ELYSION Counter-UAS Solutions – reliable asset & force protection between peacetime and conflict

The wars and conflicts of recent months and years clearly show that the threats posed by drones are constantly increasing. As a result, protection against drone attacks and increased requirements for drone defence systems (C-UAS) and their networking are becoming increasingly important. Due to these complex threat situations, high-performance command & control (C2) systems are becoming increasingly important.

Especially when a network of several sensors and effectors is integrated, increased requirements for scalability and networking are necessary and, in turn, personnel requirements are to be reduced, C2 software is crucial as a core element of powerful C-UAS systems. In addition, C2 systems must offer extensive options for scalability and expandability in order to synchronise data between different C2 systems and transfer it to higher-level situation pictures. 

The decisive factor here is that the user can be provided with a tried and tested system for their requirements in the shortest possible time. Criteria for current threats must already be implemented today and the possibility of adapting to future drone defence requirements must be taken into account.  C2 systems that have been specially developed for the requirements of drone defence are therefore an important part of the overall performance of a C-UAS solution. C2 systems available on the market, such as ELYSION®, already offer solutions for current threat situations and will fulfil future requirements. This primarily concerns the reduction of personnel and training costs as well as advanced algorithms and comprehensive assistance and support functions across the entire drone defence process as well as the scalability and networking of systems.
