The ReDrone system provides functionalities beyond the common active and passive sensors that enable it to rapidly detect and locate multiple drones simultaneously within the protected area. The system can detect, identify, locate, track and neutralize hostile UAS during day and night, both in urban and rural environments and under various weather conditions.
Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW, said the growing threat of drones creates an increasing demand for our Counter UAS solutions.
“We have leveraged our technology of advanced radar, signal intelligence, electro optic and electronic warfare technologies to develop an advanced, open and future ready solution for this emerging requirement of our customers,” Oren Sabag said in a statement sent to Defence Star.
