Make the camp drone-safe

HENSOLDT is supplying the following Xpeller module package for a total of five drone defense systems as part of the GUARDION overall system from ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH and their partners: three Spexer 2000 3D radars and a Z:NightOwl M camera. They are being used as part of container-based drone defense systems to protect so-called Forward Operating Bases of the Bundeswehr in their operational areas.

"We are supporting the Bundeswehr in close cooperation with ESG as the main contractor and system integrator," explains Markus Wolf, Head of Sales and Business Development at HENSOLDT Ventures. "Our high-performance sensors complement the ESG GUARDION system precisely to achieve the required performance spectrum." The Spexer2000 3D radar is distinguished by its excellent detection capabilities, especially against asymmetric threats. The Z:NightOwl M camera was specifically developed for long ranges. "This supports drone defense against so-called Class I drones, unmanned aircraft weighing up to 25 kg."

HENSOLDT has already demonstrated its extensive experience in drone defense with its Counter-UAV system Xpeller. In addition to permanent deployment, customers also use the system for temporary security at large events, most recently during the Remembrance Day in the Netherlands in Amsterdam in May 2020. Xpeller is particularly characterized by its modularity and scalability. The system can be tailored precisely to customer requirements as a result.
