SIG SAUER has unveiled at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) trade show the SIG SAUER XRAY9-CUAS, a counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) electro-optic system. Mounted to a counter-UAS weapon system, the XRAY9-CUAS uses advanced electro-optical technologies to quickly engage drones, similar to the targeting system in the SIG SAUER remote-controlled weapon station, said the company in a press release.
“The XRAY9-CUAS uses a proprietary SWIR laser rangefinder system and onboard slew-rate sensors to instantly calculate drone distance, speed, and vector and create a custom disturbed reticle with dynamic targeting solutions,” it continued. “The XRAY9-CUAS can be integrated with CMOS and thermal sensors to provide a day, night, and fused-capable fire control system. The XRAY9-CUAS tracks and engages up to 300 yards, with exact capabilities varying on drone size. The small and lightweight optic is 5.25’’x2.5’’x3.3’’ (L x W x H) and 24 ounces. Battery life is up to 50 hours with continuous use, and the display is 640×480 with a window size of 48mm clear aperture.”
