The U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group 5 released some footage, Lt. Gian Dabu, from Yokosuka, Japan, and Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 1st Class Brian Fleet, from Mechanicsville, Va., operate a Drone Restricted Access Using Known EW (DRAKE) aboard the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67) in the Philippine Sea. DRAKE demonstrates the feasibility of repurposing mature counter-improvised explosive device technology for interoperable, counter-UAS missions while protecting friendly force communications.
The DRAK) is system, has already been deployed with US troops in Iraq. It disrupts con- a radio-frequency negation system that delivers a non-kinetic, selective trol of the drone, neutralising it so that no remote action, including det- electronic attack of Group 1 drones. DRAKE demonstrated the feasibility onation, can occur, minimising drone damage and risk to public safety of repurposing mature counter-IED technology for interoperable C-UAS. The device uses a non-kinetic solution to defend airspace against small missions while protecting friendly force communications.
USS Shiloh (CG-67) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy, named in remembrance of the Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War. She was built at the Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. With her guided missiles and rapid-fire cannons, she is capable of facing and defeating threats in the air, on or under the sea, and ashore.
