After achieving a killstreak of 4 (or 3 in a row if the perk Hardline is selected), the player can call in a Counter-UAV drone that will completely obscure the maps and minimaps of all enemies with static for 30 seconds. This effect is identical to that of the Scrambler perk at its closest range. As with either effect, any affected player that activates a killstreak reward that causes the full map to come up, such as an airstrike, will find that map and the player markers on it completely obscured as well. The Counter-UAV drone is identical to the UAV Recon Drone, and can likewise be destroyed in order to end its effect - it does, however, fly slightly higher than its Recon cousin. The Counter-UAV will (as its name may suggest) obscure enemy maps even while they have a UAV Recon drone active, even if the Recon drone is activated after the Counter-UAV. It is not available as a killstreak by default and must be unlocked. As with the UAV Recon killstreak, the player is awarded 100 XP upon its activation.
The emblem awarded for completing the challenge 'Interference III' for calling in 50 Counter-UAVs is shown to the right.

The Counter-UAV returns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as part of the Support Strike Package. It requires 5 points to acquire and lasts 30 seconds. The Counter-UAV functions identically to its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 incarnation. However, using Assassin Pro makes the player immune to the Counter UAV's effect.
Trivia Edit
- The Counter-UAV has a different serial number than the UAV Recon Drone, but other than that they are very similar.
- The drone becomes invulnerable the moment that its effect times out, so it cannot be destroyed for XP or challenges while it is flying away.
- This is one of only three killstreak rewards in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that cannot kill in any way. The other killstreaks are the UAV Recon and EMP.
- The Counter-UAV, EMP and Tactical Nuke are the only 3 killstreaks that directly affects all opposing players.
- There is a challenge called "Sunblock" that the player gets if he or she calls in three Counter-UAVs in a single match (in any game mode).
- The Counter-UAV flies in the reverse direction (counter clockwise) of the UAV.
- Players with the Assassin Perk negate the scrambling effects of a Counter-UAV, however, if players with Assassin call in a UAV/Advanced UAV enemies will not show on the mini-map until the Counter-UAV is gone.
- Players with Assassin can still see friendly and enemy killstreaks on the radar, along with enemies firing without a silencer when a Counter-UAV is out, making it less useful than in past games.
