Counter-UAS (C-UAS)
StrikeCore—working alongside Aero Design Services (ADS) and GUS Technology—develops man-portable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and precision counter-UAS aircraft engineered to support federal, state, and defense partners.
Our work focuses on ISR, targeting, acoustic-aided detection, and kinetic drone-mitigation, aligned with emerging DHS, DoD, and interagency requirements.
What We Build
Man-Portable UAS Weapons Platforms
StrikeCore and ADS jointly develop lightweight, low-signature unmanned aircraft—Bandit—that can be rapidly deployed for:
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR)
Overwatch
Counter-drone mitigation
Target acquisition and cueing
Modular payload operations
Payload Integration
Our modular payload architecture supports:
EO/IR sensors
Mapping and situational-awareness tools
Communications packages
Acoustic detection sensors
Precision-engagement or counter-UAS payloads
Autonomy
Kinetic Counter-UAS Mitigation
StrikeCore has designed the Drone Platform Gun (DPG)—a precision, low-collateral kinetic system designed for controlled mitigation of unauthorized or hostile sUAS.
Key attributes include:
Electrically actuated, low-recoil design
Low acoustic and visual signature
Controlled, repeatable kinetic effects
Safe, operator-directed employment
Low collateral damage
Seamless compatibility with ADS-built man-portable UAS platforms
Primary Systems
“Bandit” — Man-Portable ISR UAV (ADS)
A unmanned aircraft engineered by Aero Design Services and integrated with StrikeCore weapons systems. Bandit is optimized for:
ISR and area monitoring
Composite-material airframe construction
Low-signature flight profiles
Autonomy
Rapid, field-portable deployment
Modular payloads, including counter-UAS components
Bandit supports missions requiring mobility and rapid employment.
