Tel Aviv: Israeli anti-drone technology will be tested in the US by the department of homeland security considering the looming armed drone threats.
The Science and Technology Directorate (DHS) – Counter-Unmanned Aircraft (C-UAS) Capability Optimisation Research Environment (CORE), has selected Rafael Systems Global Sustainment LLC (RSGS) to participate in the C-UAS CORE Technology Demonstration from March 18-22, 2024 at Fort Wolters, TX to demonstrate the effectiveness of Rafael’s Drone Dome and Sky Spotter systems.
Rafael Systems Global Sustainment (RSGS) is a US subsidiary and authorised broker for Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in Israel. The RSGS mission is to serve the North American market and deliver tested and proven technical solutions along with sustainment support that closes capability gaps for the US Government and critical commercial sector enterprises. The company’s primary objective is to Americanise Rafael’s technologies along three lines of effort: IP and data storage, manufacturing and engineering. The company is organised into four business units: Land and Naval, Spike Family of Missiles, C4ISR and Air & Missile Defense/Counter UAS.
The Drone Dome is a cutting-edge C-UAS system that provides a comprehensive solution against hostile drones with advanced technology in drone detection, identification, neutralisation, and interception.
Sky Spotter is a passive early warning system with a high probability of detection and a very low false alarm rate used in a variety of missions, either as a vital component in the fixed national network of airspace management or by deployments of standalone Automatic Sense and Warn (AS&W) application for force protection supporting C-UAS and ground-based air defence (GBAD) operations.
Drone Dome and Sky Spotter are combat-proven systems providing global and homeland defence against air threats comprising critical air space and safety. Like all Rafael products, Drone Dome and Sky Spotter are designed to be robust and modular for easy scalability and customisation.
