EnforceAir2 Maritime Version

PROTECTING MARITIME AND NAVAL ENVIRONMENTS FROM HOSTILE UAVs

For maritime environments and naval units, defending against drones can be a formidable task, especially in ports and in sensitive areas close to shore. Maritime challenges for C-UAS systems oftentimes relate to the continuity of communication, navigation, and sensor functionality, all of which may operate on similar frequency bands to unauthorized drones.

When operating from ports and near shore, vessels typically are restricted from using kinetic, jamming, and laser systems. At sea, jammer-based solutions can disrupt internal and external communications, and they may not be able to exercise full control over the threat.

Maritime operations require a trusted and proven counter-drone solution to protect naval and merchant vessels, cargo, crew and passengers, ports/harbors, critical navigation routes, and more from multiple simultaneous threats.

D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir2 Maritime Version offers uncompromised reliability and protection for all types of maritime and naval deployments with field-proven RF Cyber-Takeover C-UAS technology that does not interfere with communications, navigation, or other vital maritime and naval systems.

RF-Cyber C-UAS for Maritime and Naval Units

EnforceAir2 automatically and passively detects, locates, and identifies rogue drones, including the pilot location, then neutralizes the threat by allowing full control over the drone and land it safely in a predefined zone on the shoreline, vessel, or on the water. The system employs non-kinetic RF-Cyber technology, avoiding collateral damage, interference, or disturbance, safely preserving operational continuity.

During blue water scenarios, EnforceAir2 integrates smoothly as an important component of a maritime or naval layered air defense system. EnforceAir2 is at Technology-Readiness Level 9 (TRL9) in its maritime configuration, which means it has been proven through successful mission operations.

The system can be fitted to the smallest naval and merchant vessels and is scalable for larger platforms and those with complicated upper-deck superstructures. The system’s compactness allows elevated positioning and use of upper-deck locations. The hardware does not require cooling, is ruggedized for open water conditions, and operates on a low-power footprint.
