Effectors, specified as openly as sensors
Complete counter-drone architectures include a mitigation layer. We specify ours with the same openness as our sensors — because informed discussion beats marketing, and because deployment of every effector class is conditional on law and licensing.
Selection logic
Effector choice is scenario law: around crowds, only net capture is acceptable; around fuel and munitions, no falling debris can be tolerated; on open military terrain, microwave and laser cover what jamming cannot. The tables below are the complete specification set.
All effector classes are cued by the detection layer: radar at up to 6 km and EO at 3 km provide the fire-control-grade coordinates that make directed energy and jamming effective, and the command layer records every engagement for assessment and evidence.

Detection cueing shared across the family: radar ≥3–6 km, EO 3 km. Typical lead times T0+6 to T0+12 months depending on configuration.
Effector FAQ
Are these systems available for export?
Each class is assessed against the PRC dual-use export-control list and destination end-user rules. Some configurations require export licenses; some destinations we decline outright. Ask with your end use stated plainly — you will get a plain answer.
Which effector fits a civilian venue?
Net capture, almost always: it brings the drone down intact with no debris and no electromagnetic side effects. Jamming is the second choice where lawful; directed energy is a military-class answer and is never our recommendation around civilians.
How are effectors aimed?
Exclusively by the detection layer: radar finds at kilometers, EO confirms and tracks, and the command layer passes fire-control coordinates. Effectors are the last link of a sensing chain, not standalone gadgets.
