Unlike traditional technologies, MM-Imager is a passive solution that does not emit any wave, it is therefore completely harmless to people.
- DNA Drone is a complete solution for detection, identification and neutralization of UAV threats. It is composed of three complementary technological blocks that can work together or in stand-alone configuration : o a brand new type 4D THz radar specifically designed for drone detection, o a radio-frequency sensor based on artificial intelligence to detect the drone and its pilot o jamming devices, MAJES and/or NEROD, for drone neutralization.
