Description
Description | The Golden Shield system is a layered defense system integrating advanced sensors, kinetic and non-kinetic effectors, and command-and-control systems to create an autonomous cohesive defense against small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). It links sensors and weapons on tactical vehicles to automatically detect, track, and engage threats, significantly shortening the sensor-to-shooter timeline and reducing cognitive load on soldiers. The system is built on a scalable, open architecture allowing rapid integration of new technologies and is designed to protect armored vehicles and their crews on the battlefield. |
