The Cerberus XL C-UAS addresses the entire UAS kill chain, from detection and tracking to identification and defeat. Whether securing military bases, government facilities, or critical infrastructure, this battle-tested solution ensures uninterrupted protection against evolving aerial threats.


Features
Modularity
Designed to support a variety of sensors and payloads, the system offers multiple range configurations tailored to mission requirements.
Its modular architecture allows for easy customization with pre-integrated sensors and the capability to incorporate new components as needed for specific operational needs.
Continuous Air Defense
Maintain uninterrupted air security by detecting and tracking over 500 targets simultaneously with advanced radar and RF technology.
Integrated imaging and RF sensors provide real-time detection, tracking, and identification of potential threats, ensuring comprehensive situational awareness and rapid threat response.
Advanced Control Interface
The Teledyne Cameleon C2 client interface offers mapping, track display, camera control, mission recording, and system health monitoring. The NNTC video analytics enhances radar tracks for real-time awareness. An integrated API enables data sharing and command reception, optimizing mission effectiveness, and sensors and effectors control.
Rapidly Deployable, Rugged Trailer Platform
Fast deployment in extreme conditions, the Cerberus XL C-UAS system features a free-standing, fixed mast trailer platform for land, sea, and air missions.
All components are managed from a unified control system. It includes a two-axis inclinometer
and digital GPS for precise targeting on uneven terrain and operates in GPS/GNSS-denied environments.
Multi-Domain Use
Versatile across land, air, and marine domains, the system is optimized with full, - distinct C-UAS operational modes.
Each mode is tailored to effectively detect, track, identify
and engage air threats in its specific environment, ensuring maximum mission adaptability and efficiency.
Soft Kill Chain
A layered countermeasure system using radar and RF for detection, jamming and disruption, and EO/IR for precise tracking and identification.
Design for precise target acquisition our C2 moves this data into a single integrated picture
and used filtered data to cue kinetic options capability, depending on mission needs.
