Teledyne FLIR Defense has announced that it has received a significant order from AeroVironment to deliver its Argus XL counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) platform as part of AV’s Titan® Multi-Sensor (MS) C-UAS counter-drone solution for the U.S. Air Force.
The orders are being executed under AV’s three-year, USD500 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) sole-source contract supporting Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) 401’s Domestic Shield Program, said the company in a press release. JIATF-401 selected the Titan MS system to provide layered counter-UAS protection for domestic installations and critical infrastructure. Teledyne FLIR Defense’s Argus XL provides the radar, visible and thermal imaging sensors, and command-and-control software that serve as core detection capabilities within the Titan MS architecture.
Argus XL C-UAS is a fixed-site, multi-sensor platform designed to detect and track multiple aerial threats, near and far, around the clock, and in demanding weather conditions, according to Teledyne. The system integrates Teledyne FLIR Defense’s advanced radar, electro-optical and infrared cameras, and command-and-control software to deliver situational awareness, sensor integration, and data archiving. Argus XL also supports integration with third-party radio-frequency sensors and defeat technologies, helping provide hemispherical detection of aerial targets, including small and micro drones.
