10 Apr 25. Handheld counter-drone devices headed to deploying Marine units. Marine Corps Sgt. Deploying dismounted Marine units will soon field handheld counter-drone system prototypes as the service also bulks up their drone protection on fixed bases. Those systems, paired with an increased emphasis on air defense training for all Marines, are part of how the Corps is getting after the drone threat. The announcement came Tuesday at the Navy League’s annual Sea, Air and Space Exposition during a panel on Marine Corps modernization.
“It has been a long time, maybe since World War II, since a member of an infantry squad on the ground actually had to look up or over his shoulder do anything other than clear an aircraft hot, or call in a medevac or something like that,” said Lt. Gen. Benjamin Watson, head of Training and Education Command.
The Marine Corps provided few details about the prototypes, citing security concerns.
“As a matter of operational security, the exact technologies will not be discussed, but the interim solution fielded will allow Marines to detect, track, identify, and kinetically and non-kinetically defeat adversary [small unmanned aircraft systems] in a dismounted formation,” according to a release.
Watson noted that in the Cold War era, Marines commonly trained in defending small units from air attack. That was less necessary during the era of complete air superiority that troops experienced in recent wars.
A return to cover, concealment and camouflage focus is also part of the initiative, Watson said.
“We may never fight again with the air superiority in the way we have traditionally come to appreciate it,” Watson said.
The protection isn’t just for the infantry, either.
“One of the things that is apparent to all of us is that unmanned aerial systems are a threat not just to infantry Marines, but to all Marines,” said Lt. Gen. Eric Austin, head of Combat Development Command.
Those deploying units are likely going to be the Marine Expeditionary Units and Marine Littoral Regiments, a Marine official told Marine Corps Times.
The handheld dismounted prototypes are for defeating small drone threats, which thwart small, dismounted units. The Corps also has a larger ground-based air defense program known as GBAD, which works against larger threats, such as missiles and mortars.
“Current Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) capabilities that are being fielded today predominantly focus on mounted platforms organic to the Low Altitude Air Defense Battalions (LAAD Bn) and the Littoral Anti-Air Battalions (LAAB), which encompass the entire air defense continuum up to and including defeating manned aircraft and cruise missile threats,” according to a Marine release. “Those dedicated air defense assets are not always practical or available at scale to support individual unit operations.”
The selection came after a year-long review process and a fly-off, which pitted various systems against each other in September, officials said.
In March, the Corps awarded a $642 million, 10-year contract to Anduril to provide installation-based, counter-drone equipment to protect Marine bases and fixed sites. The same company received a $200 million contract to develop the Marine Air Defense Integrated System in November. The MADIS and L-MADIS, a light version, are key to protecting disparate, disaggregated units from a range of airborne threats. (Source: Defense News)
10 Apr 25. Allen Control Systems (ACS), a leader in autonomous precision robotics for defense, announced the successful demonstration of its Bullfrog™ robotic weapon station at Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PCC5), held from February 26 to March 16 at Fort Irwin, Calif. Bullfrog transforms legacy or modern weapons into precision-targeting systems using artificial intelligence, computer vision, and proprietary control systems significantly increasing their accuracy against unmanned threats. During Project Convergence, Bullfrog proved its readiness to meet the demands of future conflict by engaging its largest drone swarm to date, confirming kills on all 7 drone targets within range during a breach scenario.
“Bullfrog delivers the precision and cost-effectiveness required for the modern battlefield,” said Mike Wior, co-founder and CEO, Allen Control Systems. “At PCC5, we demonstrated not only the lethal effectiveness of Bullfrog, but also its rapid deployment, intuitive usability, and ability to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure. This is a new class of autonomous defense capability, and we’re just getting started.”
Key highlights from the PCC5 demonstration include:
- High-Speed Operator Training: Over 40 Soldiers from multiple Military Occupational Specialties became fully qualified on Bullfrog in under 30 minutes—highlighting its intuitive interface, ease of integration with legacy equipment, and cost effectiveness.
- Autonomous Swarm Engagement: In the system’s largest engagement to date, Bullfrog autonomously identified and neutralized 7 in-range drones during a complex, high-intensity scenario—each adjudicated by Sidewinder 20, CPT Allison Carlisle.
- Rapid Deployment: The Bullfrog system transitioned from storage to operational readiness in less than 2 minutes, minimizing cognitive load and enabling immediate threat response.
Project Convergence offered an opportunity to test Bullfrog in real-world field conditions, generating insights that will further enhance the system’s durability, target-switching efficiency, and low-light performance. Despite limitations in scenario reconfiguration due to environmental constraints, ACS delivered consistent results and demonstrated the platform’s adaptability in dynamic, multi-domain operational environments.
Bullfrog continues to prove itself across the three most critical military requirements: effectiveness, ease of use, and cost-efficiency. By leveraging existing weapon systems and reducing the cost-per-kill to the price of a single bullet, ACS is radically redefining the economics of unmanned threat defense. (Source: BUSINESS WIRE)
09 Apr 25. Space situational awareness firm LeoLabs has unveiled a new mobile radar system for monitoring objects in low-Earth orbit. Making the announcement at the annual Space Symposium in Colorado, the company said the device could be easily transported for “rapid deployment” and could monitor threats such as foreign launches. LeoLabs is best known in Australia for its West Australian Space Radar, which was unveiled in 2023. The site, along with others globally, tracks tens of thousands of objects in LEO before its software uses AI to process the millions of measurements collected. It comes with space companies increasingly concerned with the amount of debris in orbit and governments turning to commercial businesses for off-the-shelf-style surveillance. The new radar, named Scout, is a “containerised S-band Direct Radiating Array (DRA)” that can be deployed alone or in more extensive networks.
