Australia-based DroneShield (ASX:DRO) signed a MoU with Latvia-based Origin Robotics, specialising in interceptor and armed UAVs, to jointly develop new C-UAS solutions.
According to the MoU signed between the two firms specialising in C-UAS systems, DroneShield’s SensorFusionAI and DroneSentry-C2 systems will provide guidance and coordination for the BLAZE interceptor UAVs of Origin Robotics following the integration.
SensorFusionAI is an AI-based sensor fusion unit combining the feed from RF, optical, and acoustic sensors to provide improved performance in detection and identification.
DroneSentry-C2 is a browser-based and scalable command-control software integrating various sensors to provide a comprehensive imaging of the field. Multiple DroneSentry-C2 units can be connected to expand the coverage.
Other products of DroneShield include the RfAI-Attack RF jammer, a pocket-sized RfAI passive UAV detection system that a single person can easily carry, and AI-based identification systems.
BLAZE interceptor UAV of Origin Robotics stands out with a gimbal EO/IR seeker providing imaging in two bands and improved tracking at terminal phase, as well as a datalink for midcourse guidance from radars. The interceptor UAV is known to be among the many types employed by Ukraine.
Origin Robotics has also developed the BEAK armed quadcopter UAV capable of carrying up to six small drop-down munitions and an EO/IR camera.
