I wonder if it has the same effect on all brands of commercial drones and what about drones built especially for the military?
However, I do not believe the Hype in the video…
The Pulsar-L disables drones by disrupting their radio communication with their operators, essentially “drowning out” the signals that control the drone’s flight. They do that through electronic warfare (EW) techniques, where the Pulsar-L emits electromagnetic noise on the frequencies used by drones for communication, preventing the operator from sending commands or receiving information from the drone.
I would expect the drones to simply hover until the battery runs out, power down and land, or perform a Return to Home…
I am not aware of any drone the shuts down when it loses its signal and just crashes into the ground…
One other side point, those actors probably never had any real military service. They had no “Sense of Urgency” (a disable vehicle in hostile territory…), my wife can change a tire faster than that….
If those were DJI drones, then yes, I believe that’s exactly what would have happened. It’s possible the drones used in that test (which they claim was real) didn’t have the same level of intelligent features built in.