“By integrating next-generation and legacy radars, LeoLabs is creating a resilient, low-latency network for persistent orbital Intelligence,” said the firm.
“As we deploy new radar classes and technologies, LeoLabs continues to expand our capabilities across mission sets and orbital regimes, enhancing our ability to detect, track, and characterise objects and activity in space.” (Source: Space Connect)
08 Apr 25. After IVAS: Army reveals timeline for new augmented reality race, to name winners in August. The service unveiled its competition timeline this week that will have vendors demoing hardware by the end of May ahead of projected rapid prototyping awards in late summer. By August the US Army plans to select at least one company to proceed with the design and prototype for a new version of its troubled mixed-reality heads display, according to a new competition schedule. Industry has been awaiting plans for the service’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) recompete, dubbed the Soldier Borne Mission Command, and on Monday received a tentative competition roadmap online. In its bid to move the competition along at a quicker pace, the Army is once again using an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) pathway and will give interested companies until mid-May to submit white papers before demoing their hardware later that month. Based on feedback, the service then plans to officially issue a request for prototype proposals in mid-June before awarding at least one OTA contract by the end of August.
“The government is still developing the evaluation criteria; however, the government’s intent is that the technical merit of the vendor’s solution is the most important factor during evaluations at each step,” the Army notice said.
“The government’s intent is to award agreement(s) to prime contractor(s) who provide full solutions,” the service separately added. “The number of awards will be dependent on available funding, to include proposed vendor cost share, if applicable.”
Those winners will then have seven months, or until roughly March 2026, to begin delivering prototypes.
Plans to hold the new Soldier Borne Mission Command competition, previously known as IVAS Next, have been in the works for some time and emerged after a series of roadblocks with the original IVAS program, which centered around a device derived from Microsoft’s commercially available HoloLens 2 heads-up display. By militarizing it, the service and Microsoft sought to provide soldiers with a capability suitable for both combat and virtual training, including under the cover of darkness. Microsoft eventually secured a 10-year production contract valued up to $22 bn, but shortly after that 2021 award, a host of problems publicly emerged, including soldiers complaining of discomfort, dizziness, nausea, and system reliability. After a series of fits and starts, Army leaders eventually revamped the program by splitting it up into three initial versions of the googles — the 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. (The service acquired 5,000 1.0 units and outlined plans to possibly acquire an additional 5,000 1.1 units for limited use.) Version 1.2 was billed as the key make-or-break upgrade — an iteration to correct past problems, in part, by transitioning the device from a helmet-like display with a 70-degree field-of-view, to a hinged, flat design with a 60-degree field-of-view that soldiers can flip up. As it pursues the new Soldier Borne Mission Command competition, the Army has also been testing the 1.2 design, though it has yet to disclose key takeaways. However, the head of Program Executive Office Soldier, Maj. Gen. Christopher Schneider, told Breaking Defense last month he has received “really great feedback” from soldiers using IVAS 1.2.
“We have some decisions that we have to make, and I think we’re going to be pretty close to having those resolved,” the two-star general added. “In the next month or so, we’ll be able to talk on the way ahead.”
While this week’s competition timeline is one piece of that way ahead, more questions remain. For example, Microsoft announced in February that it wanted to transfer its entire IVAS contract over to Anduril, a plan that the defense start-up said today has not yet been approved, but one that Schneider previously said provides “some huge opportunities” for the service. He did not detail just what that meant.
It also isn’t clear if the Army will end up buying any IVAS 1.2 devices beyond the test articles. But for now, Lt. Gen. Robert Collins, the service’s top uniformed acquisition official, said the Army is “not currently” planning to buy a large quantity of IVAS 1.2.
“We are committed to IVAS and continue to improve that system,” Collins told reporters last month. “We’re continuing in the prototype [phase], and we’re learning to iterate … to make sure that we’ve got the requirements right.” (Source: Breaking Defense.com)
09 Apr 25. Britain looking for new early warning aircraft for carriers. The Ministry of Defence has launched a market engagement exercise seeking potential solutions for a new airborne early warning system to protect the Royal Navy’s aircraft carriers and their accompanying strike groups. Published on April 9th via Find a Tender, the notice — titled Carrier Strike Airborne Early Warning Initial Market Engagement — is “not a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB)”, but instead “a market research tool being used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential sources for planning purposes only.” The proposed system would operate from the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers and provide “persistent 24-hour surveillance” in support of Carrier Strike Group operations. This includes the carriers themselves, escort destroyers and frigates, and auxiliary support vessels. According to the notice, “the primary purpose of the system will be to provide the Carrier Strike Group… with sufficient warning of difficult air and surface threats inclusive of modern anti-ship guided weapons and strike aircraft to allow for effective counter threat action.” The MOD is exploring options to sustain and enhance its current airborne early warning capabilities beyond the currently fielded Crowsnest system. The notice highlights that this initiative is tied to the outcomes of the ongoing Strategic Defence Review and is “not informing the market of an imminent procurement.” The MOD estimates the potential value of the future programme at between £500m and £1.5bn, with the current working figure noted as £1bn excluding VAT. Contract delivery is estimated to begin as early as January 2027, with service introduction sometime between 2030 and 2035, subject to review outcomes. While the Royal Navy’s current airborne surveillance system uses Merlin helicopters fitted with the Crowsnest radar, the notice hints at broader interest in potential future solutions — including alternatives to traditional manned aircraft.
