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.

| Detection | 360° electro-optical scan, day and night. 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.
Detect
360° electro-optical scan, day and night. IR fusion to the full 500 m envelope.
Classify
Edge-AI separates UAS from birds, aircraft and traffic. No cloud.
Decide
Operator-in-the-loop by default. Fully autonomous mode for 24/7 cover.
Engage
Kinetic interceptor defeats the UAS. Effective against jamming-resistant FPV and swarms.
