Fractal Antenna Systems has unveiled its innovative JERECHO acoustic array platform, marking a major advancement in non-kinetic counter-drone technology. Unlike traditional systems that rely on jamming radios or deploying kinetic interceptors, JERECHO transforms sound into a tactical tool. By using precisely directed acoustic energy, the platform can detect, disrupt, or neutralize unmanned aerial systems and other electronic threats on the battlefield.
The system is designed as a flexible, low-collateral solution, offering significant advantages in sensitive or densely populated environments. Its acoustic-based operation makes it suitable for urban security, protection of critical infrastructure, and missions where minimizing risk to civilians and surrounding equipment is essential. This positions JERECHO as a strong alternative for agencies and militaries seeking effective yet controlled counter-UAS options.
At the core of the platform is Fractal Antenna Systems’ specialized fractal-array architecture. This design allows operators to shape and steer how sound waves travel through the atmosphere, enabling precise targeting of acoustic energy. By manipulating wave patterns, the system can focus detection beams or deliver disruption effects directly onto drone threats.
As drone activity and electronic warfare challenges continue to rise worldwide, acoustic solutions such as JERECHO are emerging as a new frontier in defense technology. Fractal Antenna Systems’ breakthrough demonstrates how advanced sound-based tools may play a critical role in future battlefield operations, providing militaries and security forces with safer, scalable, and non-destructive counter-drone capabilities.
