Kinetic Defence Vehicle

at a glance

  • 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.

High-Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) Technology

at a glance

  • 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

CICADA eMissile

at a glance

  • 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.
