The battlefield is asymmetric.
A €1,000 drone threatens infrastructure worth hundreds of millions. Legacy defense costs 500 times 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 on the order of 500× the attacker. Drone setup runs about 2 min; legacy setup runs 2 to 6 h. |
| Design target | Defeat the threat at 10× under attacker cost, deployed by one operator in five minutes. |
TDS-S re-shapes the curve.
A compact, autonomous anti-drone system that detects, classifies, and defeats weaponised UAS at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems. One operator. One crate.
| 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. |
One unit holds a circle. A network holds a region.
Each TDS-S projects a 500 m protection radius. Add units and the rings overlap, the edge-AI nodes share tracks, and the gaps close. Coverage scales from a single asset to a full theater without a central dependency.
One unit
A single crate covers a 500 m radius around one high-value site. Detect, classify, decide, engage, all on the edge.
N units
Networked units share contact tracks and overlap their envelopes. The mesh closes the seams between circles into continuous cover.
Theater coverage
At scale the network blankets a region: medical, energy, aviation and maritime sites under one continuous, overlapping dome.
One crate.
Five minutes to live.
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.
Detect. Classify. Decide. Engage.
Detect
Continuous 360° electro-optical scan, day and night. IR fusion extends night coverage to the full 500 m envelope.
Classify
Edge-inference AI distinguishes UAS from birds, aircraft, and other traffic. No cloud dependency.
Decide
Operator-in-the-loop by default. Fully autonomous scan and engage mode available for 24/7 unattended operation.
Engage
Kinetic interceptor defeats the UAS. Effective against EMS/jamming-resistant threats, FPV and autonomous swarms.
High-value, civilian-adjacent sites.
Field hospitals
Protect mobile surgical units and casualty evacuation.
Power plants
Shield reactors, substations, gas terminals.
Airports
Cover runways, taxiways and perimeter.
Ports
Defend quay, terminal and anchored fleet.
