The possibility of using these electronic devices above a crowd creates fears among management, who wonder how to detect and neutralize them without causing damage.
Also they military consider that the massive use of these represents a new dangeras demonstrated during the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in 2020 or in Ukraine, where commercial drones are used to recognize or target targets.
France seeks to fight drones
Protecting oneself against technology of this dimension, whose number in France has risen from 400,000 to 2.5 million in five years, is a “mission (almost) impossible”stated a group of deputies in a report published last year.
As a sign of urgency, the Ministry of the Armed Forces must receive the first six Parade anti-drone systems at the beginning of the year, nine months after the award of the contract, worth 350 million euros (a similar amount in dollars) over eleven years.
Awarded to the Thales and CS groups, Parade is “optimized for the detection and neutralization of micro and mini drones (from 100 grams to 25 kilos), but can do more”explained Thierry Bon, director of the fight against drones at Thales, during a demonstration at the former Brétigny air base, in the Paris region.

In a single interface managed by an operator data from a tripod-mounted radar is mergedthe radiogoniometers that track the drone by the waves it emits and the optical and infrared cameras.
The radar is capable of detecting a drone up to 5 kilometers away.
Once the camera automatically detects and tracks the device, the operator manages to activate an inhibitor two kilometers from the object and forces it to land or return to a predefined point.
