Therefore, gaining the means for both employing and defending against drone weapons is a matter of urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pakistan\u2019s New C-UAS Offerings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On this front, a joint-venture between two key Pakistani SOEs \u2013 i.e., the Defence Science and Technology Organization (DESTO) and the National Electronics Complex of Pakistan (NECOP) \u2013 is playing a leading role in developing original C-UAS systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DESTO has developed vehicle-mounted and portable C-UAS systems capable of radio-frequency (RF) detection and jamming as well as GPS spoofing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NECOP focused on the development and production of a portfolio of C-UAS \u2018guns\u2019 as well as radars (for tracking UAVs). The latter will be integrated onto DESTO\u2019s systems in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DESTO-SPIDER-01-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14632\" title=\"DESTO SPIDER 01 - Quwa - Quwa\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DESTO SPIDER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed by DESTO and commercially marketed by Global Industrial and Defence Solutions (GIDS), the SPIDER seems to be a medium-range C-UAS system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It leverages a Hino 300 as a platform to house an operator cabin for command-and-control (C2), a power-generation set, and an assortment of C-UAS systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The C-UAS systems incorporate two different RF detection and direction-finding systems mounted onto masts, both of which allow for passive detection of primarily category-1 and category-2 UAVs (corresponding to loitering munitions and medium-altitude long-endurance drones, respectively) at distances of beyond 10 km. A \u2018passive\u2019 sensor typically monitors an area for radio emissions from communications links, radars, and satellite links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/DESTO-SPIDER-Arrays.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a DESTO SPIDER array.\" class=\"wp-image-14639\" title=\"DESTO SPIDER Arrays - Quwa - Quwa\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The RF detection suite is paired with multi-band antennas that can jam both RF signals as well as GPS\/GNSS signals past 10 km, but also spoof GNSS\/GPS signals at a range of over 10 km. What this means is that the SPIDER can interfere with communications data-links connecting drones or munitions to their operators as well as satellite-navigation\/location systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it seems that a Chinese-origin short-range electro-optical and infrared (EO\/IR) detection system is also integrated to the SPIDER. This offers the SPIDER\u2019s operators to visually identify, detect, and track UAV threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/quwa.org\/pakistan-defence-news\/industry-report-pakistani-anti-drone-solutions-12-15-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/quwa.org\/pakistan-defence-news\/industry-report-pakistani-anti-drone-solutions-12-15-2024\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s state-owned enterprises (SOE) have shown significant strides in their efforts to develop counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) solutions.
