-
effector type
kinetic (or hybrid through non-kinetic secondary armament)
-
mission
mobile, lightweight protection system for drone defence at short range (point defence)
-
functionality
Vehicle-based system for kinetic engagement of drones with main armament and secondary armament.
Highly mobile and flexible in use
- Protects highly mobile light forces, supply and command facilities as well as infrastructure in peacetime operations and armed conflict.
- Effective and cost-efficient engagementl through possible effector mix
- Main armament (Gatling gun) engages small targets up to 1500 meters of distance.
- Secondary armament is used to defend against larger targets or for civilian use (non-lethal secondary effector)
- Integrated detection, evaluation and engagement capability.
- AI support for detection and identification. The decision is made by the operator.

effector type
non-kinetic
-
Mission
Drone defence through targeted disruption of the drone's electronics.
-
funktionality
HPEM directly affects the semiconductors of the control electronics inside the UAS by means short electromagnetic pulses.
- In addition to military use, also suitable for civilian deployment scenarios (e.g. protection of major events, infrastructure)
- Low collateral damage working principle
- Effective against all kinds of commercial drones, incl. swarm attacks
- Easy integration into various Command and Control systems
- Installation into various stationary or mobile platforms possible
- Combination of two key technologies (HPEM and Jamming) for a future proof installation
- Soft kill and hard kill effects depending on the drone model and attack distance

effector type
kinetic (lethal with fragmentation warhead / non-lethal with safety net)
-
mission
Electrically propelled missile for the defence against hostile drones and loitering munitions.
-
functionality
Engagement of the target by warhead or safety net, after target guidance by ground sensors, data link and independent endgame through integrated seeker.
CICADA - The heart of SKY SPHERE
The modular c-UAS overall system SKY SPHERE
- SKY SPHERE is modularly designed to combine sensors, effectors and command systems via standardized interfaces.
- Various configurations enable versatile use: vehicle solution (integrated or stand-alone) or stationary as a container-based system for long-term protection of critical infrastructure.
eMissile CICADA
- Electrically propelled missile - especially developed for drone defence
- CICADA operates in response to the threats caused by low-cost drones and drone swarms.
- Flexible dual-use capability: lethal operation (fragmentation warhead) or non-lethal operation (safety net)
- Reliable target designation through pre-instruction using ground sensors, target guidance via data link and independent endgame through integrated seeker.

effector type
kinetic (IR-guided missile of the ground-based air defence system)
-
mission
Air defence system for the protection of cities, critical infrastructure and high-value targets against a wide range of airborne threats.
-
functionality
Defence against airborne threats with the IRIS-T SLM IR-guided missile in a system network of launcher, radar and Tactical Operation Center (TOC).
IRIS-T SLM - the high-performance air defence system
- 60 km effective system range, 20 km altitude coverage
- Low troop requirement: High degree of automation for rapid (re-)deployment
- 360° Protection, NATO interoperable, flexible system architecture
- Defence against a wide range of threats: Cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, drones, fighter aircraft, helicopters, etc.
- Integration into counter-UAS systems permits a dual strategy: high-class medium-range air defence and mass-capable drone defence
- IRIS-T SLM as last resort against drones - highly effective, for high-priority targets and the protection of critical infrastructure.
