Counter-Unmanned Aerial System

Countering the Emerging UAS Threat:

Innovative Solutions for a Safer Tomorrow

As the threat of unmanned aerial systems continues to escalate, a new generation of defense solutions is needed to safeguard people, assets, and infrastructure.

Lockheed Martin is leading the charge with a Scalable Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solution designed to address the evolving threat of small Unmanned Aerial Systems.

This modular, open-architecture system integrates combat-proven command and control with artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled detection and tracking software, along with low-cost sensors, to provide a comprehensive defense against individual drones and drone swarms.

The Lockheed Martin Advantage   ___
Find, Track, and Target the Full Range of Drones

Find, Track, and Target the Full Range of Drones

From hobbyist quadcopters to advanced autonomous systems, our system combines layers of sensor feeds with AI fusion to detect and identify any class of drones. 
Match the Effector to the Threat – Fast

Match the Effector to the Threat – Fast

Different drone threats call for different effectors, from low-cost lasers or electronic warfare to affordable missile systems. Our system optimizes the response, so operators can quickly task the right effector with each incoming threat. 
Scale to Meet Your Mission Needs

Scale to Meet Your Mission Needs

Whether you are defending a sprawling base or a critical facility, our system scales to efficiently meet your needs. And with an open architecture, it will plug into your existing or future sensors, effectors, or networks to give you better mission value and a strong return on investment.
