AEGIS — C-UAS
Autonomous defence intelligence.
Detect · Understand · Predict · Defend
AEGIS Shield is a modular counter-UAS platform that combines AEGIS Vision — a 360° passive optical sensor module for drone tracking and identification — with distributed AI processing, multi-sensor fusion, and a real-time 3D operational picture. It scales from a single AEGIS Vision node sending alerts to a cell phone, up to an onion-layer sensor network feeding a shared 3D world of all detections across the protected operating zone.
AEGIS Vision — 360° Passive Drone Detection.
AEGIS Vision is a 360-degree passive optical sensor module purpose-built for drone tracking and identification. It can operate standalone — a single node detecting drones visually and via passive RF, sending instant alerts to a mobile device — or connect into the broader AEGIS Shield ecosystem as part of a distributed onion-layer sensor network.
360° Passive Optical Perception
Continuous full-sphere coverage with onboard AI for drone detection, classification and tracking — day and night.
Standalone Operation
Deploy a single node with no network dependencies. Visual and passive RF detection with instant alerts pushed to a cell phone or operator terminal.
Onion-Layer Sensor Network
Multiple AEGIS Vision nodes deployed in concentric defensive layers providing graduated detection, tracking handoff and depth of coverage across the protected zone.
Multi-Sensor Fusion Hub
Each node accepts RADAR, LIDAR, acoustic and IR inputs, enhancing detection fidelity and feeding into the shared 3D world of all detections across the operational area.
Military — FOB & Front-Line
Passive-only AEGIS Vision sensors deployed in forward operating bases, front lines and remote areas. Connectivity via fiber, 4G-5G, or long-range encrypted low-bandwidth mesh for contested environments.
Civil — Smart City Grid
Networked AEGIS Vision nodes deployed across urban areas, passively detecting, identifying and populating drone activity data into the smart city ecosystem for traffic management, security operations and drone policy enforcement.
Commercial & Defence release lines.
AEGIS Shield ships across two release lines. Successive phases expand sensor coverage, learning systems and electronic-warfare capability.
AEGIS Shield · Commercial
For critical infrastructure, airports, major events, industrial sites and smart city deployments. Civil-certified deployment patterns with passive drone detection feeding the smart city grid for drone policy enforcement and urban airspace management. Standards-based interop with site security and ATC.
AEGIS Shield · Defence
Hardened, allied-interoperable build for defence and critical-infrastructure deployment. Deploy passive-only AEGIS Vision sensors in forward operating bases, front-line positions and remote areas. DDIL-tolerant, expeditionary-ready, cleared interop with allied stacks.
