New technologies of warfare can turn against those who use them. The Israeli company D-Fend Solutions has developed the EnforceAir system, capable of hacking enemy drones and redirecting them, forcing them to attack their own territories, the Interesting Engineering portal writes.
The article says that the new development acts as an anti-drone: it detects drones in a given area, identifies them and neutralizes the threat by intercepting control. After that, the device is forcibly planted in the specified location or redirected to a new target. The system operates in automatic or manual mode, does not require direct visibility of the intercepted object and does not cause interference, which allows you to maintain communication and avoid emergency situations.
The device can be mounted on a tripod, a vehicle, or even carried in a backpack. It operates on the basis of radio frequency cyber intrusion, providing detection and control of drones at a distance of up to 4.5 km. The latest version, EnforceAir 2, is characterized by increased power and even more compact dimensions, and its marine modification is adapted for use in harsh climatic conditions.

The article claims that recent tests have confirmed the effectiveness of the technology: the test drone was intercepted within seconds of entering the controlled area. According to the developers, the safe landing of someone else's device makes it possible to study it, and if there is no interest in the design of the UAV, it can always be "returned to the owner."

The marine version of the system, EnforceAir2 Maritime, is equipped with a broadband all-round antenna and is compatible with shipboard air defense systems. It protects ships and crews from intruding drones without interfering with navigation.
