Counter Drone Testing Range
Remote test range supporting counter UAS trials, drone detection systems and radar testing.
Denis Ferranti Range provides a remote environment suitable for the testing and evaluation of counter drone technologies.
The scale and isolation of the range allow defence organisations to conduct detection trials, sensor calibration and interception testing with minimal external interference.
The terrain allows testing of radar detection systems, RF monitoring equipment and counter drone technologies across varied line of sight conditions. The freshwater loch also provides a controlled area where test equipment or aerial targets can be recovered following trials.
Typical counter drone testing activities include drone detection trials, RF jamming evaluation, sensor calibration and air defence technology testing.
Our Capability
Drone Detection
Target Tracking
Mitigation Systems
The range supports testing of systems used to detect UAV presence across open terrain. This includes radar and sensor based technologies.
Large areas allow evaluation of detection range and system reliability.
Tracking systems can be tested to monitor drone movement and behaviour. This supports development of tracking accuracy and response time.
Real flight scenarios provide meaningful data for system refinement.
Counter drone technologies can be evaluated for response effectiveness. This includes systems designed to neutralise or disrupt UAV activity.
Testing in controlled conditions allows safe assessment of system performance.
