A counter-drone technology will seamlessly integrate with the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control system (FAAD C2), the US Army Joint Counter-UAS Office (JCO)’s interim command and control standard for countering small drones.

The DroneHunter unveiled by Fortem Technologies is a drone equipped with a net used to catch and take down rogue drones in the area. It is an autonomous, radar-guided drone for safe, kinetic, effective mitigation of small drones and fixed wings day and night. 

So far, the DroneHunter has over 4,000 captures and integrates with the radar system to find drones. All of these add up to create the SkyDrome system, an end-to-end counter-drone solution that detects, monitors, assesses, and mitigates drone threats.

Built with safety at its core, DroneHunter captures and tows away the dangerous or malicious drones with no collateral damage.

The US Army’s FAAD C2 system works with current systems to track friendly and enemy aircraft, cruise missiles, unmanned aircraft systems, and mortar and rocket rounds as identified by radar systems. The system also takes control of drone engagement operations. As the system can be run on most devices, it gives soldiers ground improved situational awareness, according to dronedj.com.

FAAD C2 software provides critical C2, situational awareness, and automated air track information by integrating engagement operations software for multiple systems, including Avenger, Sentinel, Army Mission Command, C-RAM SoS.
