Counter UAS
Uncrewed Air Systems (UAS) present a rapidly-evolving threat in both military warfare and civilian scenarios. This technology is more accessible commercially and financially to a growing number of nefarious actors. These platforms range from off the shelf (COTS/MOTS) to a more sophisticated high level military grade technology, increasing the imagination of the end-users’ tactics and cases.

To address this, Leonardo has developed and delivered operationally-proven, innovative, scalable, layered Counter-UAS (CUAS) capability in the form of our Falcon Shield product. It is designed to detect, track, identify and provide mitigation options, providing operators with the facilities to neutralise drones of all types and sizes. Falcon Shield employs Leonardo’s best of breed approach, delivering extensive performance in sensing and warning capabilities, exploiting the company’s electro optical sensor package and advanced radio frequency effector technology.
