Roke launches dynamic and portable Counter-UAS system to tackle growing unmanned air system and drone threat

Roke has today launched Roke Agile Counter-UAS – a dynamic, portable, and deployable system dedicated to helping military and civilian organisations tackle the growing and evolving threat posed by Unmanned Air Systems (UAS).

Roke Agile Counter-UAS offers a two-pronged defence to meet the rapidly evolving threat to people, assets, and infrastructure. The scalable and flexible solution includes: a standalone C-UAS sensor system, RapidEO; and a pioneering open-architecture, interoperable fusion and autonomy engine, Roke Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RRAS) Decision-Making Module (DMM).   

Roke’s AI-powered RapidEO sensor system is a dynamic all-in-one solution for detecting and confirming UAS threats. Portable, lightweight and requiring limited power supply, RapidEO can be deployed at scale to protect vehicles, buildings and people. Its unique sensing agility allows it to protect against swarms and multi-axis attacks even in cluttered environments, raising the alarm and allowing decision-makers to respond quickly.  

For networked and multi-sensor applications, Roke’s open-architecture fusion and autonomy engine, RRAS DMM, is fully interoperable and allows users to integrate their choice of sensor mix to best address a specific challenge. This brings a new level of flexible capability to the market and is unlike other closed and stove piped solutions.

Critically, as the UAS threat evolves and sensor technology advances, decision-makers are not locked-in – the solution allows users to adapt deployment more quickly than with other solutions to dominate the new threat. RRAS DMM works with a range of sensors from Roke’s ecosystem of technology partners.
