Wearable Counter-Drone System Launched for On-the-Move Detection

DZYNE Technologies has unveiled its Dronebuster® Detect, Track, Identify, Mitigate (DTIM) Kit at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) in the UAE. 

The Dronebuster DTIM Kit is an American-made, electronic attack counter-drone system available with an optional position, navigation, and timing (PNT) capability to combat GNSS-enabled drones.

This compact, lightweight, and portable system kit upgrades the Dronebuster defeat system by incorporating a wearable detection and identification capability without compromising agility or maneuverability in the field.

Designed for tactical flexibility and operational adaptability, the kit provides everything a soldier needs to detect, track, identify, and mitigate drone threats in real-time in a lightweight (<4kg), easily maneuverable solution.

The Dronebuster DTIM Kit includes:

• Dronebuster Mitigation System to effectively neutralize drones. Two variants are available: the Dronebuster 4 and Dronebuster 4-EU, the latter designed to add jamming for the European short range device band. Both variants offer an optional PNT attack capability for advanced mitigation against autonomous drones.

• Dronebuster DTI System for advanced detection, tracking, and identification. The system provides a user-friendly interface with an integrated Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) display, a built-in GPS, and support for external accessories like headsets, ensuring seamless operation in the field.

Key Features of the Dronebuster DTIM Kit

The Dronebuster DTIM Kit combines cutting-edge detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation capabilities in a user-friendly, wearable format. 

Detection
The DTI antenna system detects drones from up to 7 kilometers away across a broad spectrum (400 MHz to 6 GHz). DTI employs omnidirectional antennas, providing on-the-move solutions for soldiers, with real-time haptic, aural, and visual feedback, ensuring optimal mobility and operational efficiency in the field.

Tracking
With enhanced tracking capabilities, the DTI works with its interface to pinpoint drones’ exact locations using Remote ID and AeroScope. It provides precise bearings through RF direction-finding technology, which eliminates the need for full 360° rotation.

Data is seamlessly displayed on a TAK (Tactical Assault Kit) device or the built in LCD, enabling frontline soldiers to make fast, informed decisions during dynamic combat scenarios and accurately deploy mitigation measures.

Identification
Featuring a robust drone library updated quarterly and AI/ML-powered algorithms, the system identifies drones comfortably and intuitively without requiring mode switches, allowing soldiers to remain focused on their mission.

Mitigation
The proven Dronebuster mitigation system, with over 2000 sold throughout the world, is one of the only handheld systems with a PNT Attack mode (spoofing) to counter autonomous drones.

The DTIM Kit provides a complete solution to an individual operator to defend themselves against hostile drones. The individual is given the ability to detect and identify drones. It will then provide tracking information to allow the operator to disregard the threat or neutralize it using the Dronebuster.

Matthew McCue, CEO of DZYNE Technologies, commented, “Our Dronebuster DTIM Kit represents a leap forward in C-sUAS technology. It’s not just a detection system, it’s a full-spectrum solution that empowers operators to neutralize threats in real-time, ensuring battlefield superiority in an era where drones pose an ever-growing risk.”
