As drone threats move toward autonomous swarms and evasion-hardened technology, relying solely on active measures is a high-risk strategy. Developed by Frictape, SpiderNet™ provides the physical certainty needed to protect what matters most when active countermeasures fail to eliminate the threat.

Why Passive Protection Matters?

In many real-world scenarios, active counter-UAS systems can face limitations—whether due to regulatory constraints, environmental conditions, or system vulnerabilities. SpiderNet™ complements existing solutions by offering a non-electronic, always-ready protective layer that ensures continuous coverage regardless of external factors.

Frictape SpiderNet™ — the last stop C-UAS safeguard for high-value assets, when active counter-UAS countermeasures fail to eliminate threats. In the modern theatre of conflict, active Counter-UAS systems alone are not sufficient, we regularly see evidence of UAS systems avoiding active countermeasures. While electronic warfare and kinetic interceptors are critical, they are no longer infallible. As hostile actors evolve their tactics to bypass these primary shields, Frictape SpiderNet™ stands as the world’s first entirely passive, high-performance physical barrier—the final, failsafe safeguard for high-value assets.

The Last Line of Defense

SpiderNet™ is designed specifically for the moment these primary defenses fail. It operates as a “set-and-forget” physical shield that protects the asset directly, adding a new protective layer to active countermeasures:

– Non-Electronic & Always Active: Unlike systems that require power, sensors, or human intervention, SpiderNet™ is always “on”. It cannot be jammed, spoofed, or blinded.

– High-Energy Stopping Power: Drawing on 40 years of aviation-grade engineering, the system can stop drones carrying up to multiple megajoules of kinetic energy – enough to neutralize heavy loitering munitions that have breached the outer perimeter.

– Modular Resilience: The failsafe design ensures that if one panel is impacted, the rest of the structure remains intact. This modularity allows for rapid field repair and continued protection against subsequent waves of attack.
