Microsoft is joining with Lockheed Martin to develop counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) capabilities.
Lockheed Martin’s Sanctum’s modular, scalable architecture integrates Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure in its digital infrastructure, which enables continuous improvement through AI-driven model retraining via the cloud.
Sanctum tracks, identifies and defends against hostile threats. Azure services, such as Azure IoT Hub, Azure Synapse and Azure AI Foundry, support Sanctum’s real-time threat detection, multi-sensor tracking and analytics.
“In a live exercise, a single operator used Sanctum’s unified console to detect and neutralise multiple hostile drones approaching a base perimeter reacting in seconds thanks to AI-powered threat classification and intuitive visual cues,” Lockheed Martin said.

The Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
