Cellular tower carrying a W-band radar sensor scanning the night sky

Distributed air defense · Counter-UAS

A continuous radar field over infrastructure that already exists.

Thesis

Cheap plastic aircraft broke the economics of air defense.

Million-dollar interceptors cannot answer mass-produced drones. Our answer is detection-first, distributed and priced against the threat.

01

Sees what air defense cannot

Long-wave radars treat plastic and composite airframes as transparent. W-band millimetre waves reflect off them, resolving the smallest UAVs at extreme low altitude.

02

Elevation solves geometry

Ground radars are bounded by relief and earth curvature. Sensors lifted to 30–50 m on existing towers expand the field of view exponentially and erase low-altitude blind spots.

03

Infrastructure already built

Cellular base stations supply the mast, the fibre backhaul and uninterruptible power. Zero field communications deployment — a continuous radar field over existing footprint.

Sensor node

ROS_RADAR_CV

A compact 4D W-band radar that works where optics degrade — night, dust, fog and difficult lighting. More than a sensor: a controlled stack with operator GUI, replay, structured evidence and PTZ cueing.

Band
W-band, 77–80 GHz
Output
4D point cloud — x/y/z, radial velocity, RCS, motion flag
Stack
ROS2 — PointCloud2, TargetState, live & replay
Evidence
Structured logs, .det recordings, backend target truth
Cueing
PTZ slaving through a dedicated driver

Actuation

DPP-15 rotary platform

A dual-axis platform precise enough to slave directly to radar coordinates. Open architecture allows fully autonomous target tracking, bypassing human reaction time.

Precision
±0.005° — under 25 arc seconds, backlash-free gearboxes
Speed
Up to 180°/sec on both axes, jerk-free acceleration
Payload
15 kg — optics, laser or small arms. Unit mass ~12 kg
Latency
4–8 ms control latency over Modbus TCP / Ethernet

Algorithmic unity

Isolated sensors fused into one unbroken track.

A finite state machine predicts trajectory and hands the target from tower to tower over fibre, holding the lock across the whole network.

  1. 01

    Threat

    Low-flying UAV follows the terrain contour.

  2. 02

    Detection

    Tower radar registers the composite target and builds a 4D profile.

  3. 03

    Transfer

    Track data moves over existing fibre with no perceptible delay.

  4. 04

    Control

    An FSM fuses the tracks and aims the rotary platform autonomously.

  5. 05

    Neutralisation

    The matching echelon engages and destroys the target.

Layered response

Four echelons, one field.

Echelon IUp to 30 km

Autonomous interceptor swarms

AI-driven groups with independent target identification. One operator commands the whole swarm through swarm logic.

Echelon IIUp to 10 km

High-speed FPV interceptors

Anti-aircraft FPV platforms capable of autonomous engagement or operator-controlled kinetic strikes.

Echelon III500 m – 3 km

Automated kinetic turrets

Operating without human intervention on the unified radar field and the precision of the 2D rotary platforms.

Echelon IV100 – 500 m

Stationary laser neutralisation

The final perimeter — burning out optical sensors or structural joints of drones that breach critical zones.

A single continuous sensor field commands and coordinates all four echelons simultaneously — thousands of dollars per engagement instead of millions per shot.

Deployment

Proven hardware. Zero-cycle infrastructure.

No new towers, no new cable. Start with a single pilot node — radar, PTZ, Jetson and operator GUI — measured on false alarms per hour, detection continuity, target-to-camera latency and reacquisition after loss.
