or initiating a controlled descent.

Frequency coverage on professional handheld anti-drone systems spans bands including 433 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz for drone control link disruption, combined with GPS L1 at 1575.42 MHz and GLONASS L1 at 1602 MHz for navigation signal denial. Effective jamming range varies by output power and antenna configuration, with most shoulder-fired handheld units achieving reliable disruption at distances between 300 and 1,500 meters under open-sky conditions. Total system weight including battery pack ranges from 3.5 kg to 7 kg depending on the number of frequency bands covered and antenna array size. Operating time on a single battery charge typically falls between 1 and 3 hours of continuous transmission.

In Pakistan, handheld anti-drone systems are deployed by VIP protection details, counter-terrorism units, military checkpoint security teams, prison perimeter security personnel, and critical infrastructure protection forces at facilities including power plants, airports, and government compounds where unauthorized drone activity presents surveillance, smuggling, or attack risks.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies handheld anti-drone systems to authorized security and defense operators requiring portable counter-UAV capability for personnel and facility protection across Pakistan.
