Problem
The increasing prevalence of unauthorized drone activity poses a significant threat to critical infrastructure and sensitive areas. Traditional counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) solutions often lack the speed and precision required to effectively neutralize high-speed aerial threats, particularly in environments with limited or no Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) availability.
Solution
CDDS offers an AI-driven counter-drone defense system designed for rapid and autonomous threat neutralization. The system focuses on the critical final 250 meters of engagement, detecting and tracking targets as small as 20x20 cm at distances up to 250 meters. Upon target lock, the system executes autonomous strikes within seconds, leveraging real-time on-board image processing and AI-driven path prediction for optimal interception. This approach ensures reliable protection for critical assets, even in GNSS-denied operational theaters, with minimal latency and high update rates for continuous monitoring of dynamic targets.
Target Audience
The primary customers are organizations responsible for securing critical infrastructure, military installations, and sensitive airspace that require robust and rapid counter-drone defense capabilities.
