Metis has launched a lightweight version of its Skyperion RF counter-uncrewed aerial system platform. Skyperion Lightweight features the same detect, track and identify (DTI) sensor capability as Metis’ Skyperion Rugged, but has been re-engineered into a smaller weight and power (SWaP) format for users requiring mobility, rapid deployment and on-the-move operation.
Skyperion Rugged’s RF DTI capability has been integrated into the UK Royal Air Force’s ORCUS system and Leonardo’s Falcon Shield deployed with NATO allies. The Skyperion product range is designed to capture RF emissions of varying strengths across the spectrum, filtering out background noise and known entities, before analysing them to identify and locate potential threats.
