Radosław Piesiewicz, CEO of the firm APS, told Poland's PAP news agency that the multi-sensory system developed by the company “is dedicated to the protection of sites including airports, refineries, government buildings, stadiums and also private facilities.”
He added: "All of the technology we worked out from start to finish ourselves and it was based on Polish technological concepts."
The innovative radar-equipped system can detect small drones both at night and during the day up to one kilometre away. Larger drones can be spotted at further distances.
Drones can be stopped in their tracks by jamming their signals, causing them to freeze in mid-air or land.
Regarding the use of drones to supply prisoners with objects such as drugs, Piesiewicz added that "this system ideally suits enforcing security at prisons.”
The firm expects to sell its first system this year.
