Silent Archer Counter-UAS System

The operationally ready, field-proven, Silent Archer counter-UAS system detects,

tracks, classifies, identifies and disrupts low, slow and small airborne threats.

System Components
Radar EW System EO/IR Camera User Display Direction Finding Unit
(Optional)

Force protection
Critical infrastructure
protection
Security for VIPs and
high profile events,
such as the Olympics
and G8/G20 summits
The Silent Archer system is a complete, end-to-end counter-unmanned aircraft system (UAS)
solution designed for critical defense and security applications. It combines radar, electronic
warfare (EW), camera and a user display to detect, track, classify, identify and disrupt hostile
aircraft, whether a lone target or an aircraft swarm.
The field-proven Silent Archer system has been sucessfully demonstrated at U.S. government-
sponsored events since 2005, such as JIAMDOs Black Dart, the Army Warfighting Assessment
(AWA), Network Integration Evaluation (NIE), and Maneuvers and Fires Integrated Exercise (MFIX).

Urban environment The Silent Archer counter-UAS system is the solution of choice for VIP protection and high profile
surveillance events such as the G8 and G20 Summits, as well as the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Detect
The Silent Archer system employs two U.S.
Army Programs of Record for UAS detection
an air surveillance radar and an EW system.
These systems scan the airspace for low, slow
and small (LSS) airborne targets, collecting
information such as 3-D location, radio
frequency signature, and more. Together, the
EW and radar systems accurately detect, track
and identify hostile UAS for making effective
decisions regarding threats.
Decide
The combination of radar signature data and
electronic surveillance information is sufficient
for positive identification of UAS targets.
Identification can then be further enhanced
through the use of an electro-optical/infrared
(EO/IR) camera for visual identification. With the
visual identification being made, the operator
can confidently decide on which, if any, actions
must be taken against the threat.
Defeat
Once a UAS has been identified as hostile, the
operator has the option of engaging it in a variety
of low-cost, low-risk ways with the EW system,
such as jamming the communication links of
the UAS, causing it to return to its base station
or perform an emergency landing. The same
techniques work against UAS swarms, since
jamming of the RF band can defeat multiple
targets simultaneously.
If electronic methods are insufficient, the
operator can cue a weapon system to defeat
the non-cooperative target.
Applications

Force protection in contested environments
Critical infrastructure protection
