AeroVironment, Inc. (AV) has developed Titan 4, the next generation of its counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) technology. Titan 4 is a smaller, more powerful Radio Frequency (RF)-based C-UAS suitable for detecting and defeating Group 1 and 2 drone threats.
Titan 4 is portable and mission-adaptable (supporting mobile, dismounted, or fixed-site use) and is designed to deploy in under five minutes to identify and neutralise threats, creating a protective dome around personnel and infrastructure.
Titan 4 is 17% lighter and 73% smaller than its dual-chassis predecessor, now integrated into a single compact chassis as compared to its dual-chassis predecessor. It offers nearly 250 percent more transmit power with 540W of total output over six RF bands. For enhanced airspace awareness, the company has integrated its Titan-SV system within Titan 4 to provide operators with AI/ML-backed passive, long-range precision threat detection.
In addition to Titan 4 and Titan-SV, AV is expanding this suite with technologies spanning from larger, fixed-site configurations to small, interoperable plug-and-play sensors.
Titan-MS is an AI-powered, multi-sensor technology that detects, identifies, tracks, defeats, and reports on unmanned system threats. Titan-EO/IR is a portable, multi-sensor platform to detect, identify, track, and defeat UAS threats. Titan-SV LOB (Line of Bearing) is a fixed-site or vehicle-mounted small-UAS (sUAS) detection and tracking system that provides threat awareness with full 3D tracking. Titan-SV MOSA/SOSA is the next generation of Titan-SV in development, putting the passive threat detection power of Titan-SV on an open-architecture sensor card for interoperability on a wide variety of multi-mission systems and open standard chassis.
Titan was selected as a C-UAS Program of Record capability for an undisclosed Department of Defense customer in 2022.
