Lockheed Martin has introduced a scalable, layered counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) designed to detect, track, and neutralize threats.
The company, along with undisclosed partners, successfully demonstrated the system’s ability to counter small UAVs, both individually and in swarm scenarios.
The system relies on a network of sensors capable of detecting multiple small, low-flying drones.
These sensors feed data into a command-and-control system that classifies threats, selects appropriate countermeasures, and manages multiple engagements simultaneously.
“Integrating diverse sensors through a user-optimized command and control system helps simplify threat identification, and we have the complementary technology offerings to convert collected data into actionable information,” said Tyler Griffin, C-UAS Director at Lockheed Martin.
Features
Built on an open-architecture framework, the C-UAS system integrates AI-driven software for enhanced detection and tracking, alongside a range of low-cost sensors.
AI-powered automation improves efficiency by streamlining threat assessment and response, reducing the burden on operators.
Its modular design allows for quick adaptation, enabling operators to incorporate new sensors and interceptors as threats evolve.
Designed for rapid deployment, the system can also integrate seamlessly with existing defense networks, enhancing coordination across multiple platforms.
