Spyglass short-range surveillance radar, demonstrated as a part of JCO-recommended Counter-UAS as a Service answer

Numerica Company, a supplier of superior air and missile protection options, introduced that its Spyglass™ short-range surveillance radar was demonstrated as a part of SAIC’s Counter small-UAS as a Service (CaaS) providing that was lately advisable by the Division of Protection’s (DoD’s) Joint Counter-small Unmanned Plane System Workplace (C-sUAS).

The SAIC CaaS providing was one among solely three advisable by the JCO after demonstrations had been held at Yuma Proving Floor in Arizona final month. Spyglass radar was included in SAIC’s demonstrated answer as a part of two Liteye Methods’ SHIELD™ C-sUAS platforms. Throughout the demonstration, Spyglass radar carried out long-range small unmanned plane methods (sUAS) detection and precision monitoring to help risk mitigation by SHIELD’s directional RF defeat and the Aeroguard drone seize system. 

“We’re glad to see this suggestion made by the JCO and this recognition of the worth delivered by the SAIC-led group,” mentioned Nate Knight, Numerica vp for air and missile protection. “Spyglass did what it was constructed to do, offering precision monitoring for precision sUAS mitigation all through the occasion.
