The Hanxiang UAV countermeasure system emphasizes "layered defense, intelligent detection, and effective countermeasures." The system architecture integrates functions such as active radar, frequency detection, and soft-kill countermeasures, and can provide UAV detection, identification, tracking, and expulsion capabilities according to mission requirements. Minister of Justice Zheng Mingqian was personally present for acceptance.

Zhuang Xiumei, general manager of Hanxiang, pointed out that the UAV countermeasure system was officially launched at the Taipei Air Show last year, and has continued to gradually improve product maturity through field testing and system optimization. It takes into account the mission requirements of different use areas. The system adopts an open architecture and can function according to customer needs. It can configure and quickly integrate sensors and related equipment from different manufacturers, improving the flexibility of system deployment and expansion. Because Hanxiang is a 100% "non-red supply chain", everything from system construction to equipment selection focuses on security considerations, providing the best choice for domestic UAV airspace protection.

Cai Minghuang, deputy general manager of Hanxiang, said that this exercise not only verified the operation of the UAV countermeasures system in the actual field, but also continued to accumulate practical experience in different application scenarios through tactical coordination with the user units. In the future, Hanxiang will continue to improve countermeasures technology and system integration to expand the application fields of domestic UAV countermeasures systems.
