Hensoldt exhibits Xpeller Rapid at ILA 2018
Hensoldt has introduced a compact and deployable version of its Xpeller counter-UAS system called the Xpeller Rapid.
Xpeller Rapid can be integrated into a vehicle or deployed in a transport container. It uses a combination of radar, a camera, radio frequency detectors, direction finders, jammers and smart software to detect all UAS-related signals with precision, ensuring short reaction times.
Xpeller can detect and identify a UAS and assess its threat potential at ranges from a few hundred metres up to several kilometres. Based on real-time analyses of the control signals, a jammer then interrupts the link between UAS and pilot or interferes with its navigation.
The modular Xpeller system concept allows customised solutions to be created by combining individual devices from the product family depending on customer requirements and the local conditions.Related Equipment in Defence Insight
