EOS Defense Systems USA today announced that it is developing enhanced capabilities for its Slinger Remote Weapon System (RWS), incorporating capabilities like Aided Target Recognition and selectable levels of autonomy to meet the growing challenge of hostile drones.
According to Shawn Baerlocher, CEO of EOS Defense Systems USA. “The RWS can operate in a ‘stand-alone’ capacity, utilizing only its native, passive sensors or receive an external cue from a remote sensor. Either functionality allows effective execution of platform self-defense. The addition of an automation suite enables drone defeat with reduced burden on the warfighter. EOS Defense Systems USA will also begin manufacturing Slinger at our Huntsville, Alabama facility to meet growing demand from U.S. government customers.”
EOS has conducted many Slinger field tests and demonstrated high PKill rates against drone threats in operationally relevant environments, such as maneuvering Group 1 UAS, said the company in a press release. EOS envisions Slingers equipped with these advanced features deployed across multiple platforms as part of a layered defence architecture against UAS threats.
EOS Defense Systems USA is exhibiting at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition on Stand 4011.
