BLACKTALON 981 Counter UAS
RF Detection, Location, Tracking & Defeat
- Passive RF-Sensor detection and geo-location
- Long range, directional multi-band RF inhibition defeat
- Intuitive defeat
- Automated operations
- Fully integrated solution
The BLACKTALON capability is delivered using only fully proven TRL9 systems, proven in combat operations through multiple deployments in hostile territories and the harshest environments.
The BLACKTALON Counter-Drone System provides detection, location, identification, tracking and RF inhibition of drones. BLACKTALON Model 981 incorporates one or more RF sensors for drone detection, location and tracking and, a multi-channel RF inhibitor for drone defeat; other sensors can be integrated as needed to increase CONOPS flexibility. BLACKTALON is the result of a technology partnership between TCI International and Enterprise Control Systems (both of SPX Technologies), leveraging more than 85 years’ combined RF experience. This experience in the RF and Counter Drone domains for military applications ensures high performance, reliability and availability of the BLACKTALON Counter-Drone solution
