What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
CACI launched new C-UAS system
CACI International has released a counter-UAS system called SkyTracker designed to protect high-value assets and support public safety against the increasing threat posed by the unlawful misuse of UAS, the company announced on 19 November.
SkyTracker provides continuous, automated monitoring, day or night, in any weather condition, to detect, identify and track the radio links of UAS operating in restricted or protected airspace.
The system’s mitigation capability provides responders with precise information in a defined geographic location in order to initiate countermeasures that do not interfere with legitimate electronics or communications systems in the area, or with UAS that are being operated lawfully. According to the company, it also has the capability to locate UAS ground operators.
The system design is modular and scalable for application in different environments. It can protect high-value assets in geographically compact locations such as government buildings, embassies, and stadiums, as well as provide wide-area defense of airports, military bases, and areas under temporary flight bans.
John Mengucci, chief operating officer and president, CACI US operations, said: ‘CACI’s SkyTracker system provides our customers with the unique capability to precisely locate UAS and their ground operators. Our system has been demonstrated to address a variety of UAS threat scenarios.
'In addition to the protection of airports, an effort undertaken in our recently announced research and development agreement with the federal government, SkyTracker has broad applications in the protection of critical infrastructure, stadiums, events, or anywhere drones pose a potential risk to people or assets.’
