The Spider is a mobile electronic warfare anti-drone system produced by the Pakistani conglomerate GIDS. It is Pakistan's first locally made counter-UAV system designed to disrupt Loitering munitions and MALE UAVs by jamming their communication and satellite navigation systems. [1] [2] [3]
The Spider is a counter-unmanned aircraft system (CUAS) designed by the Defence Science & Technology Organisation of GIDS. The system was unveiled during the ADEX 2024 defense exhibition in Baku and is designed to jam data transmission between the UAV and its controllers at ranges more than 10 km. It can block GPS, radio and satellite positioning systems. The system comes in both vehicle as well as on man portable tripod mounted versions. [3]
The IAI Heron (Machatz-1) is a medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the Malat (UAV) division of Israel Aerospace Industries. It is capable of Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) operations of up to 52 hours' duration at up to 10.5 km (35,000 ft). It has demonstrated 52 hours of continuous flight, but the effective operational maximal flight duration is less, according to payload and flight profile. An advanced version, the Heron TP, is also known as the IAI Eitan.

A loitering munition, also known as a suicide drone, kamikaze drone, or exploding drone, is a kind of aerial weapon with a built-in warhead that is typically designed to loiter around a target area until a target is located, then attack the target by crashing into it. Loitering munitions enable faster reaction times against hidden targets that emerge for short periods without placing high-value platforms near the target area and also allow more selective targeting as the attack can be changed mid-flight or aborted.
