DZYNE's new vehicle kit finds drone operators up to 34 km away

DZYNE Technologies has unveiled a vehicle-mounted counter-UAS detection kit capable of locating drone operators at ranges up to 34 km. The system uses passive radio frequency detection to geolocate UAS ground control stations, enabling forces to target operators rather than just the drone itself. The vehicle-mounted form factor allows mobile deployment with ground maneuver elements, a significant tactical advantage over fixed counter-drone installations. This capability addresses a key gap in defeating drone threats by attacking the kill chain at the operator node.
