Fractal Antenna Systems is pushing the limits of counter-UAS innovation with the launch of its JERECHO acoustic array platform, a system designed to convert sound into a powerful defensive capability. Using controlled acoustic energy, JERECHO can track, interfere with, or neutralize drones and electronic threats, offering militaries a non-kinetic method to secure airspace in increasingly cluttered threat environments.
Unlike conventional jamming systems or kinetic interceptors that risk collateral damage, JERECHO relies entirely on sound-based effects. This makes it ideal for use around civilian areas, airports, power facilities, government buildings, and other sensitive infrastructure. Its low-risk operating profile provides a safer alternative for forces needing precise counter-drone actions without damaging surrounding assets.
The platform’s unique performance is driven by its advanced fractal-array configuration, which determines how acoustic energy behaves in open air. By shaping and directing sound waves, the system can project highly accurate beams of acoustic force, enabling both long-range detection and targeted disruption against small aerial threats. This precision gives operators greater control in the fast-evolving drone threat landscape.
With drone warfare expanding globally and electronic attacks becoming more sophisticated, the demand for new defensive approaches is accelerating. JERECHO highlights how acoustic technologies are evolving into viable non-kinetic solutions for modern security operations. Fractal Antenna Systems’ innovation underscores the growing importance of sound-driven defense tools in shaping the next generation of counter-UAS strategies.
