Counter-UAS handheld: real-world detection range?

Elena V.10/4/2026 Radar & Detection

The spec sheets on counter-drone handhelds always quote optimistic numbers. Anyone used one in an urban or treeline environment? Trying to understand what realistic detection looks like before we budget for one.

Urban multipath is rough. Get a demo unit and test on your own site before you buy.

Treeline cut our detection range by more than half versus open ground. Budget for the realistic number, not the spec sheet.
