As global conflict and geopolitical challenges continue to escalate, defense strategies are increasingly emphasizing technological innovation and seamless integration across systems. These efforts aim to strengthen resilience, agility, and deterrence, with counter-unmanned aerial systems (Counter-UAS) and communications intelligence (COMINT) at the forefront of modern defense capabilities.
Nations and alliances, including NATO and AUKUS, are prioritizing joint development and integration, enhancing shared defense networks. For example, initiatives like NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and the European Sky Shield underscore the importance of interconnected systems, combining sensors, command controls, and weaponry. These developments ensure rapid response to emerging aerial threats, particularly unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which have evolved significantly in recent years.
Recognizing these challenges, SPX Communication Technologies has developed the BLACKTALON Ecosystem—a scalable, customizable solution designed to detect, track, and neutralize hostile drones. Leveraging decades of expertise, BLACKTALON Ecosystem integrates advanced technologies from SPX and its partners into a vendor-agnostic framework, enabling tailored solutions that meet diverse operational needs.
The BLACKTALON core includes active radars, EOIR systems, RF jammers, and RF direction finders, which can be customized or replaced thanks to its open architecture. This flexibility allows integration with cutting-edge tools such as 3D radar from Echodyne, autonomous tracking systems, and robust mobile mounting options.
Additionally, SPX’s Blackbird software enhances threat detection, tracking, and mitigation, while the Claw RF inhibitor disrupts and neutralizes hostile UAS activity. Supported by partnerships with leading manufacturers, the BLACKTALON Ecosystem exemplifies how collaboration drives innovation in Counter-UAS technology.
As Counter-UAS demand grows in 2025, SPX Communication Technologies remains at the forefront, delivering reliable solutions to safeguard critical operations worldwide.
