Comprehensive field training exercises revealed the unique capabilities of a counter drone solution. The exercises were executed by Ascent Vision Technologies (AVT) which demonstrated the core capabilities and operational critera of the X-MADIS Fixed Site system with a key international customer. The training focused on critical details for successful mission execution, system installation and maintenance requirements.

The X-MADIS, eXpeditionary Mobile Air Defense Integrated System, is a fully integrated counter drone solution that detects, locates, tracks, identifies and defeats small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) by combining the capabilities of radar, optics, radio frequency detection and electronic command and control mitigation of the unmanned aircraft. The X-MADIS is unique in that it accomplishes the mission while the unit is static or on the move, at speeds exceeding 40mph.  

The X-MADIS is in service globally protecting some of the world’s most influential leaders, as well as combat forces, civilians and critical infrastructure. 

“The training session allowed our customer to utilize the system’s full range of capabilities and experience its effectiveness,” said Lee Dingman, President at AVT. “We simulated real-life drone attack scenarios, giving the customer the opportunity to execute the response and to experience the outcome in real time. We also demonstrated the system’s ability to detect and mitigate several drones at a time.”

The training also included system installation and set-up options, maintenance and operational techniques such as efficiently incorporating software enhancements and trouble-shooting, according to the company’s announcement. 

“AVT is committed to making sure every customer’s operation runs smoothly and effectively,” Dingman continued. “We design and execute our customized training solutions to help customers make rapid and informed decisions when responding to sUAS threats.”