The MOD states: “The implementation options in the RFI are not prescribed, so we are interested in views from all interested parties on the best possible solution.” This could open the door to solutions including fixed-wing aircraft, drone-based systems, or unmanned rotary platforms equipped with advanced sensors.
The market engagement aims to test the assumption that “there are very limited, if not a single, supplier solution(s) to meet the requirement in terms of performance and time.”
Next Steps
Responses to the RFI are due by 17:00 on 6 May 2025, with the MoD encouraging industry input via a Microsoft Form. “Where relevant and appropriate, this market engagement event may be followed by further engagement exercises,” the notice adds. The MoD makes clear this is not yet a procurement, stating:
“All costs pertaining to the completion of this response are to be borne by the responders,” and that “procurement dates and values… should not be viewed as a firm commitment.” (Source: News Now/https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/)
09 Apr 25. Cuashub.com said today that Authorities work to tackle drone smuggling over UK prisons. West Mercia Police have seized seven drones and arrested 18 individuals as part of a coordinated effort to disrupt drone smuggling over HMP Long Lartin, a high-security prison in the rural village of South Littleton in the UK. The operation is part of an ongoing campaign to combat the increasing use of drones by organized crime groups to deliver contraband, such as drugs and mobile phones, into the prison. These aerial deliveries are known as “drone drops” and have become a growing security issue, both within the prison and in surrounding communities. HMP Long Lartin, a Category A men’s prison, has seen a spike in drone-related incidents in recent years. In response, police and prison authorities have intensified surveillance and intelligence-sharing efforts to intercept illegal drone flights and identify those responsible.
Detective Chief Inspector James Bamber of South Worcestershire emphasized the seriousness of the issue: “We recognise that these drone incursions are also impacting our communities local to HMP Long Lartin. We are working tirelessly alongside our partners to identify, target and prosecute the criminals behind these illicit operations.”
The police have launched nine active investigations, with suspects either bailed or released under investigation. The most recent incident occurred on March 17, when a drone was spotted flying over the prison. Officers responded within minutes, preventing any drop from taking place.
Authorities believe offenders often scout the prison’s perimeter from nearby villages, looking for secluded locations to operate drones undetected. Local residents are being asked to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, particularly unfamiliar vehicles or drones in flight.
“Our local communities are our eyes and ears on the ground,” said DCI Bamber. “Information which has previously been reported to us has directly led to drones being intercepted and arrests being made.”
The crackdown is part of a broader national challenge, as prisons across the UK contend with the evolving threat posed by drone-enabled smuggling. West Mercia Police stress that they will maintain pressure on these networks and encourage the public to continue sharing intelligence that could help disrupt future drone drops.

09 Apr 25. Cuashub.com said today that Arrest made following Comerica Park Stadium drone incursion. A drone was flown into Comerica Park stadium during the Detroit Tigers’ home opener on Friday afternoon, prompting a police response and the arrest of one individual, according to authorities. The incident occurred approximately 30 minutes after the first pitch of the game against the Chicago White Sox. Detroit police say the drone originated from the top floor of a parking garage at Brush Street and East Adams Avenue, just outside the stadium’s main entrance. The drone operator was apprehended near the garage, and the case is now under investigation by both the Detroit Police Department and the Michigan State Police. A warrant request has been submitted and is currently being reviewed by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. While the Federal Bureau of Investigation was initially mentioned as involved, the agency later issued a standard statement to local authorities saying it neither confirms nor denies the existence of investigations. The drone’s presence in the stadium did not visibly disrupt the game, however the incident has raised renewed concerns about unauthorised drone activity over large public gatherings, particularly in urban venues with high attendance. This is not the first time Comerica Park has dealt with drone-related security issues. In September 2024, a Green Day concert at the same stadium was briefly halted after a drone was spotted overhead. The band was temporarily removed from the stage out of caution, and the drone operator was later arrested outside the venue. Officials have not disclosed the type of drone used in Friday’s incident or whether it carried any additional payload. There were no injuries reported, and authorities say further updates will follow once the investigation progresses. Local law enforcement continues to urge the public to avoid flying drones near sports venues, concerts or other crowded events, noting both safety and legal implications under federal and local airspace regulations. https://cuashub.com/en/content/arrest-made-following-comerica-park-stadium-drone-incursion/ (Source: https://cuashub.com/)
09 Apr 25. Axon Vision and CSG Form Strategic Partnership to Modernize Czech Armored Vehicles, Securing Initial Order for AI-Powered Situational Awareness Systems. Axon Vision announced a strategic partnership with Czechoslovak Group (CSG) from the Czech Republic, one of the largest defense companies in Europe. The collaboration and initial order, led within CSG by its subsidiary Retia, a renowned provider of defense technology, marks the first step in a broader partnership to modernize European armored vehicle fleets and pursue various opportunities in the region. Retia closely cooperates with Tatra Defense Vehicle (TDV), which is a manufacturer of various types of armored vehicles, including the PANDUR 8×8 EVO. As part of this collaboration, Retia has selected Axon Vision’s EdgeSA AI-based situational awareness system to enhance the capabilities of the PANDUR 8×8 EVO and offer it to potential customers around the world. This strategic agreement follows an extensive competitive evaluation process, during which Axon Vision’s technology demonstrated superior performance in every aspect. Retia market brand has been announced as SAAV – Situational Awareness for Armored Vehicles, and includes not only EdgeSA itself, but also integration activities needed for different types of armored vehicles.
“As part of our projects, which we carry out in cooperation with other companies within the CSG group, we create products for our customers that meet the highest standards. To achieve this, we need reliable and top-tier partners with high-tech products. That is why we chose to collaborate with Axon Vision on the PANDUR 8×8 EVO project,” said Jan Mikulecký, CEO of Retia.
