Counter-UAS
Detect. Decide. Defeat.
The unmanned threat is evolving quickly. Small, low-cost drones can disrupt operations, threaten critical infrastructure, and create dangerous uncertainty for military, law enforcement, and public-safety personnel.
StrikeCore develops modular Counter-UAS capabilities designed to help operators detect, track, intercept, and defeat hostile unmanned aircraft with precision and control.
Working alongside AeroDesign Services (ADS), Westwood AI, and GUS Technology, StrikeCore is building an integrated ecosystem of aerial platforms, intelligent sensing, advanced power systems, and mission-configurable, multi-domain effectors for today’s rapidly changing operating environment.
A Layered Counter-UAS Approach
Effective Counter-UAS requires a layered system capable of identifying a threat, supporting informed decisions, and deploying the appropriate response for the mission.
StrikeCore’s approach brings together:
Detection & Tracking
Sensor integration and AI-assisted processing to support detection, classification, tracking, and engagement decisions.
Aerial Interception
Man-portable unmanned aircraft designed to rapidly deploy and carry mission-specific payloads.
Kinetic Defeat
Compact, lightweight effector systems engineered for drone-mounted or ground-based Counter-UAS applications.
Non-Lethal Mitigation
Capture and disruption capabilities intended for environments where collateral risk, sensitive infrastructure, or restrictive rules of engagement demand additional options.
Modular Integration
An open-architecture approach designed to support evolving sensors, command-and-control pathways, effectors, and mission requirements.

Lightweight Kinetic Defeat for Small UAS Threats
The Drone Platform Gun (DPG) is StrikeCore’s lightweight kinetic Counter-UAS effector concept designed for integration aboard small- to mid-sized unmanned aircraft or for use in ground-based configurations. Engineered around weight efficiency, modular integration, and controlled operation, the DPG is intended to provide a rapidly deployable kinetic response against small hostile drones where speed, precision, and mobility matter.
Designed For:
Drone-mounted Counter
UAS engagements
Expeditionary and rapidly deployable operations
Ground-based or fixed-position configurations
Modular integration with sensors and targeting systems
Low-signature, mission-adaptable deployment
CTR — Capture, Tether & Retrieve
Non-Lethal Drone Defeat and Recovery
Not every drone threat needs to be met with a destructive response. The CTR— Capture, Tether & Retrieve system is StrikeCore’s non-lethal Counter-UAS concept designed to capture and control hostile or unauthorized drones while reducing the risk of uncontrolled debris or collateral damage.
Designed for aerial deployment, CTR provides an alternative mitigation option for sensitive environments such as airports, public venues, industrial sites, critical infrastructure, and domestic security operations.
Mission Applications:
Sensitive-site drone interception
Infrastructure and facility protection
Urban and public-safety environments
Drone recovery for analysis or evidence preservation
Operations requiring reduced collateral risk

The Aerial Foundation for Mission Payloads
Developed by AeroDesign Services (ADS), the Bandit™ unmanned aerial platform is designed to support high-speed, high-lift, mission-configurable operations. Bandit™ serves as a potential aerial carrier for StrikeCore Counter-UAS effectors, advanced sensor payloads, intelligence collection systems, and autonomous mission support tools. Its modular design is intended to support evolving mission requirements across reconnaissance, overwatch, targeting, payload delivery, and Counter-UAS interception.
Platform Capabilities:
Man-portable deployment
Mission-configurable payload integration
ISR and targeting support Kinetic and non-lethal effector carriage
Advanced composite airframe design
Integration with autonomy and sensor-fusion systems
Supported by GUS Technology
Advanced Mission Power
Unmanned systems and integrated effectors depend on reliable, high-density power. Through collaboration with GUS Technology, StrikeCore is pursuing energy solutions intended to support extended mission endurance, payload integration, and operational reliability in demanding environments.
The result is a Counter-UAS architecture designed not only for capability, but also for practical deployment, sustainment, and mission growth.
AI-Assisted Detection & Sensor Fusion
Powered by Westwood AI
Modern drone threats move quickly and operate in increasingly complex environments. Through its collaboration with Westwood AI, StrikeCore is developing a system architecture intended to support advanced detection, classification, tracking, and decision-support functions.
The goal is to give operators better information, faster response options, and greater control throughout the engagement process.
Focus Areas:
Multi-sensor fusion
EO/IR, RF, and acoustic data integration
AI-assisted detection and classification
Target tracking and prioritization
Human-on-the-loop operational workflows
Open-architecture integration with command-and-control systems
Built for the Operator
Our systems are being developed around the priorities that matter in the field:
Rapid deployment
Reduced system weight
Modular payload options
Scalable kinetic and non-lethal responses
Operator control and mission flexibility
Integration with existing and future defense architectures
Reliable performance in austere environments
StrikeCore’s Counter-UAS work is driven by direct engagement with professionals who understand the real operational challenges created by unmanned threats.
From fixed-site protection to expeditionary operations, StrikeCore is developing Counter-UAS technology intended to meet the threat where it exists — in the real world, under real operational constraints.
Counter-UAS Applications
Defense & Expeditionary Operations
Deployable systems for military units operating against small unmanned threats in contested or rapidly changing environments.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Layered drone mitigation options for facilities, energy sites, airports, transportation hubs, and essential public assets.
Law Enforcement & Public Safety
Mission-appropriate Counter-UAS capabilities for sensitive environments where control, precision, and reduced collateral risk are essential.
Mobile & Remote Security
Portable systems intended for rapidly deployable protection of personnel, assets, and temporary operating locations.
Mission-Ready Innovation
The drone threat is no longer a future concern. It is an immediate operational challenge requiring adaptable, scalable, and effective solutions.
StrikeCore is building the next generation of Counter-UAS capabilities by combining lightweight effectors, advanced unmanned aircraft, AI-supported sensing, and mission-focused system integration.
