Although presented as a model at EDEX 2023, the JN1101 demonstrated its potential as a cutting-edge defense tool against UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) threats. Drones are currently very popular, both in utility and military contexts, and their use is constantly increasing. Manufacturers are racing to be the first to find a viable solution to effectively counter this new threat.

The JN1101 is the result of extensive research conducted by Chinese companies and institutions specializing in defense technology. The system integrates interception, location, and jamming, thus offering a comprehensive solution against drones. It can detect and control UAVs by intercepting their control signals and can jam both the measurement and control links and the satellite navigation signals of drones. With a frequency coverage ranging from 200MHz to 8000MHz and high location accuracy, the JN1101 positions itself as a versatile defensive tool.

The presentation of the JN1101, even as a model, at EDEX 2023 highlights the importance of developing advanced technologies in the face of increasing security threats related to drones. China, as the manufacturer, underscores its leadership role in defense and security innovation.

China has been at the forefront of developing sophisticated anti-drone technologies, reflecting its commitment to counter the growing use of UAVs in modern warfare. Notable among these is the Silent Hunter, an advanced anti-drone laser weapon developed by Poly Technologies, capable of destroying low-flying drones with its powerful laser. Another significant development is the Casic Anti-UAV Package by China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation, offering a comprehensive solution with capabilities like detection, reconnaissance, interference, and control. The package includes an early warning system with radar and electro-optical capabilities tailored for drone tracking. Additionally, the ZK-K20 Tactical Command System and the FK-3000, an upgraded air defense platform, provide robust interception capabilities against various drone types, including swarm drones. These systems, along with the ZR-1500 Unmanned Ground Vehicles for additional support, highlight China's diverse approach to countering UAV threats.

We are eager to learn more about the JN1101, but the information available to us is rather sparse. Perhaps at a future exhibition, we could learn more about this system and maybe see it in full scale, as has been the case at previous shows. So, this is a matter to follow.
