EPERVIER — Anti-Drone
Supports development of portable anti-drone systems for critical security operations.
EPERVIER is an anti-drone call for projects launched by the Agence de l'innovation de défense (AID), the French Ministry of Armed Forces' defence innovation agency. The call targets detection and neutralisation of FPV racing drones — specifically 6-inch or larger racer drones capable of exceeding 100 km/h, including fiber-optic-controlled or autonomous variants. AID seeks innovative solutions cove…
Anti-drone solutions against 6-inch+ FPV racer drones exceeding 100 km/h. Methods: destruction, capture, jamming, spoofing. Range: 15+ metres. Must be portable.
