Rohde & Schwarz has announced an upcoming webinar titled “Counter Drone Solutions in Military Scenarios: Focus on RF/DF Solutions for Naval Applications,” scheduled for March 5, 2026, with two sessions scheduled at 9:00 AM CET and 5:00 PM CET. The session will address the growing threat posed by drones in complex naval operating environments and explore advanced RF and direction-finding (DF) technologies for maritime defense applications.
As the proliferation of unmanned aerial systems continues to escalate, naval vessels face increasing risks ranging from surveillance and espionage to direct attack. The webinar will examine how adaptable countermeasures and spectrum awareness are becoming essential components of modern naval defense strategies.
During the session, Rohde & Schwarz experts Martin Herzer and Gary Walker will provide insights into RF-based detection and direction-finding techniques designed specifically for naval platforms. The discussion will highlight how RF sensors offer a critical advantage in identifying drones operating beyond common ISM frequency bands, supporting early detection and threat classification.
Key topics will include the following:
- Evolving threat landscape: Drones pose risks ranging from espionage to direct attack, requiring adaptable countermeasures.
- RF & DF superiority: RF sensors provide a critical advantage, particularly for detecting drones operating outside common ISM bands.
- Multi-layered defense: Effective C-UAS necessitates a combination of sensors, including both soft-kill (jamming/spoofing) and hard-kill capabilities on hybrid platforms.
- System integration complexity: Successful integration requires careful planning to address space constraints, power requirements, and compatibility with existing naval systems.
- Spectrum dominance: R&S end-to-end signal expertise provides unparalleled capabilities for detecting, analyzing, and mitigating drone threats across all relevant frequencies.
Additionally, Rohde & Schwarz will outline how end-to-end signal expertise across the RF spectrum enhances the ability to detect, analyze, and mitigate drone threats across relevant frequency ranges. Registration is open for participants interested in gaining deeper insight into RF-based counter-drone solutions for naval applications.
