Kurze Beschreibung / Short Description + Wichtiger Hinweis für alle Teilnehmenden / Important note for all participants

FiberDome Systems is redefining drone defense with a patent-pending, physical fiber-based airspace denial system. Unlike electronic jamming or ballistic options, FiberDome’s solution uses lightweight, passive fiber clouds to disable AI-powered drones and swarms through fiber entanglement in the drone’s rotors.

In this submission, we propose EM-FiberDome: an airborne, passive electromagnetic barrier formed by dispensing electro-conductive micro-fibers that float for minutes in the lower airspace, deliberately reshaping the local RF channel to degrade hostile jamming and spoofing while preserving friendly links. It will use the same mechanical launcher/cartridge architecture we are already building for our FiberDome Drone Defense System (FD3): it unfurls ultra-light fibers via a mass-tuned pull-body; with conductive fibers (e.g., metallized ribbons/filaments, carbon-loaded yarns) we create a sparse, volumetric “RF fog” that induces scattering, absorption and polarization scrambling across GNSS (L1/L2) and common C2/video bands (0.9–6 GHz). This raises path loss for line-of-sight jammers, smears coherent spoofing via time-varying multipath/delay-spread, and locally reduces C/N₀ and J/S at the victim receiver—without emitting, jamming, or breaking EMCON. As a fail-safe, if an attacking rotorcraft penetrates the cloud, traditional soft-kill entanglement still neutralizes the drone mechanically, exactly as in our baseline FiberDome system.
