As global conflict and geopolitical challenges continue to escalate, defense strategies are increasingly emphasizing technological innovation and seamless integration across systems. These efforts aim to strengthen resilience, agility, and deterrence, with counter-unmanned aerial systems (Counter-UAS) and communications intelligence (COMINT) at the forefront of modern defense capabilities.

Nations and alliances, including NATO and AUKUS, are prioritizing joint development and integration, enhancing shared defense networks. For example, initiatives like NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and the European Sky Shield underscore the importance of interconnected systems, combining sensors, command controls, and weaponry. These developments ensure rapid response to emerging aerial threats, particularly unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which have evolved significantly in recent years.

Recognizing these challenges, SPX Communication Technologies has developed the BLACKTALON Ecosystem—a scalable, customizable solution designed to detect, track, and neutralize hostile drones. Leveraging decades of expertise, BLACKTALON Ecosystem integrates advanced technologies from SPX and its partners into a vendor-agnostic framework, enabling tailored solutions that meet diverse operational needs.

The BLACKTALON core includes active radars, EOIR systems, RF jammers, and RF direction finders, which can be customized or replaced thanks to its open architecture. This flexibility allows integration with cutting-edge tools such as 3D radar from Echodyne, autonomous tracking systems, and robust mobile mounting options.

Additionally, SPX’s Blackbird software enhances threat detection, tracking, and mitigation, while the Claw RF inhibitor disrupts and neutralizes hostile UAS activity. Supported by partnerships with leading manufacturers, the BLACKTALON Ecosystem exemplifies how collaboration drives innovation in Counter-UAS technology.

As Counter-UAS demand grows in 2025, SPX Communication Technologies remains at the forefront, delivering reliable solutions to safeguard critical operations worldwide. For further information on our Counter-UAS capabilities, including the BLACKTALON Ecosystem, visit www.tcibr.com/blacktalon-ecosystem or contact the team at sales@enterprisecontrol.co.uk.

As global conflicts intensify, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) increasingly target critical infrastructure, driving the need for advanced Counter-UAS technology. From government agencies to military forces, Counter-UAS capabilities are essential for detecting, neutralizing, and preventing drone-based threats. At the forefront of this mission is SPX Communication Technologies, whose BLACKTALON Ecosystem represents a significant advancement in Counter-UAS technology, integrating flexibility, scalability, and vendor-agnostic design to address today’s evolving threat landscape.

Understanding the Need for Counter-UAS Solutions in Critical Infrastructure Protection
The growing use of UAS by both state and non-state actors has elevated security risks for essential infrastructure, from energy facilities to government installations. With drones becoming more accessible and versatile, security agencies face a challenge: keeping pace with a dynamic, rapidly evolving threat that exploits low-cost, highly programmable drone technology. For this reason, Counter-UAS solutions are critical for maintaining infrastructure security and ensuring resilience against disruptive drone incursions.

The Rising UAS Threat to Critical Infrastructure
In recent years, UAS threats have evolved from surveillance activities and illicit operations, such as unauthorized sports event filming, to more malicious activities that target high-security areas. Even as drones serve valuable roles in areas like crowd management and emergency response, their misuse poses significant risks. The widespread deployment of UAS technology by threat actors demands innovative Counter-UAS solutions that can adapt swiftly to new tactics and technologies.

BLACKTALON, an advanced Counter-UAS solution from SPX Communication Technologies, addresses these needs with an adaptable and modular approach to critical infrastructure defense. The BLACKTALON Ecosystem is designed to detect, track, and neutralize drones, leveraging the latest advancements in radar, RF technology, and sensor integration to keep potential threats at bay.

Innovation Through Collaboration: The BLACKTALON Ecosystem Advantage
With the BLACKTALON Ecosystem, SPX Communication Technologies provides a highly adaptable Counter-UAS solution. This system combines SPX’s expertise in radio frequency (RF) technology with a multi-sensor, vendor-agnostic platform. By integrating a variety of sensors—including radar, EOIR, RFDF, and jamming components—BLACKTALON offers a comprehensive response to diverse UAS threats.

The open architecture of the BLACKTALON Ecosystem empowers organizations to tailor configurations based on mission-specific needs. For instance, they can integrate advanced optical tracking from OpenWorks Engineering or deploy high-performance 3D radar from Echodyne. By enabling modular updates, the BLACKTALON Ecosystem provides security agencies with the agility to meet evolving Concept of Operations (CONOPS) without being restricted by a single vendor’s technology.

Real-World Success: Trials and Global Deployments
BLACKTALON has proven its value in high-threat areas, including Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa, where Counter-UAS capabilities are vital to mission success. SPX recently conducted trials at the Hans Christian Andersen Airfield in Denmark to enhance range performance across airfields and industrial complexes. These trials showcased BLACKTALON’s effectiveness in creating a dispersed network of assets, achieving scalable and secure coverage for critical installations.

Such real-world testing underscores SPX’s commitment to iterative development, based on customer feedback and operational insights, ensuring that the BLACKTALON Ecosystem remains agile and responsive to the needs of infrastructure protection teams worldwide.

Future Outlook: Counter-UAS Solutions to Meet Evolving Security Needs
As 2025 approaches, SPX Communication Technologies remains committed to advancing Counter-UAS technology and supporting the defense and security sectors. The BLACKTALON Ecosystem will continue to evolve, with expanded partnerships and an enhanced focus on anticipating UAS threats. Through close collaboration with defense procurement teams, SPX aims to deliver the operational flexibility and tactical advantage needed for effective UAS threat management.

The BLACKTALON Ecosystem exemplifies the power of innovation and collaboration in securing critical infrastructure. With its adaptable design, proven real-world performance, and commitment to meeting future challenges, BLACKTALON is set to redefine Counter-UAS solutions for critical infrastructure protection worldwide.

By leveraging the power of innovation and collaboration, SPX Communication Technologies continues to strengthen Counter-UAS solutions that protect critical infrastructure and ensure a secure future.

We can’t believe it’s nearly two weeks since USTTI came to a close! 

We had a fantastic  week learning about  topics such as AI, machine learning, HF in today’s world and spectrum surveyors, and what better way to learn than to get out of the classroom – this year we were fortunate enough to take the group on a Hornblower cruise to check out the San Francisco Bay and its historic landmarks.  A big thank you to Karl the fog for taking the day off and showing us some great views of this wonderful city. 

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to all participants and everyone involved in the success of USTTI ’24 – we hope you have learned a lot of practical knowledge to take back to your respective countries! 

Until next year, enjoy the photo collage, everyone!
