OVERVIEW
Hawk Guard (ELI-5035) is a highly automated Active Protection System (APS) designed to detect, classify, track and intercept aerial threats, including unmanned aerial systems (UAS), loitering munitions, and drones. Deployed from ground vehicles or at fixed installations, HawkGuard engages targets at safe distances with agile attack drones that neutralize them through kinetic impact. The use of inert (non-explosive) interceptor drones ensures safe storage, transportation and operation. HawkGuard can operate in a fully autonomous mode, or with a human in the loop.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Operates both on the move and at fixed installations
- 360° automatic operation
- Engages a range of aerial threats out to 1000m
- Capable of intercepting aerial threats while simultaneously performing situational awareness and early warning missions
- Operates effectively in GPS denied environments
- Inert kinetic interceptors increase safety and avoid collateral damage
- Interfaces with 3rd party systems
Values & Benefits
The complete turnkey HawkGuard system comprises the StormGuard (ELM-2135) X-band AESA radar, electro optical sensor, drone launch system, and mission computer. Careful consideration to SWaP facilitates easy vehicle integration and positioning to protect stationary assets.
Fully compatible with ELTA’s M3S2 (ELI-3312) Multi-Mission Multi-Sensor Suite, existing users of this powerful system can add HawkGuard’s effectors and mission software to enhance lethality against aerial threats.
