Introducing KAPAN: A Cutting-Edge Counter-Drone Solution by Meteksan Defense

Meteksan Defence has unveiled KAPAN, an innovative counter-drone system designed to safeguard critical infrastructures and border areas from asymmetric UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) threats.

Advanced Detection Capabilities

KAPAN is equipped with the latest iteration of Meteksan’s Retinar FAR-AD radar, which boasts a newly designed antenna tailored for the accurate detection of mini and micro UAVs. This upgraded radar system features high-performance hardware and sophisticated algorithms enhanced by artificial intelligence,allowing it to identify aerial threats from greater distances while covering a broader surveillance area.

Extensive Tracking and Neutralization

In addition to its radar capabilities, KAPAN integrates a camera system that enables the classification and tracking of drone targets. It also includes a jamming system designed to neutralize these threats effectively. The command and control software consolidates data from all sensors, creating a unified aerial overview. This software leverages AI-driven algorithms within a flexible,scalable,and modular framework.

Expert Insights on Drone Threats

İzzet Adil Baktır, Vice President of meteksan Defence, stated, “The rise of drones as a potential threat has been a growing concern for several years. Globally, discussions are ongoing regarding the most effective strategies to counter this issue.The complexity of the problem requires a multifaceted approach. Our KAPAN Counter Drone System is designed with an open architecture that accommodates various sensors and drone neutralization methods, tailored to diverse operational requirements.”

Showcasing Innovation at IDEF 2021

“At IDEF 2021, we aim to showcase the advanced capabilities of the KAPAN Command Control Software. This AI-supported software can autonomously detect and neutralize drone threats within seconds,self-reliant of operator intervention. We believe this positions Meteksan Defence at the forefront of the competitive landscape in anti-drone technology,” he added.