EdgeSA, Axon Vision’s AI-based situational awareness system, enables armored vehicle crews to operate with enhanced battlefield perception, and provides early warning of battlefield threats, even in closed-hatch operations. By fusing data from multiple sensors in real time, EdgeSA reduces cognitive load on commanders and crew, automates target detection, and optimizes battlefield decision-making. This strategic agreement marks the start of a long-term collaboration between Axon Vision and Retia, positioning Axon Vision as a key partner in the modernization of European armored vehicle fleets. While initially focused on the PANDUR fleet, the collaboration paves the way for integrating EdgeSA into other platforms, including the TADEAS 6×6 produced by TDV, as well as exploring additional opportunities across Europe.
“Since its establishment, TDV has cooperated with Israeli companies, which enables us to offer our customers powerful and efficient armoured vehicles. These vehicles require high-quality electronic systems and software to operate effectively – and this applies to our latest models, the PANDUR 8×8 EVO and the TADEAS 6×6. So, we hope that our cooperation with Axon Vision will help us succeed with these vehicles on the most demanding markets,” explained TDV’s CEO Tomáš Mohapl.
“Our AI-powered situational awareness technology is redefining armored vehicle operations, delivering real-time, actionable intelligence that maximizes survivability and mission effectiveness,” said BG. (Ret.) Roy Riftin, CEO of Axon Vision. “This selection highlights Axon Vision’s growing presence in the European defense market and reinforces its role as an integrator of AI-driven defense solutions.”
Axon Vision’s AI-driven solutions are modular and platform-agnostic, seamlessly integrating with both legacy and next-generation military systems. By bridging the gap between human operators and machine intelligence, Axon Vision enables faster, more precise battlefield responses. Already deployed by customers worldwide, the company’s technology supports both manned and unmanned platforms across land, air, and sea.
08 Apr 25. Epirus debuts high-power microwave weapon to knock out boat motors. Leonidas H2O “was effective against vessel motors at record ranges” during the U.S. Navy’s Advanced Technology Exercise Coastal Trident event in Crane, Indiana, held in August 2024, according to the announcement. The system knocked out four commercially available vessel motors, varying in horsepower from 40 to 90 “at a multitude of ranges,” it noted. The Pentagon “has spent years of research and development and spent tens-of-ms of dollars into developing a non-kinetic vessel stop solution, with no operational system deployed to date. With Leonidas H2O, we are bringing forth a technology with demonstrated effectiveness to fill this capability gap, today,” Epirus CEO Andy Lowery said in the statement. The California-based company debuted its ground-based system designed to protect forward operating bases from incoming swarm threats in 2020 and has since proven Leonidas can adapt to other platforms, including being mounted on a drone in a pod.
“Leonidas, by its nature, it’s just an old-fashioned platform. We’ve made force fields … of electromagnetic energy,” Lowery told Defense News. “Whether that electromagnetic energy spoils a drone’s electronics from working correctly or spoils a boat’s motor, or use your imagination, anything with little computers in it and stuff, is susceptible to these persistent fields of energy.”
The recent Navy exercise proved the system — scaled down to a third of its original size — could go up against “a whole bunch of different types of boat motors out there,” Lowery said. It did so despite testing restrictions at the range limiting it from operating at full strength and from using certain frequencies. Lowery noted that the system was effective up to nearly 100 meters working at half power. The technology would come in handy at ports and close to coastlines, where kinetic defenses would not be a good option, Lowery said.
Adapting Leonidas for marine operations meant the company took into account that it would endure the corrosive effects of salt water, but otherwise, “the system works more or less the same,” Lowery said. “Except for one item,” he added. “It kind of uses the water as a mirror, and so [we] can use the water to our advantage, that is it hits certain spots in even further distances by using reflections off the water.”
Because of the beams’ behavior on water, the company made adaptations to the software, he noted.
One limitation of the system is that it does not work under water.
“The frequencies just don’t propagate under water. They just stop dead in like an inch of travel,” Lowery said.
Epirus continues to work to get the capability into the hands of service members. There are two systems deployed with the Army in the U.S. Central Command area of operations and a few others going to another operational area, Lowery said. (Source: C4ISR & Networks)
07 Apr 25. Marine Corps introduces drone attack team. The U.S. Marine Corps is spearheading a new drone attack team in response to the proliferation of unmanned aerial combat internationally, according to the service. The commanding general of training command, Maj. Gen. Anthony M. Henderson, along with the commanding general of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, Brig. Gen. Simon M. Doran, established the Marine Corps Attack Drone Team, or MCADT, on Jan. 3. The team will focus on integrating first-person view drones — aerial vehicles that transmit a live feed of their bird’s-eye view to remote displays — into the Fleet Marine Force.
“Today’s battlefield is changing rapidly, and we must adapt just as quickly. The Marine Corps Attack Drone Team will ensure that our warfighters remain at the forefront of precision drone employment, providing a critical advantage in future conflicts,” said Maj. Alejandro Tavizon, the Weapons Training Battalion Headquarters Company commander and officer in charge of MCADT.
The team, based at Weapons Training Battalion at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, is set to “develop and refine” armed first-person view drone training, speed up the timeline for the technology’s fielding and provide instruction through live training events. MCADT will soon make its competition debut at the U.S. National Drone Association’s Military Drone Crucible Championship, which will take place from June 30 to July 3 in Florida. The team will compete against the 75th Ranger Regiment, among other units, by completing tactical missions that simulate combat. The Marine Corps is particularly focused on the financial implications of drones. In a statement, the service noted the technology offered a range of up to 20 kilometers for under $5,000, a metric it says is more cost-effective than other costly weapons systems.
