Tel Aviv, Israel. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a global leader in defence and aerospace, announced October 13 the unveiling of the new generation C-UAS Swarm solution at AUSA 2025. This cutting-edge defence system is designed to detect, identify, disrupt and intercept swarms of UASs and drones. It was developed in response to the needs of the Israeli defence ministry, and its operational readiness was demonstrated to senior officials.
This system reflects the operational insights and evolving needs shaped by the current war. In recent months, the system was successfully demonstrated multiple times to senior Israeli defence officials, showcasing its advanced capabilities and operational readiness.
Boaz Levy, President and CEO of IAI, said, “As Israel’s radar systems house, IAI, plays a critical role in the nation’s defence, especially since the onset of the current war, where they successfully detected, classified and guided the interception of threats targeting Israel. The new generation counter swarms solution is another testament to IAI’s commitment to providing innovative, up-to-date and operationally relevant solutions to the evolving challenges faced by Israel’s defence forces. As part of our comprehensive suite of detection and interception systems, the new generation development represents a significant leap forward, enhancing Israel’s ability to defend against a broad spectrum of aerial threats with precision, speed and adaptability. This is the kind of high-impact, high-quality capability that reflects IAI’s legacy of excellence and its role at the forefront of defence technology.”
At the core of the new generation C-UAS solution is an advanced autonomous C4I mission system that integrates unique algorithms, artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver real-time threat detection, analysis and response management. The system intelligently recommends optimal interception methods to operators, enabling rapid response to threats and performing neutralisation and interception actions autonomously, while keeping human involvement in the decision-making process.
Enabling a seamless sensor-to-target loop targeting and attack using a variety of interceptor configurations, the system is deployed across vast areas and equipped with electro-optical, radar and other sensors. These sensors provide the operator with a detailed, real-time aerial picture, allowing for coordinated launches of multiple interceptors per target until a successful interception is confirmed. The system can operate numerous detection assets in different layers, while deploying jamming and electronic warfare measures for soft-kill interceptions, or using various interceptors to provide a comprehensive response for low-altitude threats.
To date, IAI has provided hundreds of UAV detection and interception systems to customers worldwide, with cumulative sales totaling hundreds of millions of dollars and systems in operational use across the United States, Europe and Asia, providing critical protection for ground facilities, mobile platforms and strategic infrastructure.
The new advanced C-UAS swarm solution represents the next generation of these detection systems, adding automation capabilities within an open architecture to enable seamless integration with a variety of sensors and interception tools, as well as rapid adaptation to diverse mission requirements.
