TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Army is seeking proposals for a portable anti-drone system as part of its defense innovation efforts.
According to a recent proposal in the government e-procurement system, the Army said the system must be capable of jamming and taking over Class I and II military drones and detecting the operator’s location, Liberty Times reported. The system must be lightweight and easy to set up.
Class I drones typically weigh less than 150 kg, which includes micro, mini, or small UAVs, according to Everglades University. Class II refers to any UAV that weighs between 150kg to 600kg and is designed for endurance and tactical maneuvers.
It should be able to operate across various terrains and weather conditions and must not interfere with other military communications, electronic equipment, or friendly drones.
Its battery life should support at least eight hours of continuous operation and handle at least 24 hours of continuous operation when plugged in.
The project reflects the military's push to integrate advanced technologies and collaborate with the private sector to enhance national defense capabilities, particularly in anti-drone warfare and urban combat preparedness, per Liberty Times.
