Ondas has announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary American Robotics Inc. has secured a purchase order from a major urban public safety organization in the U.S. for its patent-pending Kestrel system. The Kestrel system, American Robotics’ premier drone detection, Counter-UAS (C-UAS), and airspace management solution, “provides comprehensive situational awareness and a proven detect-and-avoid capability, enabling advanced autonomous aerial operations,” said the company in a press release.
The Kestrel system is available in both active and passive detection configurations, supporting fixed and mobile applications for versatile deployment, says Ondas. In addition to Counter-UAS and drone detection, Kestrel can be integrated with American Robotics’ Optimus System to support fully remote autonomous drone operations, when Optimus is deployed for aerial security and inspection. Kestrel has proven its capabilities through numerous U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) waivers, demonstrating its effectiveness in active mission environments.
“This latest deployment will provide layered security at high-visibility public events where airspace awareness and safety are particularly valuable to support public safety officials in protecting the public,” said the release. “The advanced sensor technology embedded in Kestrel will increase the safety and protection of critical airspace, delivering a dependable solution for large-scale event security.”
