ReDrone | Elbit Systems
An End-to-End Operational Counter-UAS Defense Solution against all Drone Types
Today’s low-cost commercial drones and quadcopters deliver increasingly better performance, extended flight duration, longer ranges and expanded payload-carrying capabilities. These improvements have led to their accelerated use among terrorists and smugglers as well as delivery companies and hobbyists – each capable of causing significant damage, whether deliberate or unintentional.
In response, Elbit Systems EW & SIGINT – Elisra has developed the Counter-UAS ReDrone System that overcomes advances in drone technology and enables all threats to be quickly and thoroughly defeated – whenever and wherever they appear.
Designed for military, paramilitary, HLS and civilian uses, ReDrone enables the end-to-end defense of borders, airports, seaports, strategic facilities, public events, landmarks, prisons, military bases and military or VIP convoys and motorcades. ReDrone provides complete, multi-layered, multi-mission, and operationally-proven protection against the full spectrum of UAS threats across a wide range of scenarios. A unique set of seamlessly-integrated countermeasures detects, identifies, classifies, locates, tracks, neutralizes, manipulates and defeats multiple threats simultaneously, in urban and rural environments, day and night and in all weather conditions.
Modular, flexible and scalable, ReDrone can be precisely tailored to customer needs. The system is easily integrated with any architecture and can be installed on a variety of configurations – including mobile, stationary, portable, transportable or fixed. Requiring no special skills, ReDrone can be installed in less than 20 minutes by a single person.

- Military standard
Elbit Demonstrates its ReDrone C-UAS Systems in Eastern Israel
Israeli defense company Elbit Systems recently unveiled the formidable capabilities of its ReDrone Modular, Multi-Mission, Multi-Sensor Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) Solution. This cutting-edge system is designed to detect, identify, track, and neutralize drone threats effectively.
The demonstration, held in Eastern Israel, showcased the system’s prowess against various types of drones, including multi-rotor and fixed-wing UAVs. The ReDrone boasts a multi-layered defense mechanism, incorporating both soft-kill measures such as Jamming/Take-over and hard-kill measures like projectiles and missiles. This comprehensive approach ensures robust protection against UAS threats in diverse environments.
Officials from Elbit Systems highlighted the system’s versatility, emphasizing its ability to be deployed in mobile, portable, transportable, vehicular, or fixed configurations. This adaptability allows for seamless integration into a wide range of settings, including airports, ports, prisons, government facilities, borders, and military bases.
A key feature of the ReDrone is its SIGINT Passive RF Detection and DF subsystem, which utilizes fast wideband SDR receivers and DF antenna arrays to detect drones within an impressive range of up to 8 km with 360° coverage. This capability enables the system to identify and classify detected drones based on their transmission protocols, including popular ones like DJI Lightbridge and DJI OcuSync.
Elbit Systems has developed a proprietary Smart Machine algorithm that can identify unknown drone RF transmissions, enhancing the system’s effectiveness against evolving threats. The system’s RF Jamming subsystem employs a combination of wideband SDR units and high-power amplifiers to neutralize communication between the drone and its operator, as well as its navigation system (GNSS). This capability disrupts hostile drones’ ability to carry out their missions effectively.
The ReDrone’s radar, operating in the X-Band (9-10 GHz), utilizes advanced Software Defined AESA technology equipped with Artificial Intelligence capabilities. This radar system can detect, identify, and track thousands of objects simultaneously, including agile, compact targets, with real-time performance.
