On the 10th, a celebration parade celebrating the emperor's throne, police officials interviewed the officials to increase the number of “jamming guns” that block suspicious drones with jamming waves more than three times before understood.

Three days later, on the 10th of this month, the parade celebrating the emperor ’s throne, “The celebration of the celebration”, the Emperor Empress opens the approximately 4.6 kilometer route from the Imperial Palace to Akasaka Imperial Palace. I am going by car.

Overseas, there are terrorist incidents using drones, as well as domestic incidents where foreign tourists fly drones, police authorities stop suspicious drones using jamming radio waves at the celebration parade security It was found through interviews with relevant parties that the number of “jamming guns” to be increased was more than three times that of the conventional model and that they were on alert.

The jamming gun was deployed at the alternative ritual held from April to May along with the devices that detect drones, and at the G20 Osaka Summit in June. Will spread.

In the parade security, a booth for visitors is set up along the roadside, and the use of metal detectors at the baggage inspection area is prohibited, and the Metropolitan Police Department has a special dispatch team of approximately 3,000 people gathered from police nationwide. We are going to be wary of 26,000 people including

What is "Jamming Gun"

One of drone terrorism's representative countermeasure equipment, "Jamming Gun", makes it impossible to fly by applying jamming radio waves toward the radio waves used for drone operations.

Most drones are programmed to move down on the spot or return to the pilot as a safety measure when the controller is unable to receive radio waves. The “jamming gun” is a countermeasure device that uses the mechanism in reverse.

When radio waves emitted from a “jamming gun” are applied, the drone can no longer be maneuvered, and can be lowered to the spot or returned to the pilot to prevent terrorism.

Development is progressing in each country, and according to each manufacturer, it has already been introduced by American security agencies and the Korean military.

On the other hand, in Japan, because the act of interfering with radio waves violates the Radio Law, it cannot be used in principle, and some organizations such as the National Police Agency have only received permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

The French manufacturer in charge of “Jamming Gun” said, “Jamming guns are deployed all over the world to deal with drones. In Japan as well, the Tokyo Olympics next year will focus on foreign visitors and Japanese people. It ’s very important to install equipment to protect it. ”

A series of drone abuse cases

There have been a series of terrorist attacks and incidents that exploited drones in recent years.

In September, however, several oil-related facilities were attacked by someone in Saudi Arabia, and in a case of explosion and fire, it was reported that they were attacked by drones.

In Venezuela, South America, a drone loaded with explosives came flying last year when the president was speaking outdoors, and an explosion occurred in the air.

In Japan, four years ago, a drone with a radioactive substance container attached to the roof of the Prime Minister's office was falling.

In Japan, due to amendments to the Aviation Law and other regulations, regulations that prohibit flying in areas where people and houses are densely populated and flying around competition venues and major airports during the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are implemented. However, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has strengthened vigilance as it may be abused by terrorism.

Exhibition of anti-terrorism equipment

In Tokyo, an exhibition of anti-terrorism equipment was held that invited only a limited number of people, including police officials.

Over the past few years, the exhibition has seen an increase in the number of equipment that can deal with terrorism that exploits drones.

There were also specialized in detecting drones that came in early, those that interfered with the radio waves between the drone and the controller and made it unusable, and `` counter drone '' that picked up the drone with a drone and captured it on the net .

Police officials who visited the venue listened to the staff in charge about the performance and usage of the equipment.

An American manufacturer's representative said, “In Japan and countries around the world, there are laws that restrict the use of drones to specific places, but as there are terrorists who abuse drones, It ’s important to keep the airspace safe. ”

"Counter drone" progressing development

A drone that is abused by terrorism is greeted with a drone. “Counter drone” is being developed based on this concept. In Japan, research on “counter drones” using artificial intelligence and AI is ongoing.

A drone maker headquartered in Fukushima Prefecture has prototyped a "counter drone" equipped with a wide-angle camera, capture wires, and artificial intelligence and AI that learns the characteristics of the interceptor.

A flight attendant flew at the site of a prefectural high school in the suburbs of Saitama Prefecture. When a drone to be intercepted is captured with a camera, AI automatically positions the aircraft on the target while balancing the aircraft and drops the wire before catching it.

Currently, it is necessary to have a human hand to determine whether a drone is suspicious and to instruct it to follow it, but in the future, AI will learn the characteristics of a suspicious drone and perform everything from judgment to capture automatically. I want to let you.

Masaya Matsumoto of “Eames Robotics” said, “It is necessary to physically capture when it is passed through countermeasures such as radio interference. Improve accuracy and ease of maneuvering, and make many people safer I want to be able to protect it. "

Expert “Japan lags behind the rules”

A specially appointed lecturer at Keio University, who is studying how to use drones, made a rule concerning drones in Japan, such as a drone falling on the roof of the Prime Minister's residence four years ago. He points out that it is progressing in response to incidents and accidents, and that the rules have been delayed compared to overseas.

There is no registration system for drones established by countries such as the United States to identify pilots in Japan, which is currently being considered by the government.

A specially appointed lecturer at Minami pointed out, “In Japan, you should n’t fly while drinking, or the rules that are really common are being formed, and the attitude toward malicious drones is still inadequate.” The

In addition, many drone terrorism equipment developed around the world uses radio waves, but in Japan, in principle, it cannot be used due to restrictions such as the Radio Law. Some organizations, such as the National Police Agency, have introduced such equipment with special permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, but private security companies can only capture drones on the net.

As a specially appointed instructor, Mr. Minami said, “If the drone can be prevented from being abused by improving the operation of radio equipment, it can be used by civilians for specific purposes. Flexible operation such as giving temporary authority is also necessary. "
