DroneShield adds radar to drone detection system

Drone countermeasure manufacturer DroneShield Lhas added long-range RADA RPS-82 radar capabilities to its flagship DroneSentry drone detection system.

RPS-82 provides DroneSentry operators with a significantly enhanced radar detection, classification and tracking range for wide area, multi-mission requirements, according to the Sydney company.

“With DroneSentry’s compatibility with multiple radar platforms, DroneShield can offer both high-performance and cost-effective solutions to meet any customer requirement and/or budget.”

RADA is a leading counter-UAS radar system manufacturer, with a radar product family fielded widely by the US DoD.

The Company is offering RADA RPS-82 radars with its DroneSentry solutions, available now to existing and prospective customers.

DroneShield’s CTO Angus Bean said: “DroneShield is unique globally, in being both a sensor maker and an integrator, developing and manufacturing all of our products, except for the hardware of radars and cameras, where we partner with best-in-breed specialist manufacturers.”

DroneShield’s radiofrequency sensors remain the core way of detecting drones. Where customer’s deployment scenario and budget allow, multi-sensor detection provides a superior approach, when managed by an intelligent C2 software.

Alongside of integration of RPS-82, the Company has significantly upgraded its Blue Mountains, Sydney remotely operated facility, including integrating the RADA RPS-82 radar system, permanently installed onsite.
