droneBattelle aims to build a third version of the nonprofit’s rifle-like device that works to jam GPS and command-and-control and GPS systems used to fly unmanned aircraft systems, IHS Jane’s 360 reported Tuesday.

Geoff Fein writes the current DroneDefender system is powered by a nearly 10-pound battery inside a backpack and designed to neutralize UAS that weighs less than 55 pounds and operates at a speed of less than 250 knots.

Battelle showcased the technology during the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space symposium that was held May 16 to 18 in Maryland.

“We are moving toward a next generation system that won’t need a backpack,” Kimberly Stambler, business development and sales leader at Battelle, was quoted as saying by IHS Jane’s 360.

“It will be a fully contained unit with all the electronics and battery contained in the rifle stock,” Stambler added, according to the report.

The report said Battelle aims to unveil an updated DroneDefender by the end of 2016.
