Defense must always be cheaper than attack.

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.

SCROLL
01The ProblemRef · Unit Economics

The battlefield is asymmetric.

A €1,000 drone threatens infrastructure worth hundreds of millions. Conventional defenses cost orders of magnitude more. The math no longer works.

Threat cost
A single weaponised UAS can be fielded for about €1,000.
Asset at risk
€100M+ in value per exposed asset (reactors, terminals, runways, surgical units).
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 five minutes.

A compact, autonomous anti-drone system that detects, classifies, and defeats weaponised UAS at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems. Single operator. Single crate.

In motion.

Field footage of the system on station. Detect, classify, decide and engage, at a fraction of the cost of legacy interceptors.

03How It WorksDetect · Classify · Decide · Engage

Detect. Classify. Decide. Engage.

01

Detect

Continuous 360° electro-optical scan, day and night. IR fusion extends night coverage to the full 500 m envelope.

02

Classify

Edge-inference AI distinguishes UAS from birds, aircraft, and other traffic. No cloud dependency.

03

Decide

Operator-in-the-loop by default. Fully autonomous scan and engage mode available for 24/7 unattended operation.

04

Engage

Kinetic interceptor defeats the UAS. Effective against EMS/jamming-resistant threats, FPV and autonomous swarms.
