US Army turns to Ukraine-tested drones to counter Iranian UAV threat
The U.S. Army has procured 13,000 Merops interceptor drones, first tested in Ukraine, to counter Iranian Shahed drones. This initiative aims to leverage cost-effective air defense solutions against massed drone attacks.
US Army turns to Ukraine-tested drones to counter Iranian UAV threat
The U.S. Army is deploying Merops interceptor drones, initially tested in Ukraine, to counter Iranian Shahed drones. These cost-effective interceptors are designed to shift the economics of air defense in favor of the U.S. by offering a cheaper alternative to traditional systems.
Echodyne geselecteerd als radarsysteem voor het Air Force Counter-UAS engineeringcontract van $490M van Trust Automation
Echodyne's EchoShield radar has been selected as the primary radar system for Trust Automation's SUADS (Small-Unmanned Air Defense System) platforms, fulfilling a potential $490 million Air Force contract. The SUADS platforms – RD-SUADS, FS-SUADS, and EX-SUADS – are designed for rapid deployment, fixed site protection, and expeditionary use, respectively, and all adhere to the SOSA standard. EchoShield utilizes Recursive Neural Network (RvNN) machine learning for enhanced drone tracking and classification.
Echodyne als Radarsystem für den 490-Millionen-Dollar-Auftrag der US-Luftwaffe zur Entwicklung eines UAS-Abwehrsystems von Trust Automation ausgewählt
Echodyne's EchoShield radar system has been selected as the primary radar for Trust Automation's Small-Unmanned Air Defense System (SUADS) under a $490 million US Air Force contract. The SUADS will be deployed in three configurations: rapidly deployable, fixed site, and expeditionary, all adhering to the SOSA standard. EchoShield utilizes machine learning for accurate drone tracking and classification, enabling faster and more precise counter-UAS responses.
