DroneShield and Teledyne FLIR have announced a collaboration to offer a joint sensing and mitigation solution for unmanned aerial threats.

 

As part of the collaboration, Teledyne FLIR is extending its counter-UAS thermal imaging sensing technology to the DroneShield platform, which has developed and applied its powerful AI and machine learning software algorithms via radiofrequency (RF) sensing and computer vision technologies. The addition of Teledyne FLIR thermal camera hardware and expertise will enable military customers to improve detection, including identifying and tracking numerous unmanned threats in the thermal and RF spectrums at considerable range, providing a unique and ground-breaking capability offered within a single system.

 

The combined sensor offering has secured an initial marquee customer, a major Western military agency, which will be deploying the combined system at one of the best-known military testing ranges in the world.
