Overview

Multi-domain operations and the pace of modern combat require a balance of offensive and defensive capabilities.

Retaining existing overmatch includes enhancing platform survivability against increasingly lethal threats as well as protecting formations from Unmanned Aerial Systems and other airborne threats.

Leonardo DRS delivers solutions today that detect, identify, track, and defeat Group 1-3 UAS, rotary-wing, and fixed-wing threats, enabling Warfighters to maneuver with confidence, while leveraging precision ground-to-air and ground-to-ground lethality.

Our systems defend against the threat of UAS attacks with next generation, multi-mission radar systems, short range air defense (SHORAD) systems, and electromagnetic attack radiator technology.

Air Defense Systems

Counter-UAS (C-UAS)

Leonardo DRS Counter-UAS solutions provide Warfighters with the ability to detect, identify, track, and defeat Group 1-3 UAS threats in dynamic and contested environments. Designed to counter the growing use of unmanned aerial systems on the battlefield, these systems safeguard formations and critical assets by neutralizing hostile UAS before they can disrupt operations.

Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD)

M-SHORAD is a system that can defend Brigade Combat teams against aerial threats with multiple avenues of attack. A purpose-built Stryker with M-SHORAD capability can detect and destroy targets including group 3 UAS, rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft.

This system provides Warfighters with proper balance of mobility, protection, and firepower to maneuver and destroy any threat.

Tactical Expeditionary Radars

Leonardo DRS multi-mission radars give Warfighters the flexibility they need.

These tactical radars can each handle hundreds of targets at a time and operate automatically through advanced signal processing algorithms. Their high doppler resolution provides fast and accurate threat detection and classification, with the ability to track nano drones up to 18 km away. Our radars can be easily configured and installed on a multitude of vehicles and stand-alone setups.
