FlySpark CHIPA Close-Range Anti-Drone Net Launcher | Portable FPV Drone Interception System with 3×3m Net

Key facts

At a glance

The FlySpark CHIPA is a hand-held, single-use net launcher that physically stops FPV and lightweight drones at close range by entangling their propellers with a 3 × 3 m net. It is meant as a last-layer tool for trained security and defence operators, especially where RF jamming is restricted. It weighs about 705 g, measures 50 × 260 mm, and reaches up to 25 m with about 0.2 s net deployment.

Use cases

• Final-layer protection at checkpoints, guard posts and facility entrances
• Mobile security and patrol team kit
• Prison perimeter and border outpost response
• Sites where RF jamming is unavailable or not permitted
• Layered C-UAS with separate detection and visual confirmation

Mission overview

FlySpark CHIPA Close-Range Anti-Drone Net Launcher | Portable FPV Drone Interception System

The FlySpark CHIPA Close-Range Anti-Drone Net Launcher is a compact, portable counter-UAV device designed for rapid physical interception of FPV drones and lightweight UAVs at short range. It uses a fast-deploying net to mechanically entangle drone propellers, causing the drone to lose lift and stop functioning as an airborne threat. Unlike RF jammers or GPS spoofing systems, CHIPA is a physical interception tool that does not rely on radio-frequency suppression, GNSS interference, signal takeover or electronic attack.

CHIPA is designed for last-layer drone defense when an FPV drone or lightweight UAV is already near a protected position, security team, mobile unit, restricted area, facility entrance, checkpoint or defensive perimeter. The system is lightweight at approximately 705g, has compact dimensions of 50mm diameter × 260mm length, deploys a 3×3m net, and is intended for close-range interception up to 25m under suitable conditions. Net deployment occurs rapidly, with a listed deployment time of approximately 0.2 seconds.

This product is especially useful as a backup layer in a complete counter-drone system. Drone detectors, radar, RF sensors, optical systems and EW equipment may provide early warning, while CHIPA provides a close-range physical response option when a drone enters the immediate protection zone. It is suitable for authorized defense units, facility security teams, mobile response teams, prison-security teams, VIP-event security, border observation groups and critical infrastructure protection teams.

• PRODUCT POSITIONING:
• Close-Range Physical Drone Interceptor:
• • Portable anti-drone net launcher
• • Designed for FPV drones and lightweight UAVs
• • Mechanically entangles drone propellers
• • Does not use RF jamming
• • Does not spoof GNSS
• • Does not transmit control commands
• • Suitable for close-range last-layer protection
• • Fast 3×3m net deployment
• • Compact, lightweight and field-portable
• • Designed for trained defense/security operators
• • Useful as part of layered counter-UAV protection

• Core Purpose:
• • Rapid close-range drone interception
• • FPV drone propeller entanglement
• • Physical neutralization of lightweight UAVs
• • Last-line defense for security teams
• • Protection of positions, facilities and mobile units
• • Non-electronic counter-drone response
• • Backup option when RF countermeasures are not suitable
• • Tactical safety layer for sensitive RF environments

Why It Matters: FPV drones are fast, compact and difficult to stop at close range. Electronic warfare systems may not always be available, legally permitted, properly positioned or effective against every threat. A compact net launcher gives trained operators a physical interception option for the final protection zone, especially where the goal is to stop a drone without emitting RF energy or interfering with nearby communication/navigation systems.

• BEST USE CASES:
• • Close-range FPV drone interception
• • Last-layer counter-UAV protection
• • Military position defense
• • Security-team rapid response
• • Prison contraband-drone defense
• • Critical infrastructure perimeter protection
• • Border post drone defense
• • VIP event drone protection
• • Mobile patrol drone response
• • Checkpoint drone security
• • Drone test-range safety control
• • Facility entrance protection
• • Government campus security

• • Layered anti-drone system integration

IMPORTANT USE NOTE: FlySpark CHIPA is a restricted close-range anti-drone physical interception device. It is intended only for authorized defense, government, security, institutional, industrial, emergency-response or approved professional use. It must be handled only by trained personnel according to supplied safety documentation and local law. It should not be used for unlawful harm, public misuse, unsafe firing, harassment, civilian crowd misuse or unauthorized drone interference. Check local laws, site permission, safety distance, storage rules, transport rules and operator approval before procurement or deployment.
