Frost Radar™: UAS Communication Disruptors, 2025

This Frost Radar™ analyzes the global unmanned aerial systems (UAS) communication disruptors industry, specifically focusing on vendors that offer solutions that can breach a drone’s communication, radio, and GNSS signals that connect it to its operator. Frost & Sullivan uses its proprietary benchmark methodology to plot the top global vendors in the industry according to their ongoing solution development, market outreach to new customer groups, business strategies, and growth results.

This market’s competitive environment has evolved as new threats emerge from the military and commercial drone industry. Smaller, more innovative market participants now compete alongside larger commercial drone providers.

The rise in unauthorized aerial drones at large sporting and cultural events, along borders, in smart cities, and at airports has prompted governments to invest more in counter-UAS technologies, including solutions to disrupt UAS communications. These technologies are essential for security operations by interfering with UAS communications using jamming, cyber radio frequency, and spoofing techniques.

Emerging threats in this space include band-hopping techniques (when UASs switch communication protocols to avoid mitigation) and the implementation of do-it-yourself drones that are harder to identify and neutralize. UAS communication disruptor developers' specialized research and development considers on-ground drone developments while also concentrating on hardware-agnostic or software-first solutions that enable rapid updates to new requirements.

Frost & Sullivan analyzes numerous companies in an industry. Those selected for further analysis based on their leadership or other distinctions are benchmarked across 10 Growth and Innovation criteria to reveal their position on the Frost Radar™. The publication presents competitive profiles of each company on the Frost Radar™ considering their strengths and the opportunities that best fit those strengths.
