SPX Communication Technologies introduces customisable C-UAS capability

SPX Communication Technologies has launched the BLACKTALON Ecosystem, a new Counter-Uncrewed Aerial System (C-UAS) capability.

The BLACKTALON Ecosystem integrates SPX Communication Technologies’ existing BLACKTALON C-UAS technology with a vendor-agnostic framework. The core BLACKTALON system includes active radars, EOIR, passive RFDF, RF jammer, and mast configuration. While SPX will continue to offer this standard configuration, the open architecture of BLACKTALON Ecosystem allows any of these elements to be customised or replaced. 

Customers can select autonomous optical tracking from OpenWorks, 3D radar from Echodyne, RF subsystems from SPX and mount them on a range of dispersed or centrally located mobile or transportable masts to provide a single scalable BLACKTALON C-UAS capability. These latest capabilities join the Ecosystem alongside existing providers Chess Dynamics, supplier of surveillance, fire control, and large positioning systems, and Blighter, supplier of ground-based electronic scanning radar systems.
