• Deutsche Telekom and Rheinmetall are joining forces to develop a drone defense shield to protect critical infrastructure such as dams, bridges, and power plants.
  • The system will detect drones early and intercept them using jamming signals or laser shots.
  • Telekom uses passive RF sensors mounted on mobile phone masts to detect drones via radio signals from remote controls.
  • Rheinmetall contributes experience in countering drones and already cooperates with the Hamburg police and port.
  • The project is still in an early phase, aiming to strengthen sovereignty and reduce public concern.
