Skid Deployment System (SDS)

A vehicle-agnostic, rapidly reconfigurable skid for mounting multi-mission tactical AESA radars that deliver continuous 360° detection and on-the-move operation for force protection & ISR.

Expeditionary Radar Skid

The Skid Deployment System (SDS) is a modular, expeditionary skid based system engineered to rapidly field CUAS radar capability for vehicles, trailers, or stationary tripods. Designed for rapid deployment and mission adaptability, the SDS supports continuous on-the-move surveillance and fast reconfiguration to meet evolving tactical multi-missions.
