Metis has won a contract to supply a number of Skyperion drone detection systems to a NATO customer to provide the drone detect function as part of an integrated Counter Uncrewed Air Systems (C-UAS) capability.
This is fourth NATO ally to purchase Skyperion, according to a company press release. There are now over 80 Skyperion systems in operation with NATO partners, or deployed supporting their national security interests, in current operations globally, said the company.
“The Skyperion product range captures RF emissions of varying strengths across the spectrum, filtering out background noise and known entities before rapidly analysing them to identify and locate potential threats…Unlike many systems, Metis has combined an Open ESM AI enhanced waveform analysis algorithm with a more traditional library database to deliver a self-learning comprehensive RF detect function across a vast array of frequencies. The system can detect a drone signature out to 2.5km and depending on the target, environment and other factors successfully identify a rogue drone out to 10km. The customer will be using these systems in a fixed site role, but the Metis Skyperion Rugged version can be easily transported in its military grade rugged cases, can operate in a mobile role if required and is designed and constructed to survive in the most austere of conditions.”