“Right now, our focus is on rapidly building proficiency by sending Marines to a variety of training courses and increasing hands-on familiarization,” Tavizon said. “Our goal is to ensure they can not only operate these systems effectively but also integrate them seamlessly into a team. This means mastering primary platforms, having redundancy with backup systems, and getting the necessary repetitions to employ payloads with precision under real-world conditions.”
Ukraine and Russia have employed the use of drones in their years-long war. Most recently, Russia launched 109 drones in a recent attack, according to The Kyiv Independent. Yemen Houthi rebels — a militant group the U.S. has ramped up attacks against recently — have also relied on drone warfare to wreak havoc against vessels in the Red Sea.

07 Apr 25. Cuashub.com said today that Mumbai Police imposes ban on drones, citing security concerns. The Mumbai Police have imposed a temporary ban on the operation of drones, remote-controlled microlight aircraft, paragliders and hot air balloons within city limits, citing potential terrorist threats and public safety concerns. The ban, which took effect on April 4 and will remain in place until May 5, was announced through a prohibitory order. Authorities say the move is a precautionary measure to mitigate risks posed by aerial platforms that could be exploited by terrorist groups or other anti-social actors. According to the order, such flying objects may be used to target high-profile individuals or densely populated areas, posing significant threats to public safety and infrastructure.
“In order to prevent possible acts of sabotage and ensure the safety of citizens and VVIPs, restrictions are required on the operation of aerial devices that may be misused for hostile purposes,” the order stated.
The prohibition applies to all private aerial activity within the jurisdiction of the Mumbai Police, with exceptions granted only for official law enforcement operations or by specific authorization from the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations).
Violators of the ban may face legal action under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with disobedience to lawful orders issued by public servants.
This is not the first time Mumbai has enforced such a ban. Similar restrictions were imposed during last year’s Lok Sabha election campaign, particularly during visits by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior officials. The police also reimposed the ban during the December festive season, when large public gatherings increased the perceived threat level.
The latest order highlights ongoing concerns among Indian security agencies over the potential misuse of consumer-grade drones and other aerial systems in urban areas, especially in the context of high-profile events or political activity.

07 Apr 25. Thales, Saildrone pitch a windsurfing fleet of submarine spotters. Thales Australia has partnered with Saildrone to integrate a towed array sonar system with the Surveyor unmanned surface vessel, promising navies the ability to pinpoint underwater threats through silent operation. The companies’ tie-up follows sea trials, funded by the United States Office of Naval Research, during which Saildrone’s Surveyor USV, equipped with Thales’ BlueSentry sensor package, operated almost uninterrupted for 26 days. Conducted off the coast of California, the tests demonstrated that the systems detected and classified underwater and surface threats, with an uptime averaging more than 96%, according to Saildrone. In the context of underwater drones, the notion of “uptime” generally refers to the percentage of time the system is available and able to perform its intended missions continuously.
“The trials showed that, under wind propulsion, the Surveyor provided a near-zero self-noise environment, significantly improving the detection capabilities of the BlueSentry sonar system,” a Saildrone press release stated.
A fleet of USVs, integrated with these sonar arrays, is intended to be able to operate for extended periods of time, autonomously patrolling large ocean areas and reduce the costs of coverage, per the Thales website.
The companies said that the team-up could pave the way for greater “naval interoperability” between the trilateral AUKUS partners – Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States – and deliver on the security partnership’s technology-focused Pillar 2 scope. That line of work is intended to harness the joint industrial and innovation bases of the three countries to ensure that their respective militaries are equipped with advanced and interoperable capabilities. While during the trials the systems relied on Starlink and Iridium satellite communications, Saildrone recently announced a GPS-denied option not reliant on satellites. (Source: Defense News)
07 Apr 25. LeoLabs to deploy expeditionary Scout radar to Indo-Pacific this year. Space intelligence firm LeoLabs announced on Monday its next-generation mobile radar, Scout, designed to provide flexible coverage of on-orbit activity from various locations around the world.
LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier told Defense News in a recent interview the company plans to deliver the first few Scout radar systems to the Indo-Pacific later this year and is in conversations with several potential customers about further ramping up production in the coming years.
“We can envision a future where we can get to dozens of these systems over the next few years,” Frazier said.
In 2024, LeoLabs tracked 253 successful launches to low Earth orbit — 155 of those by the U.S. and 86 by its adversaries, including 65 launched by China. As the number of commercial and military launches increases and concerns grow about threats to U.S. assets, LeoLabs is expanding its network of ground-based radars to provide more coverage of what’s happening in orbit, especially from the Indo-Pacific region.
“There’s a big gap in being able to detect and track all that launch activity and then rapidly catalog those payloads,” Frazier said.
LeoLabs is using a mix of government funding and private capital to build out its radar and sensor network. In late 2024, the firm unveiled Seeker, its first ultra-high frequency radiant array system, as an early step in that expansion. LeoLabs developed the system, in part, using a small-business innovative research contract it received in 2023 from the Air Force’s innovation arm, AFWERX. In March, the company announced it had received a strategic funding increase contract to operate Seeker in the Indo-Pacific by 2027.
The firm hopes the deployment of Scout — also developed with funding from a 2024 small business innovative research contract — will build on that momentum, allowing it to expand its own network and offer customers the option to either buy and operate their own radars or lease capacity to get coverage in specific areas.
