L3Harris has put its CORVUS-RAVEN counter-small uncrewed aerial system (C-sUAS) technology into the hands of soldiers at Project VANAHEIM, to demonstrate its ability to provide passive signal detect, enhanced situational awareness and defeat jamming capabilities.
Project VANAHEIM, launched in March, is a joint initiative between British and United States armies designed to boost C-sUAS operations. The recent field-based demonstration at Hohenfels Training Area, Germany, was run by the British Army’s RAPSTONE Task Force.
VANAHEIM requires that each C-sUAS solution be designed for use by generalist soldiers, small enough to be portable and focused on Class 1 UAS systems.
With passive detection capability up to four kilometres and a visual display with battle management applications such as the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK), CORVUS-RAVEN is a lightweight and portable system suitable for countering small UAS challenges on the battlefield. It features L3Harris’ Individual CORVUS Node, a lightweight, compact electronic warfare system designed to enable forces to rapidly switch between multirole, multiplatform and multifunction capabilities.
L3Harris demonstrated CORVUS-RAVEN in two configurations at VANAHEIM, a unit mounted onto a Coyote vehicle and a dismounted variant wearable by soldiers.
“During the L3Harris demo, British Army soldiers operated CORVUS-RAVEN in various realistic mission scenarios and provided direct feedback to L3Harris experts based on their experience with the kit, helping to shape and inform future capability,” the company said.
