Kongsberg’s mobile drone radar becomes operational in five minutes during Interpol detection test at Gardermoen Airport

Kongsberg demonstrated its DR 100 mobile drone-detection radar at an Interpol counter-UAS test at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, reporting that the system became operational within five minutes of arrival. Four radars mounted on a deployable pickup were linked to the exercise control centre through a secure 5G connection for real-time detection, tracking and classification. Kongsberg says the DR 100 can operate while moving and detect low-altitude targets without the filtering used by some conventional surveillance radars. The exercise assessed sensing and data delivery only; electronic jamming, interceptor drones and other defeat mechanisms were outside its scope.
