Small UAS and FPVs that threaten to tactically and strategically defeat the US
Why it mattersWe develop and deploy software, hardware and munition systems tailored to defeat the sUAS and FPV (drone) threat on the tactical battlefield. FPV UAS account for over 80% of the battlefield casualties in Ukraine. These systems have dramatically changed warfare, and the US lacks sufficient defenses to protect our forces and win the future fight. Current cUAS systems and operations are based on obsolete air defense and air dominance strategies. The war in Ukraine shows that cUAS needs to be thought of as a force protection measure that can be rapidly rolled out to the entire force. Our systems are designed to protect everyone, everything, everywhere, all the time, what we call E3AT2. From the individual Soldier to a $100mil aircraft, our systems can provide needed protection where other systems cannot.
