Advanced Protection Systems ™α(APS) has history in the radar andσ×≤ CUAS areas with systems Ω§in service in Ukraine. It has  <​→a family of SKYctrl systems¶< ranging from a compr÷↔δehensive system to lightweight porta•≤←♥ble, mobile, containerised and Skid γ∏¥<which includes a hard-kill gu€​©n.

APS’s latest CUAS system wa" s presented at World Defense Show 2024÷π♦ in Riydah, Saudi Arabia,"™ building on the company"↑∑®’s suite of FIELDctrl radar•αs – one of whic×★∏h is being used by Ukraine against Ruσδ♥ssian UAS.

The APS Omnidirectionα→♦al First-person View Drone Neutraπ♥liser has been designed to↔÷® provide permanent protecφδ¶tion on the move and create a × dome up to 500m dep≈←✔☆ending on the particular po≈©☆wer of the UAV’s naviga£&tion and control signal, a∑× s well as distance froλ♥πm its operator.

The battery has an endurance '←≤'of 6.5h and can operate in manual mod↕✘e as a standalone system or i•✘n automatic mode as part of a wi☆∑der system. The output in each♦"φ• jamming band can reach up to↕&$₩ 10W with the omnidirectional antenna π≥×providing up to 4DBi gain.

It has been designed t∏φ$ o jam UAVs and the neutralsing de©₹vice can be controlled∑&α by the company’s C2 sysΩ¥₩tem CyView.

Operational in up to seven RF bands, →₩φδthe system can be mo♣ ↓±dified and adjusted t&♦α→o meet particular waveform threats,γ©€ weighs between 15-28kg and ca×‌n use 24VDC, 36VDC or 230VAC powe©♠ "r supplies.