“I think we’re seeing a pattern similar to what has happened in remote sensing, kind of ISR [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] from space, where companies may have a network they own for a specific commercial mission, but then are able to build sovereign sensors for certain customers,” Frazier said. “We’re exploring both.”
Because Scout is meant to be expeditionary, its components are compact and its design is modular. The firm will showcase a truck-mounted version this week at the annual Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Frazier said there is also a ship-based version of Scout and LeoLabs is in talks with clients about a containerized version that could be rapidly deployed to a fixed site. (Source: Defense News)
02 Apr 25. OSL completes Project HADO for BVLOS operations in safety-critical airspace. After more than two years of collaboration and field testing, security technology company OSL has announced the successful completion of the final phase of Project HADO, a UK Research and Innovation-funded research and development initiative aimed at enabling secure, repeatable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations across UK airspace. Project HADO (High-Intensity Autonomous Drone Operations) focuses on enabling fully autonomous drone missions in busy, safety-critical environments such as airports, ports, urban centres, and transport hubs. In the final series of live trials, OSL deployed its system within the Heathrow Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ), demonstrating two core use cases: perimeter patrol, using visible and thermal cameras to detect loiterers or intrusions along a fence line; and building survey, using automated point-to-point flight and image capture to generate both visual and thermal inspection data. These missions were supported by a detailed digital twin of the environment, developed in collaboration with Cranfield University. This synthetic modelling environment enabled precise flight planning, environmental awareness, and training of the autonomous behaviours required for safe and repeatable operations. The system is fully integrated into OSL’s proprietary platform, FACE, which incorporates drone-in-a-box infrastructure, layered sensor fusion, Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) tools, and a real-time operator interface. This end-to-end capability is designed to enable safe, automated missions even in GPS-denied or dynamically changing environments. One of the outcomes of this final phase is the development of a rapidly deployable mobile HADO system, enabling organisations to set up autonomous drone operations on-site within a single day. The project also delivered significant advances in detect-and-avoid functionality. By combining radar, optical sensors, and real-time environmental scanning with AI-driven logic, the system can autonomously detect risks, adjust its flight path, or safely return to base. OSL led the consortium as prime integrator, bringing together key organisations including Heathrow, Thales, Cranfield University, UAVTEK, Carmenta, HEROTECH8, and Dynamic Intelligence Solutions. OSL continues to work closely with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to support the safe expansion of BVLOS operations in the UK. The company and its partners are actively exploring future opportunities to deploy and evolve the system in line with operational needs. (Source: www.unmannedairspace.info)
02 Apr 25. Hoverfly and BlueHalo collaborate on tethered C-UAS. Hoverfly Technologies has formed an integration partnership with BlueHalo which brings BlueHalo’s Titan-SV passive RF sensing system onto Hoverfly’s Blue List Certified Spectre tethered uncrewed aerial system, for counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) operations. BlueHalo’s Titan-SV is designed for 360° surveillance, localising malicious UAS with remote and automated alerting and tracking. Its integration onto Hoverfly Spectre enables passive electronic warfare and signals intelligence (SIGINT) by providing persistent, real-time situational awareness from 200 feet in the air. “Titan-SV’s passive RF sensing capabilities identify and geolocate electromagnetic signals without emitting detectable RF energy, while Spectre provides an uninterrupted 200 ft platform with zero RF emissions,” Hoverfly said in a press release. During a recent assessment with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E), Hoverfly Spectre flew in challenging conditions, including heavy rain and 25 mph winds. At 200 ft, the tethered drone was able to mitigate tree and terrain interference and extend the range of the passive Titan-SV system, successfully detecting Group 1-3 UAS at further distances. Hoverfly said the demonstration with OUSD R&E was an important milestone in proving the concept, but additional refinement and testing are still required to fully mature the solution for operational deployment.

03 Apr 25. Dutch Army establishes UAS and C-UAS task force. The Dutch army has established Task Force Drones to bolster the force’s capabilities in fighting with and against drones. The task force will drive developments in the field of drones under the leadership of Brigadier General Joland Dubbeldam. The initial aim is to develop an integrated concept for the army this year. This will enable it to implement uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and counter-UAS within the units.
“The war in Ukraine is in the news almost daily. We see that drones and countermeasures have become indispensable in the modern battlefield,” Dubbeldam said. “That is why we have to take action and strengthen our combat power with drones.”
In addition to introducing new equipment, the conceptual aspect is at least as important according to the brigadier general. “How can we as the army fight as effectively as possible with the C-UAS and UAS resources in our toolbox? How are we going to prepare for that fight in the exercises organised by the army? And how do we ensure, together with the industry, that we continue to develop our systems?”
Task Force Drones is closely following developments in Ukraine. In addition, knowledge already acquired from units of the army is being collected and bundled. “Task Force Drones is not here to reinvent the wheel,” said Dubbeldam. “It is our job to quickly arrive at an integrated drone concept, with which we can fight smarter. Ultimately, it is all about implementing drone capacity within our units.” (Source: www.unmannedairspace.info)

07 Apr 25. NORTHCOM Wants New Tech to Down Drones within ’24 Hours’ of Sighting. Amid an uptick in drone activity nationwide, the commander responsible for safeguarding North American airspace said U.S. Northern Command is acquiring new technology to swiftly deploy to bases around the country to counter these threats.
“What NORTHCOM has done is proposed a process where we would bring in ‘flyaway kits’ to supplement, or in the case where there are no capabilities, provide the initial capability at that base to defeat [drone threats],”
Gen. Gregory M. Guillot, commander of NORTHCOM and North American Aerospace Defense Command told the House Armed Services Committee on April 1.
