The Problem
A €1,000 drone threatens assets worth hundreds of millions. Conventional defenses cost orders of magnitude more.
| Threat cost | One weaponised UAS: about €1,000. |
| Asset at risk | €100M+ per exposed site: reactors, terminals, runways, surgical units. |
| Legacy deficit | Up to 100× the attacker's cost. Conventional air defense is slow to emplace by comparison. |
| Design target | 10× under attacker cost. One operator, five minutes. |

Continuous EO scan
| Detection | Continuous 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 scan and engage optional. |
| Effector | Kinetic interceptor. EMS/jamming-resistant, FPV and swarm capable. |
| Scaling | 500 m radius per unit, networkable for area coverage. |
Multi-rail launcher.
EO/IR sensor head.
One crate. Deployed in five minutes by a single operator.
How 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 unattended cover.
04
Engage
Kinetic interceptor defeats the UAS. Effective against jamming-resistant FPV and swarms.
Protected Sites
