An in-depth look at TRD's Orion-H10 anti-drone gun: Weapon of the Week

For a weapon of the week this week, we're going to take our inspiration from a recent event in the headlines

If you watched any coverage of the Pope's funeral, you probably saw some people walking around with some pieces of equipment that looked like this

It's an anti-drone rifle. And here to talk a little bit more about this anti-drone rifle is Denise Ong with TRD Singapore

Denise, tell me about it. Sure, and so this is our Orion H10. So 10 represents the amount of frequency bands we have

It is the most advanced drone jammer gun in the market. It's also, of course, our latest product

So how this works, essentially, is that it disrupts the connection between the remote control and the drone

so that the drone will land, hover, or return to home, so that it doesn't disrupt any events

it doesn't cause any damage, it doesn't risk any lives to civilians. So we've actually spent a lot of effort iterating and making sure that this drone gun can cover all kinds of drones

Not just DJI drones, not just commercial drones, but DIY, FPV, and even some military-grade drones

And that's why the operating on 10 different frequencies is so important, because those drones operate on different frequencies, correct

Exactly, exactly. A lot of competitors we've seen tend to focus on certain kind of aspects of drones

Sometimes some markets have just commercial drones, but for us we know that because our gun has been in a lot of different countries

we know that there are a lot of different kinds of drones that people deal with. So we want to make sure that our gun can be applied to any situation, be it any civilian

kind of disruptions or even war-based situations. So if I'm deployed with this thing, I mean, is it, am I going to be exhausted at the end

of the day? I mean, how much does this thing weigh? So this weighs about seven kilograms and I think it not that heavy but it is pretty sturdy Some Marines have actually carried it with one hand That really impressive So if you see here how this works is it looks exactly like this

You see a drone, you shoot it, take it down, good to go. You can carry it if you want

So just like a normal rifle, essentially. Exactly. Not exactly the Rambo look, but, you know, in 2025

maybe Rambo would be carrying something like this. You said you're in 20 different countries, 25 different countries

Yeah, so we're in over 35 different countries. 35, okay. Yeah, so all over the world, be it Middle East, Southeast Asia, where we're from

We've also sold these guns to the Canadian DOD. They're having, the troops in Latvia are having our guns right now as we speak

All right. What's next for, I know you said you update this thing every six months or so

I mean, what's next for the Orion? So when it comes to counter drones and drones

we have to keep a close eye on how drones are being developed. We can't develop any systems just in a vacuum and not thinking about it or just thinking about oh the most sophisticated

Sexy looking thing we want to make sure we have really close boots sit on the ground Just to make sure that as drones develop we do as well in tandem with what they're doing

So as drones have certain developments such as anti jamming modules and stuff like that

We want to make sure that we can do other kinds of soft kills so that it's actually not only just

RF based jamming but spoofing as well GPS spoofing So I can't really say what our next product will be although I know which direction it's going in

but I will say that we're definitely developing it to make sure that it's not just one kind of method that we're relying on

and we're having a layered defense for any kind of situation. All right. Well, Denise, when you are ready to share those secrets, please reach back out to us in the meantime

Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you for having me
