Drone Association President Reveals Insights into Next-Gen "Kamikaze Drones" as Anti-Drone Tech May Become Ineffective
At a time when border situations demand high vigilance, understanding "drone" technology has become crucial. Recently, the Phutta Talk program held a special interview with Mr. Jorawat Chatanurak, President of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Association of Thailand, regarding the threat of "Kamikaze Drones" equipped with RPG warheads and the "wired" technology that is difficult to defend against.
Side-by-Side Comparison: Wireless vs Fiber Optic Systems
- Controlled via Radio Frequency / RF
- Operating Range: 500 - 800 meters
- Common standard configuration
- Tethered via fiber optic cable (like a wired internet line)
- Operating range up to: 30 kilometers
- Technology derived from the Russia-Ukraine war
The Solution When Jammers Fail: The Association President stated that for wired drones, physical countermeasures are required, specifically "deploying nets" around key areas. Since RPG warheads rely on impact to detonate, if they are caught in a net without hitting the ground, the explosive will not trigger.
