As modern battlefields evolve, the proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has introduced new challenges across military, border security, and critical infrastructure environments.
At SPX Communication Technologies, we address this threat with a cutting-edge, layered Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) strategy that ensures battlespace superiority – powered by the BLACKTALON Ecosystem.
Softkill vs. Hardkill: Why Both Matter in C-UAS Defense
In the complex domain of UAS threat mitigation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. While hardkill solutions (e.g., kinetic interceptors and gun systems) offer physical takedown capabilities, they often face limitations in accuracy, range, and deployment conditions. This is where softkill solutions play a vital role – especially in directional jamming.
Directional jamming is not only cost-effective but also capable of engaging threats at significant distances, giving operators critical time to react and respond. When paired with hardkill systems, it forms a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy.
SPX Communication Technologies’ BLACKTALON Ecosystem excels at delivering multi-layered softkill capabilities that complement kinetic responses and provide flexible, scalable protection.
Directional vs. Omni: The Right Tool for Every Tactical Situation
Every mission requires the right tool – and in C-UAS operations, antenna selection is paramount:
- True Omni-Directional Antennas: Best suited for last-mile defense, providing 360° coverage for immediate threats but with limited range.
- Directional Jammers: Offer focused, long-range disruption, ideal for pre-emptive threat engagement.
- Multi-Band Directional Jammers: Provide broad frequency coverage, efficient RF generation, and precise targeting of drone control and navigation signals.
- Integrated C2 Systems: Enable real-time threat analysis and optimized jamming effectiveness, tailored to the mission at hand.
The BLACKTALON Ecosystem unifies these capabilities to deliver unmatched versatility in contested electromagnetic environments.
Range Matters: Gaining Time and Tactical Advantage
Effective C-UAS strategies are built around the principle of early detection and engagement. The BLACKTALON Ecosystem enables:
- Long-Range Detection and Mitigation: Giving operators the advantage of reaction time.
- Targeted Energy Deployment: Maximizes disruption over broad operational areas.
- Close-In Response Capability: Ensures rapid neutralization of immediate threats with pinpoint accuracy.
In the battlespace, where seconds can define outcomes, range is not just a feature, it’s a necessity.
Future-Proofing the Fight Against Evolving UAS Threats
The battlespace is dynamic. So is the BLACKTALON Ecosystem. Designed with adaptability and scalability in mind, it ensures readiness for both current and future challenges:
- Modular, Software-Defined Radios (SDRs): Easily reconfigured to address evolving threat profiles.
- Centralized Command and Control: Supports multiple, simultaneous operations with streamlined coordination.
- Network-Capable Architecture: Seamless integration across platforms and mission scenarios.
- Mission-Specific Optimization: Quickly adapt to terrain, threat type, and operational goals.
Our future-proof approach ensures your forces are never behind the curve.
