Neutralization of Malicious Drones: Groupe Gorgé is Innovating and Validates a Unique Technology to Locate Drone Operators

Business Wire
ECA Group, a Groupe Gorgé subsidiary specialized in robotics,
has developed innovative on-board technology for its IT180 drone.
This technology can locate malicious drone operators in under a
minute.
The prevention of unauthorized drone flights over sensitive
areas has become a national challenge. ECA Group, a leading
robotics company for more than thirty years and Groupe Gorgé
subsidiary, recently made a major contribution to this struggle by
developing a drone able to locate, identify and track offending
operators and aircraft.
The system was developed with a partner. It is based on the use
of ECA Group's IT180 drone, including several transponders. After
detecting the offending drone through land-based resources, the
strategy consists of activating the IT180 drone: first, it will
locate the operator using its on-board technology; second, it will
approach and identify the operator using its cameras.
Unlike the solutions available until now, which focus mainly on
the neutralization of drones in flight, ECA Group has developed a
solution that makes it impossible for malicious operators to
disappear. This new system enables security forces to approach them
discreetly and to catch them in the act of committing the offense,
while collecting all the evidence required for future
prosecution.
The system has already been assessed twice by French government
authorities, who were fully satisfied. It located and identified
operators within a 700-meter radius in under a minute after
detecting their drones in flight over a sensitive area.
