Australian company DroneShield has integrated the RPS-82 4D active electronically scanned array (AESA) pulse-Doppler radar developed by Israel-based DRS RADA Technologies into its DroneSentry counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) suite.
The RPS-82 will provide DroneSentry operators with an enhanced range for detection, classification, and tracking of hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), DroneShield said on 25 October.
Company CEO Oleg Vornik told
Janes
on 26 October that the RPS-82 radar has been integrated into the DroneSentry command-and-control (C2) system and is being offered to “Western [armed] forces and their allies” that are DroneShield’s customers.
According to
Janes C4ISR & Mission Systems: Land
