Key Point Defense Anti-Drone System: Integrated Radar, EO/IR Tracking & Laser Neutralization
Unmanned aircraft are reshaping how the world works — and how it must be defended. As drone incidents over airports, stadiums, borders, critical infrastructure and conflict zones keep rising, demand for reliable anti-drone systems has moved from niche military procurement into mainstream security budgets worldwide.
Chenlong Intelligence integrated point-defense anti-drone system: a distributed solution combining an band drone-detection radar, an intelligent EO/IR tracking unit, and a high-energy laser effector, unified by a single command-and-control platform. The design follows one doctrine: detect far, track precisely, neutralize decisively — radar coverage out to 10 km, electro-optical tracking at 5 km, laser hard-kill at 1–3 km, with jamming-based soft-kill options in between.

  • System Architecture: Four Subsystems, One Operating Picture 1.Radar detection equipment — an band phased-array radar on a mechanical turntable that searches the protected airspace around the clock, in all weather. 2.Intelligent tracking equipment — a gyro-stabilized EO/IR unit pairing a cooled thermal imager with a day/night camera for identification-grade tracking. 3.Laser neutralization equipment — a high-energy laser on a precision gimbal that destroys confirmed targets within the inner defense zone. 4.Command & control (C2) platform — the brain of the system: fuses sensor data, drives automatic sensor-to-sensor handoff, displays live tracks on a map, and lets operators command every effector remotely.
Because all four nodes are distributed and digitally linked, the system scales naturally — one C2 platform can federate multiple radar, tracking, and effector sites into a single defensive grid.

The Layered Kill Chain Layer 1 — Detection at 10 km. The radar provides continuous, all-weather, all-day detection of moving targets across a 10 km radius, reporting azimuth, range, altitude, and velocity to the C2 platform. Layer 2 — Identification-grade tracking at 5 km. The C2 platform converts radar tracks into pan/tilt/zoom commands; the EO/IR unit slews to the target and maintains a precision lock day or night, through haze. Layer 3 — Graduated response. Soft kill: portable jamming rifles disrupt navigation and control links, forcing the intruder to land or return. Hard kill: when a hostile target penetrates the inner danger zone (1 / 2 / 3 km radii), the system cues the laser and destroys it in seconds.

Where the System Deploys • Military bases and defense installations — 24/7 low-altitude sentry over barracks, depots, and airfields • Borders and perimeter zones — radar-led detection of cross-border drone smuggling and intrusion • Airports and airfields — protection of approach corridors and runway exclusion zones • Government compounds and VIP sites — covert, proportionate defense where discretion matters • Energy and critical infrastructure — refineries, power plants, substations, dams • Stadiums and mass events — temporary or permanent low-altitude security • Coastal and maritime platforms — gyro-stabilized tracking holds lock from vessels and offshore installations • Prisons and correctional facilities — interdiction of contraband-carrying drones Integration and Customization Every site is different. The system is delivered as a configurable solution: distributed sensor placement matched to your terrain and threat profile, danger-zone radii tuned to your rules of engagement, laser power scaled to your engagement distances, and interfaces to connect with existing perimeter security, video management, and air-traffic systems. Our engineers support site survey, system design, integration, and operator training.
