Counter-UAS

Passive detection. No emissions. No backhaul.

A counter-UAS detection capability that deploys as a standalone system — fixed site, expeditionary, or mobile — and integrates into larger mission systems when you need it to.

Request a Briefing How It Works

Small drones are the access problem

Cheap, numerous, adaptable

Commercial and modified small UAS are inexpensive enough to be used in numbers and iterate faster than the systems built to stop them. Detection has to keep pace with airframes that change every few months.

Active sensors give you away

Radar and RF jammers announce their own position. In a contested environment, the system protecting an asset can become the reason the asset is found.

Detection is the hard part

Defeat systems are only as good as the cue that triggers them. Most sites have no reliable, persistent picture of what is in their airspace.

One capability, two ways to field it

Most customers start standalone.

Primary configuration

Standalone deployment

Deployed on its own. No vehicle, no host platform, no infrastructure dependency.

Fixed-site installation for persistent watch over a facility, flight line, or perimeter
Expeditionary emplacement at a forward position or temporary site
Man-portable configuration for small teams
Distributed nodes networked across an area, degrading gracefully if individual nodes are lost
Runs on organic power, processes on board, operates without a backhaul connection

This is a complete product. Nothing else is required to field it.

Optional configuration

Integrated deployment

The same capability as a sensing module inside a larger mission system.

Mounts to a tactical ground platform as part of a qualified mission kit
Shares power, compute, and communications with the host platform
Cues and is cued by other modules on the same interface standard
Operated from the same console as the platform's other unmanned systems
Conforms to the A113 Interface Control Document

For customers already fielding an integrated platform, or planning to.

Detect. Track. Classify. Without transmitting.

Passive collection

Nodes detect airborne systems from the signals and signatures those systems naturally produce. The sensor emits nothing.

On-board processing

Detection, tracking, and classification run at the edge. No cloud, no reachback, no dependency on a network that may not exist.

Distributed picture

Multiple nodes network together to build a shared local air picture across an area of interest.

Cue and hand off

Output feeds existing command systems and cues other parties' defeat systems. This is a sensing capability designed to integrate, not to replace what you already run.

Why passive matters

A sensor that emits can be detected, located, and targeted. A passive sensor adds nothing to the spectrum, requires no transmit authorization, and does not interfere with friendly systems operating nearby.

What you get

Zero emissions

The system transmits nothing. It cannot be located by what it radiates.

Edge processing

Full detect-track-classify at the node. Results are available in the field without a backhaul.

Open architecture

Built on an open software foundation, available to the United States, US allies, and NATO members. No vendor lock-in on the core stack.

Graceful degradation

Distributed nodes. Losing one does not blind the network.

Integrates, does not replace

Feeds existing C2 and cues existing defeat systems.

US supply chain

NDAA and Section 889 compliant components throughout.

Where it deploys

Installation and base security

Persistent airspace awareness over a fixed site with limited manning.

Critical infrastructure

Energy, port, utility, and data center sites in the commercial sector.

Forward and expeditionary positions

Rapid emplacement where no infrastructure exists.

Mobile and convoy operations

Vehicle-integrated coverage on the move.

Border and wide-area monitoring

Distributed nodes across terrain that cannot be manned continuously.

Event and temporary security

Short-duration emplacement with fast setup and teardown.

Why buy it from us

We own the interface

A113 Defense authors and maintains the Interface Control Document that governs how this capability connects to anything else. Integration is documented, not improvised.

Configuration control

One qualified baseline, change-controlled, auditable, and sustainable across a long fielded life.

We do not overstate

No fabricated readiness claims, no performance figures without a documented basis. What we tell you the system does is what we can show you.

How to start

Capability briefing

A technical discussion of the architecture, deployment modes, and fit against your site or mission. No cost.

Site assessment

A scoped evaluation of your specific environment, coverage requirements, and emplacement plan. Fixed price.

Field evaluation

A time-boxed deployment against your actual threat environment, with structured data collection and a written report. Fixed price.

Frequently asked

Yes. Standalone deployment is the primary configuration. Fixed-site, expeditionary, and man-portable options are all available without any host platform.
