USNORTHCOM demonstrates its anti-small unmanned aerial system (C-SUAS) platform at the “Falcon Peak 25.2” event Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. To conduct the demonstration, crew members fired a “hostile” drone from Santa Rosa Island, and then an interceptor drone captured it from a net fired by a shotgun.
Twenty anti-drone systems were tested a few days before the event began. Falcon Peak offers companies the opportunity to test their anti-number systems in real-world environments.

“You see a lot of drones flying over the ground with a messy ground, which makes it hard for radar to pick them up,” said Knut Moe, vice president of SquareHead Technology of Defense. “There is no such problem with acoustics.”
Once the acoustic system points out the location of the drone, the troops can shoot down on their own or use mitigation systems, such as the low-collateral effect of Fortem Technologies intercepting drones.
“[The drone] Fotem Technologies CEO Jon Gruen said.
However, Gruen’s C-Suas platform can detect, track and mitigate drones by itself. In some cases, Fortem Technologies’ Interceptor drone uses explosives to eliminate hostile drones.
