The drone detector was developed with the use of guidelines authored by Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov (the device is based on TinySa Ultra spectrum analyzer).
The Saqribs drone detector is a private electronic intelligence (ELINT) device. Firmware intended for the military.
The device is designed to detect objects, including drones, by displaying their radiofrequency signals on the screen.
This is due to a wide frequency band from 35 Hz to 6 GHz, including Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, CDMA, DCS, GSM, GPRS, GLONASS, and many others. The detection range is 3.5-4.5 km. The working angle is 60 degrees.
The Saqribs drone detector can be completed with an external 20 dB amplifier in a customized manner.
The Saqribs portable drone detector can be used for the following military activities:
1. Checking the frequency bands for interference or electronic warfare (EW) activity (both insiders and outsiders):
- by satellite navigation signals (jamming of the Starlink GPS module);
- by communication frequencies and receiving frequencies of UHF and VHF repeaters;
- by UAV control channels;
- by channels for receiving video signals from UAVs.
2. Recording and identification of cruise-type reconnaissance UAVs with the possibility of their direction finding.
3. Recording and identification of cruise-type strike UAVs with the possibility of their direction finding (Lancet, Zala).
4. Recording with the possibility of direction finding of FPV quadcopter drones, DJI, AUTEL.
5. Recording with the possibility of direction finding of WiFi access points in the enemy’s positions.
6. Direction finding of signal sources by triangulation:
- satellite navigation signals;
- communication frequencies and receiving frequencies of UHF and VHF repeaters;
- UAV control channels;
- channels for receiving video signals from UAVs.
Other applications
The device can be used for other detection tasks:
- satellite link phones;
- checking the operating bands of anti-drone shotguns;
- markers and beacons on equipment and “volunteer” freight;
- checking the stealthy broadcasting of captured radio stations;
- checking the frequency bands wherein mobile communications operate and aligning the antennas of mobile communications amplifiers with network carrier towers.
