Autonomous anti-drone defense, engineered to a price.
TDS-S detects, classifies, decides and engages weaponised UAS at a fraction of the cost of legacy interceptors. One operator. One crate. Five minutes to live.
Design Rationale
REF · UNIT ECONOMICS| Threat cost | A single weaponised UAS can be fielded for ≈ €1,000. |
| Asset at risk | Protected infrastructure valued at €100M and above per site. |
| Legacy deficit | Conventional interceptors cost up to 100× the attacker's cost. Conventional air defense is slow to emplace by comparison. |
| Design target | Defeat the threat at 10× under attacker cost, deployed by one operator in 5 minutes. |
System Specification
TDS-S| Detection | Continuous 360° electro-optical scan, day/night. |
| Night coverage | IR fusion to full 500 m envelope. |
| Classification | Edge-inference AI. No cloud dependency. |
| Control mode | Operator-in-the-loop; autonomous scan & engage optional. |
| Effector | Kinetic interceptor. EMS/jamming-resistant, FPV & swarm capable. |
| Scaling | 500 m radius per unit, networkable for area coverage. |
Engagement Sequence
DETECT · CLASSIFY · DECIDE · ENGAGEDetect
360° EO scan, day and night. IR fusion extends coverage to the full 500 m envelope.
Classify
Edge-inference AI separates UAS from birds, aircraft, and other traffic.
Decide
Operator-in-the-loop by default; fully autonomous mode for 24/7 unattended operation.
Engage
Kinetic interceptor defeats the UAS, including jamming-resistant and swarm threats.
