Research abstract

The modern battlefield has seen a significant rise in the utilization of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), particularly in conflict zones such as Ukraine. Adversaries are leveraging low-cost UAS platforms to conduct a variety of missions, from reconnaissance to offensive operations. Current counter-UAS (cUAS) solutions, while effective, are often prohibitively expensive and face significant manufacturing capacity constraints. This presents a critical need for scalable, cost-effective solutions capable of neutralizing UAS threats at a similar cost magnitude. OKSI have built a hardware seeker capable of addressing these needs, but there are algorithmic enhancements that will improve performance. Those are proposed under this effort.
