I don’t want it, why would I need it?
to find this single annoying mosquito at night when you just start to fall asleep!
Don’t forget to get an AA gun to eliminate the mosquito once the radar found it.
I want it, I’ll find something to do with it once I get one.
I figure you are not in a waar zone with a lot of suicide or grenade doing drones at the moment.
Even if I was a radar wouldn’t help me, I’d also need a system to shoot down the drones, a power supply, and a logistics network.
Honestly the home drone defense industry is very anti-consumer oriented. We need cheap afford AD guns and wifi enabled radar in the $1000 range or it’s just not practical for the average household.
I use OpenRadar paired with LibreAA guns. Requires a lot of configuration up front to get them working but they have a lot of power features plus I don’t have to pay a subscription for MS AntiDrone365
Never forget the power of free and open software when it comes to security
They should make another one to share. IDK why they would only make one to lord it over us. Oh, it’s the French. Then it makes sense.
I don’t get it?
No, you probably won’t get one.
This radar is unique only because it can accurately distinguish the difference between a bird or small drone. That’s likely due to software, not the hardware. The reason it’s desired is that it can match more expensive radars due to the price point, not due to capability. Software is not married to the hardware at all.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s a result of President Emmanuel Macron’s pressure to boost defense production in response to the war in Ukraine and the need to upgrade Europe’s militaries after years of neglect, as well as from rising demand across the world.
Thales — a company jointly controlled by the French state and fighter jet maker Dassault Aviation — is Europe’s radar leader and third in the world behind Lockheed Martin and Raytheon of the U.S.
With more than 1,100 employees, the Limours factory tests the radars’ antennas in blue-walled rooms designed to muffle echoes, before assembling them in a large area with a French flag and pictures of Ground Masters in action.
“We need a perfect synchronization of arrivals of equipment to avoid waste and wait,” said Eric Marceau, the vice president of strategy for the radar business.
Thales’ GM systems, which are mobile and usually mounted on trucks, have fully digital long-range radar able to identify targets ranging from very high to very low altitudes.
Thales’ air surveillance radars are also a key element of France’s recent push to deepen defense ties with countries previously under Russia’s grip.
