captus c-uas

Counter-UAS AI that finds drones sooner and holds the track

SEE IT IN ACTION

Persistent perception for the C-UAS mission

Watch Captus C-UAS detect, track, and reacquire small drones in real-world conditions.

captus c-uas

Drone tracking for the C-UAS stack you already run.

Small drones fly fast, show up as a few pixels, and vanish into clutter. Captus C-UAS adds detection and tracking built for small drones to the C-UAS systems already in the field. It runs at the tactical edge, on the small, low-power compute already in your system, with no cloud link and no extra compute payload. It works with your EO/IR sensors, holds the track through motion and occlusion, and cues your existing systems without replacing sensors, compute, or platforms.

WHAT IT ENABLES

One operator, multiple threats

Captus C-UAS keeps a separate track and ID for each drone in the scene, so operators know where every threat is without reacquiring each one by hand.

Full capability without the network

Detection and tracking run on low SWaP edge compute, so capability persists through jamming, degraded links, and lost comms.

Respond as the threat changes

Cue a new or unknown drone from a single look, a detector, or a handoff from another sensor. Captus C-UAS picks up the new threat on the spot instead of waiting on a new model.

THE C-UAS CHALLENGE

Persistent perception for a changing threat environment

the problem

Drone detection and tracking has to keep up with the threat

Small drones fly fast, show up at low pixel counts, and disappear behind terrain, buildings, trees, and clutter. Detectors miss threats they haven’t seen before. Conventional trackers drop the drone when it changes shape in frame or leaves the view.

When the track drops, the operator starts the search over, while the drone keeps flying.

the solution

Persistent perception, built for the edge

Captus C-UAS sits between your sensors and your C2. It detects small drones in EO/IR video, holds the track through motion and occlusion, and feeds structured tracks to your command-and-control system and to the effectors that defeat the drone.

Find: detection built for small drones, day and night, across visible and thermal cameras.
Hold: keeps the track as the drone maneuvers, shrinks to a few pixels, or passes behind cover.
Reacquire: picks the same drone back up after full occlusion.
Cue: slews PTZ cameras and feeds tracks to C2 and effectors.

the technology

Powered by the Captus Perception tracking core

Detecting a drone is only the start. Captus C-UAS lets operators cue a target by selecting it, using a detection model, describing it, uploading a photo, or leveraging an existing detector. It then maintains persistent tracking through motion and occlusion, all on small, low-power edge hardware. Your C-UAS stack gets persistent target information it can act on, not a detection that disappears when the drone does.
