DroneStop® is a high-performance physical Counter-UAS (C-UAS) solution developed, manufactured and tested by KnitMesh Technologies in the UK. Designed for military, defence, prison security and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) applications, DroneStop® provides a lightweight, high-strength physical barrier to help protect people, assets and infrastructure from hostile and unauthorised drones.
Developed to complement electronic, detection and procedural counter-drone measures, DroneStop® provides an additional layer of passive physical protection as part of a layered Counter-UAS strategy. Its engineered stainless steel knitted wire mesh creates a robust physical barrier against drone threats while maintaining visibility, natural light and day-to-day operational effectiveness.
DroneStop® has been developed specifically for demanding defence and security environments where the evolving threat posed by unmanned aerial systems requires a practical, durable and scalable response.
The lightweight stainless steel mesh can be integrated with existing security infrastructure and deployed as either a permanent Counter-UAS installation or a rapid-response drone protection solution. Durable and low maintenance, DroneStop® supports a defence-in-depth approach to drone security without unnecessarily restricting visibility or normal site operations.
DroneStop® adds a physical layer to modern Counter-UAS defence-in-depth strategies.
DroneStop® is available in configurations designed to support both temporary and permanent Counter-UAS installations. Manufactured from high-strength stainless steel knitted wire mesh, each solution can be tailored to specific defence, security and operational requirements, with alternative materials, reinforcement and dimensions available on request.
