Security threats from small UAS are increasing, as seen by numerous recent incidents around the world.
When you need to defend against drones, one size does not fit all. Raytheon Technologies' portfolio of sensors and effectors, networked into a command-and-control system, covers the complete counter-UAS mission.
'We have developed the High Energy Laser system, which has proven to be the most precise, efficient and effective way to get eyes on target, and to hard kill smaller drones that have snuck into your inner defences,' says Jeff Newsom, Raytheon Technologies' principal director for business development for international high energy laser and counter UAS.
