Product Description

BLACKTALON Model 982 incorporates Radar and RF sensors for drone detection, identification, location and tracking; an electro-optical sensor for drone verification and video tracking; and a multi-channel RF inhibitor for drone defeat. BLACKTALON is the result of a technology partnership between TCI International and Enterprise Control Systems (both of SPX Corporation), working together with a number of valued partners with more than 135years combined experience. This experience in the RF, EO, C2, and Counter-Drone domains for military applications ensures high performance, reliability and availability of the BLACKTALON Counter-Drone solution.

The BLACKTALON capability is delivered using only fully proven TRL9 systems, proven in combat operations through multiple deployments in hostile territories and the harshest environments.