“Flyaway kits” are, as the name suggests, mobile packages that are “rapidly deployable, prepackaged counter-drone technology, along with personnel trained to employ that technology, that can be dispatched via commercial aircraft to get to the installation in need,”
a NORTHCOM spokesperson told Air & Space Forces Magazine. The idea is to send these kits to military sites that lack sufficient counter drone capabilities as needed.
The technology would include a drone detection system, countermeasures—such as jammers, lasers, or kinetic systems to take down drones—and control software to manage the devices. The goal is to have these kits available for use “within a year,” the spokesperson added.
The Pentagon has been seeking an effective counter-drone solution for small unmanned aerial systems, hosting its first event last year for companies to showcase their latest technology to detect, track, and neutralize them.
The Falcon Peak exercise in October, hosted by NORTHCOM and NORAD, featured both kinetic systems—such as nets—and nonkinetic weapons to disable small drones. Technologies from DroneHunter by Fortem, Cerberus XL by Teledyne, CUGAR by Leidos, and SPYNEL by HGH were among the countermeasures tested in “complex, realistic scenarios” during the event.
“There is perhaps no better example of the rapidly evolving strategic environment than the emergence of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) as a threat to infrastructure and personnel in the homeland.” Guillot wrote in testimony to lawmakers. These drones, mostly small enough to be “fit into a backpack,” have emerged as a “significant risk” in a relatively short period of time, he added.
As the “flyaway kit” is currently in the development phase, the NORTHCOM spokesperson said specific equipment and manufacturers cannot be discussed at this time.
The push to deploy UAS-killing technology grew urgent following a series of high-profile drone sightings between November and December 2024 that halted public airport and military flight operations.
One of the first sightings was reported in New Jersey in November, after police officers spotted drone activity during patrols. A few days later, the Federal Aviation Administration imposed a flight restriction in Bedminster, N.J. After that, another restriction was placed over Picatinny Arsenal military base in the state, lasting from Nov. 25 to Dec. 26. In early December, unknown drone activity forced the shutdown of runways at New York’s Stewart Airfield.
On Dec. 12, New York and New Jersey senators, including Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), penned a letter to the heads of the FBI, FAA, and Department of Homeland Security, demanding a briefing on how the agencies were working to identify and address the source of these incursions, expressing “urgent concern regarding the UAS activity.”
At the time, then-White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the administration was actively investigating the matter but was unable to “corroborate some of the reported sightings.”
However, there were confirmed drone sightings at or near military bases like Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif.; Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio; and Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
Overall, Guillot said 350 UAS detections were reported last year across 100 different military installations. While he attributed much of the activity to hobbyists, he also noted that law enforcement partners had uncovered “evidence of a foreign intelligence nexus” in some of these incidents.
“The widespread availability of small drones, coupled with a complicated regulatory structure and limitations on UAS countermeasures based on concerns for flight safety and privacy, has created significant vulnerabilities that have been exploited by known and unknown actors,” Guillot added.
As part of the command’s ongoing effort to employ the flyaway kit, Guillot noted that another event, dubbed ‘Falcon Peak 25.2,’ will be held in August, featuring a “larger slate of vendors, participants, and systems.”
“We have a great relationship with the FAA that would allow us to operate the ‘Flyaway kits’ quickly,” Guillot added. “We just need to procure and field those kits so we can respond to [incidents like those at] Picatinny and Stewart fast; my goal would be inside of 24 hours, being able to respond.” (Source: UAS VISION/Air & Space Forces Magazine)
07 Apr 25. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has demonstrated software that will provide in-flight target updates that will enable the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to close gaps on maritime targets. In a recent ground test, GA-ASI demonstrated the ability to send sensor data to the missile via Link 16 messaging. The software, part of General Atomics’ Quadratix software enterprise, was validated in a Systems Integration Lab and is gearing up for a live-fire demonstration later this year.
“We continue to build on the innovative capabilities of SeaGuardian for the U.S. Navy,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “The targeting we’ve demonstrated will be especially valuable in contested environments, enabling an unmanned asset like SeaGuardian to be used for higher-risk missions instead of putting manned assets at risk.”
Being able to fire and use SeaGuardian for targeting will significantly enhance the aircraft’s mission set. GA-ASI first showcased its targeting capability for SeaGuardian during the U.S. Navy’s Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024. SeaGuardian is a maritime derivative of GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and remains the first UAS to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean’s surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations. With strong demand already in place, GA-ASI anticipates increasing interest in the MQ-9B SeaGuardian because it delivers high-end maritime capabilities at a significantly lower cost than traditional manned maritime platforms.
07 Apr 25. Anduril and Ultra Maritime Announce Exclusive Partnership on Groundbreaking Autonomous Ocean Sensing Capability. Anduril Industries and Ultra Maritime are proud to announce an exclusive partnership to develop a significant new capability in next generation unmanned subsea sensing, making it possible for U.S. and allied nations to enhance their submarine detection capabilities rapidly and inexpensively. By bringing together Ultra Maritime’s innovative Sea Spear deployable acoustic arrays and AI enabled acoustic processing with Anduril’s undersea autonomy capabilities, including Dive XL and Seabed Sentry, plus Anduril’s Lattice communications framework, the partnership will provide a major advance in distributed, low-cost undersea surveillance. As enemy submarines grow quieter and greater in number, the need for low-cost solutions to submarine detection grows. Autonomous systems provide a clear path to low-cost, low-risk anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability, but have to date been hampered by inadequate technology. Issues of range, endurance, sensitivity, communication, scale and more have limited advances in autonomous or uncrewed ASW. Anduril and Ultra Maritime have developed an innovative approach to make autonomous undersea ASW possible. The concept uses Anduril’s Dive XL to autonomously deliver and deploy Anduril’s Seabed Sentry modular undersea payload system, which in turn hosts Ultra Maritime’s Sea Spear lightweight sensing array as a payload. Once deployed, Sea Spear pushes Sonar processing to the tactical edge using modern AI techniques. The system then uses acoustic communications and Anduril’s Lattice framework to provide users real time, autonomous submarine sensing. Multiple systems can be deployed in a distributed manner, enabling a user to see detects distributed across large ocean areas. The joint effort is well underway and achieves end to end in-water testing in 2025.
