By taking the above into consideration, ELTA Systems has developed the new and enhanced configuration of its Drone Guard system. As already mentioned, in addition to the current radar, electro-optical and jamming capabilities a hostile threat can now also be detected, classified, identified through the newly integrated enhanced COMINT system. The system can effectively jam or disrupt the drone's control channel and navigation, by supporting an array of communication protocols, which can be an effective defence against a single drone or even a couple of drones.
