CACI International delivers advanced software-defined counter-UAS technologies for detecting, tracking and defeating rapidly evolving drone threats.
Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) is pleased to announce the addition of CACI International’s counter-unmanned systems (C-UxS) division to our global supplier ecosystem. Their new Gold supplier profile showcases a portfolio of modular and scalable counter-drone technologies designed to protect military personnel, national security interests, critical infrastructure and civilian populations.
Drawing on more than two decades of counter-drone experience, CACI has deployed more than 700 C-UxS systems worldwide. The company’s integrated architecture combines multi-domain sensing, digital processing and extensive threat characterization to rapidly detect, identify and track unmanned aircraft across the electromagnetic spectrum. Continuous analysis of adversary UAS hardware, software and communications helps CACI adapt its technologies to emerging threats, while non-kinetic defeat capabilities provide options for mitigating hostile drones with minimal risk to surrounding infrastructure and communities.
Key capabilities and products from CACI International include:
SkyValor: A layered counter-UAS solution providing long-range early warning and protection against Group 1 to 5 unmanned aircraft. SkyValor integrates RF sensing, active radar, cellular sensing and EO/IR technologies to detect and track threats, with non-kinetic defeat options including broadband and smart jamming and command-inject effects.
Multi-Sensor Detection: SkyValor combines complementary sensing technologies to address a wide range of drone threats. RF sensors provide 360-degree detection of control and data links, radar detects targets at long range, cellular sensing identifies 4G- and 5G-controlled drones, and EO/IR provides visual confirmation, automated recognition and classification.
BEAM 3.0: A rugged, backpackable, low-SWaP electronic attack system for detecting, identifying, locating and direction-finding small UAS and associated communications devices. BEAM can survey signals including drone control links, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mode-S/ADS-B, push-to-talk radios and analog or digital video.
Networked Electronic Attack: BEAM systems can operate independently or connect through a self-forming mesh network under the control of a single operator, extending detection and mitigation coverage in disconnected, degraded and bandwidth-limited environments.
Open, Software-Defined Architecture: CACI’s C-UxS technologies can exchange data with external sensors, command-and-control systems and kinetic effectors. Software updates enable new detection algorithms and defeat techniques to be introduced as drone threats evolve.
Designed for applications ranging from tactical operations to persistent protection of borders, installations and critical infrastructure, CACI’s counter-UAS portfolio combines automated threat detection with adaptable non-kinetic defeat capabilities. The company also provides training, maintenance and deployment support to help customers field and sustain C-UxS capabilities around the globe.
