Independent counter-drone advisory for police, prison services and armed forces

In Hungary, the authorities are the ones who may lawfully carry out active drone mitigation. The market, meanwhile, is full of contradictory vendor claims: ranges that only hold on ideal terrain, and "do-everything" systems that fail in an urban radio environment.

Use cases

• Event policing and patrol
• Protected persons and venues
• Prisons – contraband delivery by drone
• Military sites and border areas
• Airport incident response

What we provide

Independent technical advice – not vendor sales. Licensed equipment is procured through authorised suppliers; we help the buyer make the best decision:

• vendor-neutral market and technology overview
• requirements derived from real operational scenarios
• field-test methodology and evaluation criteria
• integration with existing command-and-control systems
• operator training materials and procedures

Evaluation criteria that matter

• Probability of detection and false alarm rate in a real environment – not in the brochure
• Deployability – minutes to operational, number of operators
• Collateral effects – how much mitigation interferes with surrounding GNSS, mobile and Wi-Fi traffic
• Directionality – targeted or omnidirectional effect
• Logging and evidence handling
• Operator workload and training needs
• Upgradability – keeping up with new drone protocols and FPV bands

Hungarian law enforcement research has already published field evaluations of portable RF mitigation devices in Budapest (Magyar Rendészet, 2024/4). It matches our experience: a field test at your own site tells you more than any datasheet. Detection range: datasheet vs. reality
