At Samcheok Base Headquarters, where we supply and
operate jamming guns (Shieldrone) for transport, on Monday, April 4, around
10:15 a.m., an employee found an unidentified flying object orbiting in the air
above the base. Then it was reported to the Chief of Police in charge. The
Mobile Strike Team was dispatched immediately with the Shieldrone to capture
the illegal drone at the scene, identified and caught the drone pilot, and
handed them over to the local police station. In particular, as an important
national facility, this base purchased jamming guns at the end of last year to
respond to the threat of illegal drones (Shieldrone), which have been deployed
and in operation. It has also gained deep trust from related organizations such
as the military and police in charge of integrated defense within the region.
The base also said that this incident has enhanced trust in the equipment and
that the effectiveness of the equipment has been directly verified, and that
follow-up measures, including the purchase of additional equipment, are being
considered in the future. For reference, at around 5 pm on March 22, at the
Incheon LNG receiving terminal of Korea Gas Corporation, there was an incident
where a woman and an illegal drone were found and taken action by the police
while taking unauthorized video in the sky near the base. An anti-drone system
was installed and operated at the Incheon LNG receiving terminal at the end of
2021.
