Counter-unmanned aerial systems
Fully integrated drone defense systems for end-to-end threat protection.
Drone threat detection and response
INKAS® CUAS systems are fully modular and designed to integrate seamlessly into any mission profile. Each component within detection, tracking/classification, and neutralization can be deployed as a standalone capability or combined into a complete multi-layered defense solution. The architecture supports fixed installation on armored vehicles, enabling operators to bring advanced CUAS protection directly to the point of need.
Detection
RF Sensors & Radar-based detection
INKAS® CUAS Detection leverages active radar and passive RF sensing to reliably detect, classify, and localize drones across a wide protection radius. The system automatically identifies UAVs and their operators by analyzing radio signals and radar signatures, ensuring rapid awareness.
- Radars detect various UAV classes, including commercial, military, autonomous, and dark drones
- RF sensors detects commercial, DIY and FPV drones using radio control
- Reliable drone detection, classification, and localization with low false alarm rates via data fusion
- Distant detection range: RF >5 km and radar >10 km, depending on drone type and conditions
- Detects and geolocates drone operators, including Remote ID-equipped drones
- Supports triangulation when multiple RF sensors are installed (minimum two)
- Operates fully automatically with AI support and requires no thermal imaging for detection
- Quick installation and scalable coverage for sites of any size, supporting 360° x 90° coverage
Tracking / classification
Visual tracking & target confirmation
Once a drone is detected, the EO/IR camera provides continuous visual tracking, enabling operators to monitor UAV movement and confirm target identity in real-time. By combining daylight and thermal imaging, the system supports accurate classification and ensures clear situational awareness.
- Real-time UAV tracking and continuous visual monitoring
- Daylight camera provides high-resolution identification during daytime operations
- Thermal sensor enables target visibility in low-light or obscured environments
- Supports UAV-type classification through visual and thermal cues
- Enables positive target confirmation before neutralization actions commence
- Automatic target tracking keeps UAVs centered and monitored without operator workload
- Provides stabilized imaging for clear observation even at long distances
- Integrates seamlessly with the C2 system for synchronized tracking and engagement workflows
Neutralization
Soft-kill signal disruption
Soft-kill neutralization uses directional or omni-directional jamming to disrupt a drone’s control, telemetry, or navigation signals, forcing it into a fail-safe response without physical destruction.
Hard-kill direct engagement
Hard-kill neutralization employs a remote weapon system to kinetically eliminate drones through radar-guided, automatically tracked, precision fire when immediate physical defeat is required.
- Long-range, precise jamming using directional antennas (up to 6 km)
- Short-range, omni-directional jamming for swarm neutralization (up to 3 km)
- Blocks communication and navigation signals, causing controlled drone failure behaviors
- Integrated RF detection enables automatic band selection for effective neutralization
- Kinetic neutralization by physically eliminating the drone
- Remote weapon system with automatic target tracking and slew to target feature
- Integrated EO/IR sensors for precise aiming and target confirmation in all conditions
- 30×113 mm ammunition with 360° azimuth and broad elevation coverage for maximum engagement flexibility
