“Our flagship Sky Warden modular C-UAS system is designed to evolve on the similar fast pace because the drone menace the world now faces, as demonstrated so successfully in current trials. This newest effector resolution reveals MBDA in our greatest mild: revolutionary and agile, adapting to the setting round us, and anticipating our prospects’ wants. The thrilling advance MBDA have made with this effector is in creating an unbiased warhead design that operators can add to a drone within the battlefield. It demonstrates our collaboration DNA, partnering with an rising expertise firm to create a brand new low-cost counter drone effector.”
The corporate can even draw on its current profitable operational demonstration, the place MBDA’s flagship C-UAS resolution demonstrated its capabilities to 17 buyer delegations.These current buyer demonstrations noticed Sky Warden confronted with a variety of offensive drone threats – with various kinetic traits and in lifelike operational situations – neutralising all of them. Utilizing synthetic intelligence (AI) to help its human operators to determine and classify the completely different threats from its full set of sensors (radar, passive RF, electro-optical cameras, and so on.), Sky Warden mechanically assigned to essentially the most applicable and out there effector maximising the effectivity.
Within the menace situations Sky Warden confronted, it blocked attacking drones with jammers, captured them with hunter drones, neutralised them in fast sequence by laser, and destroyed a ‘shahed-like’ drone with a Mistral 3 missile at very lengthy distance.With the assessments of its new effector idea and the current demonstration in Italy, MBDA sees an RF guided drone-style effector with a directional fragmenting warhead complementing the results that Sky Warden already offers, giving prospects extra choices to adapt it to their most popular wants.Drawn from MBDA’s extensive expertise in air defence and results administration, Sky Warden is a scalable system that may successfully neutralise any type of menace, from tactical drones to reconnaissance mini-drones, in addition to different conventional ‘air respiration’ threats.
The system manages the total C-UAS kill chain from detection to neutralisation and is designed to function each as an built-in part in a layered air defence structure, or in a standalone configuration. Utilizing a networked eco-system of regularly evolving sensors and effectors, Sky Warden matches the UAS menace and its evolutions. Whether or not automobile mounted or dismounted, Sky Warden satisfies the necessity for each mobility and deployment. Being modular, scalable, and evolvable, buyer can tailor Sky Warden to their particular necessities.
