Documented Proposed To be validated Proposed architecture — not an operational or validated product.

What it does

Four capabilities. One connected platform.

The system points at a drone to neutralise it with EMI, syncs with ENGS-type sensors, reads soldiers' biometrics and reports everything to the command line.

01

Drone detection & awareness

Sensors observe the airspace; software detects, classifies and tracks aerial objects.

02

Sensor & wearable integration

Sensor data and wearable-tag data, including fatigue indicators, feed one shared layer.

03

Command intelligence & reporting

One interface shows alerts, personnel and wellbeing status, and a full event history.

04

Soldier & weapon safety

Locks the ARBEL trigger to help stop bidirectional shooting. Requires vendor approval.

Why it matters

Identification saves lives.

0soldiers killed in the period reported
0killed by friendly fire and other accidents
0of those were friendly-fire cases

Around one in five deaths in the period came from friendly fire and accidents. Faster personnel identification and a shared operational picture may reduce some of these risks.
