Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS)

We are a leading integrator of advanced counter UAS solutions, combining best‑in‑class radars, cameras, sensors, and effectors with powerful software enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into a unified defensive architecture. Our solutions connect detection, decision-making, and response into a single coordinated capability, enabling operators to act faster and more effectively against evolving drone threats.

Our vendor-agnostic, open-architecture approach ensures that every solution is tailored to mission requirements, whether protecting critical infrastructure, securing borders, or supporting military operations. Built for speed, scalability, and adaptability, we deliver mission-ready solutions engineered to execute the full counter-drone kill chain.

Mission-Tailored, Scalable CUAS Solutions

We deliver mission-tailored CUAS and counter-C5ISR capabilities that scale from single-site force protection to theater-level and homeland defense architectures. Built on a modular, open, and scalable design, our system-of-systems approach integrates detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation capabilities across the full kill chain, enabling joint, interagency, and coalition partners to deploy only the capabilities they need today while seamlessly expanding as threats, mission requirements, and budgets evolve.

Detect, Track, And Identify

Multi-Sensor Detection, Tracking, and Identification

We deliver multi-sensor detection that enables persistent, long-range surveillance and early UAS identification, tracking, and classification. By fusing layered sensor data in real time, our systems create a high-fidelity common operating picture that improves accuracy, reduces false positives, and speeds informed decisions.

Core detection sensors and capabilities include:

  • Doppler radar with propeller detection to identify small, low-signature drones early
  • Air-search radar for wide-area surveillance and long-range tracking
  • Multi-band RF detection for early warning, signal analysis, and operator identification
  • Electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors for visual confirmation, identification, and persistent tracking
  • Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) for cooperative airspace awareness
  • RF detection and signal processing for classification and threat analysis
  • Acoustic for low flying dark/fiber controlled UAS

Command And Control Platforms

Command and control is the foundation of effective CUAS. Our C2 and battle management solutions integrate sensing, threat data, operational intelligence, and response options into a unified operational framework, enabling operators to move from detection to action faster and with greater confidence. Our solutions support everything from localized site protection to theater-level air defense and can integrate with existing customer systems to maximize situational awareness, coordination, and decision advantage.

Leveraging AI And Machine Learning To Outsmart The Adversary

We apply AI/ML at all stages: detect, track, identify, and defeat. Our AI/ML applications include classification of unknown RF signatures and high-level decision aids to identify the optimal effector and course of action given the threat and applicable rules-of-engagement. In addition, we improve automated tracking of potential targets through advanced integration of AI/ML object detection and classification models with sensor controllers keeping eyes on target regardless of clutter or atmospheric conditions.