04 Apr 25. Cuashub.com said today that Swedish firm Nordic Air Defence unveils Kreuger 100 anti-drone missile. Swedish defence technology company Nordic Air Defence (NAD) has announced the development of its first anti-drone missile, the Kreuger 100, in response to increasing aerial threats across Europe. The company revealed the project on March 27, 2025, describing the missile as a scalable and cost-effective countermeasure for both military and civilian applications. According to NAD’s President, Jordan Linn, the Kreuger 100 was conceived to address the rising concern over drone-related security risks and the lack of affordable counter-drone solutions on the market:
“Kreuger 100 was developed in response to evolving aerial threats and the lack of scalable, low-cost counter-drone solutions in Europe,” Linn stated.
The missile is designed for users facing frequent drone threats who require a responsive yet economical defence option without the reliance on costly guided anti-air missiles.
The Kreuger 100 is engineered to intercept various drone threats, including the Russian-manufactured Orlan-10 and Iranian Shahed loitering munitions, both of which have seen widespread use in the conflict in Ukraine. The missile is also intended for the protection of key infrastructure such as airports, nuclear power plants, seaports and government facilities.
The system is battery-powered and features a lightweight design, enabling deployment via handheld or mobile launchers. This mobility allows for rapid response in both fixed and dynamic defence scenarios. In its civilian configuration, the missile can reach speeds of up to 270 km/h, with the military variant expected to achieve significantly higher speeds. The Kreuger 100’s infrared-seeking warhead is built using commercially available components, which NAD asserts will ensure cost-effective production while maintaining effectiveness across varying weather conditions and operational environments.
Addressing security concerns in Sweden and beyond
The unveiling of the Kreuger 100 follows increased concerns over unauthorised drone activity in Sweden, including reported surveillance near sensitive infrastructure and government sites. NAD has positioned the missile as a tool for enhancing security while remaining affordable and accessible for a broad range of users.
“The Kreuger 100 is not just about protection – it’s about readiness, mobility, and affordability,” Linn emphasized.
The project gained momentum following a €1.2m investment secured in November 2024, which allowed for accelerated research, development and flight testing. NAD anticipates that the Kreuger 100 will attract interest from both government and private sector clients seeking efficient and cost-effective counter-drone solutions. https://cuashub.com/en/content/swedish-firm-nordic-air-defence-unveils-kreuger-100-anti-drone-missile/ (Source: https://cuashub.com/)
04 Apr 25. Cuashub.com said today that Rohde & Schwarz unveils next-generation multi-band jammer. Rohde & Schwarz has announced the launch of ARDRONIS Effect, a next-generation multi-band jamming system designed to counter evolving drone threats. The system, an upgrade within the ARDRONIS family, aims to enhance the ability of defense and security forces to protect personnel, platforms and infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated unmanned aerial threats. ARDRONIS Effect has been developed in response to the growing use of jam-resistant drones and armed drone swarms in modern conflicts. The system is designed to operate effectively in contested and congested environments, where adversaries may employ drones across multiple frequencies to evade detection and disruption.
Jan Link, Product Manager for C-UAS Solutions at Rohde & Schwarz, highlighted the shifting nature of drone warfare, particularly with the proliferation of FPV drone attacks.
“C-UAS operators need to have the capability to jam every potential frequency, even during swarm attacks with multiple drones operating on different frequencies,” Link stated.
To address these challenges, ARDRONIS Effect leverages Rohde & Schwarz’s capabilities in signal intelligence, sensor fusion and electronic warfare. The system has achieved Technology Readiness Level 9, signifying full operational capability, and is already in service with undisclosed customers in Europe.
System capabilities and integration
ARDRONIS Effect is controlled through the proprietary ARDRONIS Control Center software and can function as a standalone system or be integrated with other ARDRONIS solutions, such as:
- ARDRONIS Detect: For early drone signal identification
- ARDRONIS Locate Compact and Locate Advanced: For tracking both drones and their operators
Additionally, ARDRONIS Effect features an open architecture, allowing integration with existing counter-drone systems. The modular nature of the system enables flexible deployment depending on mission requirements.
“The main challenge of ARDRONIS Effect is to jam a wide area but in a way that is effective enough to stop the operation of weaponized FPVs or intelligence-gathering drones,” Link explained. “This requires ARDRONIS Effect to jam simultaneously on multiple bands at high output power across the entire spectrum without gaps in time and frequency.”
The introduction of ARDRONIS Effect reflects the growing need for electronic warfare solutions capable of neutralizing diverse and adaptive drone threats. As unmanned systems continue to play an increasing role in modern warfare, effective jamming solutions are becoming essential for both military and security applications. With its latest development, Rohde & Schwarz aims to provide armed forces and security agencies with an advanced tool for mitigating drone threats in real time. The system’s integration capabilities also support a broader approach to airspace security, ensuring compatibility with existing C-UAS infrastructures. https://cuashub.com/en/content/rohde-schwarz-unveils-next-generation-multi-band-jammer/ (Source: https://cuashub.com/)
