CUAS/Air Defense
With the recent expansion in availability of consumer, commercial, and military-grade drones and UAVs, counter-UAV solutions have become a critical part of an airport’s infrastructure. A single UAV whether with malicious intent or through negligence can completely shut down an entire airport’s airspace immediately causing the cancelation, delay and rerouting of all flights. A single UAV at Gatwick in 2017 caused hundreds of flight cancellations affecting 140,000 passengers and 1,000 flight schedules, totalling roughly 65 million dollars of damages. It was the biggest disruption experienced by Gatwick outside of Iceland’s volcanoes in 2010. A proper C-UAS is no longer a luxury for airports; it should be considered an absolute necessity that is vital to the safety and functioning of the airport.
Infiniti offers a long-range, automatic anti-UAV/drone system that will provide detection of small UAVs like the DJI Phantom from up to 10km away. Our ADDS offers 360° panoramic coverage with no blind spots and the ability to visually track, recognize and eliminate a drone up to 52km away. The system is comprised of a state-of-the-art 3/4 radar, an advanced long-range EO/IR visible and thermal infrared day/night PTZ surveillance camera system, and powerful broad-spectrum RF jammer as well as options for net gun capture for UAV interception and complete cyber takeover that allows you to lock the operator out of the drone and land it safely out of the way. These systems can be automated or controlled by operators to deliver 24/7 detection, tracking and elimination of UAVs/drones to ensure the security and operation of your airport.
