01The problem
The battlefield is asymmetric.
A drone costing a few hundred to a few thousand dollars can threaten infrastructure worth hundreds of millions, and force a defensive response that costs orders of magnitude more.
| Threat cost | A commercial or FPV-class drone: a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. |
| Asset at risk | Hundreds of millions per exposed site: reactors, terminals, runways, surgical units. |
| Cost asymmetry | A multimillion-dollar interceptor against a drone costing a fraction of that. Reported ratios reach 100-to-1 and beyond. |
| Design target | Defeat the threat at a fraction of legacy cost, deployed by one operator in minutes. |
02The solution
TDS-S costs less than the threat.
Compact and autonomous. Detects, classifies and defeats weaponised UAS at a fraction of legacy cost.

FIG.1 · TDS-S GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
| Detection | 360° electro-optical scan, day and night. |
| Night coverage | IR fusion to the full 500 m envelope. |
| Classification | Edge-inference AI. No cloud dependency. |
| Control mode | Operator-in-the-loop; autonomous engage optional. |
| Effector | Kinetic interceptor. Jamming-resistant, swarm-capable. |
| Scaling | 500 m per unit, networkable for area coverage. |

03How it works
Detect. Classify. Decide. Engage.
01
Detect
360° electro-optical scan, day and night. IR fusion to the full 500 m envelope.
02
Classify
Edge-AI separates UAS from birds, aircraft and traffic. No cloud.
03
Decide
Operator-in-the-loop by default. Fully autonomous mode for 24/7 cover.
04
Engage
Kinetic interceptor defeats the UAS. Effective against jamming-resistant FPV and swarms.
04Protected sites
High-value sites, close to people.
Medical
Field hospitals
Mobile surgical units, casualty evacuation.
Energy
Power plants
Reactors, substations, gas terminals.
Aviation
Airports
Runways, taxiways, perimeter.
Maritime
Ports
Quay, terminal, anchored fleet.
