TCI and Enterprise Control Systems displayed a new version of their BlackTALON counter-uncrewed systems (C-UAS) solution at this year's Association of Old Crows event with an emphasis on ease of use.
TCI International (TCI) and fellow SPX company Enterprise Control Systems (ECS) presented BlackTALON 2, an upgraded version of their counter-uncrewed Aerial System (cUAS) solution, at the Association of Old Crows (AOC) expo in Washington in October.
BlackTALON 2, already on the market, incorporates passive and active radio frequency (RF) detection, RF and electro-optical (EO) tracking, and active RF defeat capabilities. The new version has two variants, first with a single passive RF detector, active radar, EO and RF inhibitors, and integrated command and control (C2) software. The second option adds 'client-specified components or third-party sensors'.
