S-1 said on the 2nd that its integrated security system, the "anti-drone solution," which detects and neutralizes illegal drone intrusions in real time, is drawing attention.
The S-1 anti-drone solution provides illegal intrusion detection and real-time tracking using a radio frequency (RF) scanner and radar, flight pattern and shape analysis using drone-detection artificial intelligence (AI) video analytics, and real-time neutralization of illegal drones using frequency interference technology.
The anti-drone solution combines an RF scanner and radar to build an automated monitoring system. Previously, detection relied only on radar to spot flying objects, which reduced accuracy, but the company said it enhanced detection performance by adding an RF scanner that captures communication signals between the drone and the controller. When the RF scanner detects a drone intrusion via communication signals, the radar tracks its location, speed, and direction in real time, enabling fast and accurate initial response without operator intervention.
It also overcomes the limitations of standard CCTV through an electro-optical (EO) camera that can clearly capture small drones several kilometers away with high-magnification optical zoom, and an infrared (IR) camera that detects motor heat, allowing drone tracking at night or in bad weather. Standard CCTV lacks high-magnification zoom, making it unable to clearly capture small drones at long distances, and without a heat-detection sensor, detection is difficult at night or in bad weather.
In particular, the anti-drone solution can instantly neutralize drones with frequency interference technology. It disrupts communications between the drone and the controller to send it back to its point of origin or force it to land at a safe location. This method remotely controls the drone without dispatching personnel.
A S-1 official said, "If illegal drones threaten airports, ports, and nuclear power plants, it can pose a serious security risk that paralyzes key social infrastructure and public services as a whole," adding, "We will do our best to protect safety across society by adding a solution that integrates advanced technologies such as AI to the know-how we have built over more than 40 years in physical security and facility management in the private and public sectors."
