Chess Dynamics has enhanced its Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) technologies by incorporating a variety of advanced sensors, substantially improving its capability to address UAS threats.
In collaboration with tech innovators Echodyne, Squarehead, and CommTech (TCI | ECS), the company has introduced a state-of-the-art Electronically Steered Array (ESA) 4D radar alongside complex acoustic technologies, augmenting its existing C-UAS offerings.
this upgraded C-UAS system boasts the ability to detect targets from extended distances, pinpoint locations using 4D coordinates, ensure stable and accurate tracking, and facilitate precise classification and identification, thereby enabling effective response measures.
Rupert Grinling, Land Sales Manager at Chess, remarked, “The rapid evolution of UAS technology presents increasing challenges in countering these threats. This integration could transform the management of C-UAS threats. Our C-UAS portfolio is akin to a versatile toolkit, providing a extensive and advanced technological solution for aerial operators.”
He further stated, “Our integrated C-UAS System empowers clients to enhance their response capabilities through improved situational awareness via our C2 System, while also allowing for earlier threat identification with our upgraded sensor systems. This creates a foundation for more informed decision-making, and with the addition of target identification and image tracking software, the process becomes more efficient and less demanding for the operator.”
Comprehensive C-UAS Solutions
The complete range of C-UAS technologies designed for the 0-10km spectrum includes Chess’s innovative C2 system, which features an intuitive user interface, echodyne’s 4D Radar offering 360° Azimuth x 90° elevation coverage, Squarehead’s acoustic Sensor nodes that create a distributed passive detection network, R/F D/F technologies, CommTech’s Jammer, and chess’s latest HD Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) camera equipped with edge processing and enhanced tracking capabilities for challenging targets.
The integration of multiple sensors results in a performance level that consistently surpasses that of standalone or non-integrated sensors and effectors.
David Montague, Director of Business Development EMEAI at echodyne, expressed, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Chess team to introduce our groundbreaking C-UAS 4D Radar Technology to the UK market. The integration and testing phases have gone exceptionally well, and we are very satisfied with the outcomes.”
Marc Haysey, UK Managing Director and Commercial Leader at commtech (TCI | ECS), noted, “Our partnership with Chess dates back to 2015, initially utilizing the Claw Inhibitor and more recently focusing on Drone Detection. This latest integration further solidifies our long-standing collaboration. commtech is supplying RF detection and inhibition capabilities to complement Chess’s EO and C2 systems.”
Stig Nyvold, CEO at Squarehead, added, “Discovair from Squarehead is a passive sensor that allows for directional detection of drones and other threats using solely acoustic methods. We take pride in our collaboration with Chess Dynamics to develop a system that addresses the entire spectrum of drone threats, rather than just segments of it. Chess has proven to be a valuable partner with an impressive technological foundation.”
