Border Watch

Radar & EO/IR-based threat detection & counter-UAS solution 

Border Watch is an advanced threat detection system that uses single or multiple networkable Automated Sensor Points (ASPs) with radar for identification of potential intruders at distances of up to 10km away, as well as high-definition EO/IR cameras for more detailed identification at closer ranges. Once alerted, remote operations can control cameras to mark and track threats in real time.

Border Watch ASPs can be powered by solar panels are well as other energy sources, and are armored for protection against small arms fire and fragmentation from nearby grenade and mortar explosions.

Tactical UAVs

We have developed a range of versatile UAV platforms designed for long-endurance ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) and cargo delivery missions. Featuring modular airframes, these unmanned aircraft are highly customizable, making them ideal for OEMs and systems integrators, and can be stored and transported in convenient carrying cases for maximum portability.

Most models can be fitted with electric, engine or hybrid propulsion options to suit a range of operational requirements. A wide range of field-swappable sensors and payloads are available, including:

• 4K HD cameras, IR thermal imagers and combined sensors
• LiDAR scanners
• Ground-penetrating radar
• UXO (unexploded ordnance) detectors

Cannon is also highly experienced in payload and avionics integration, and can tailor bespoke UAV solutions to your exact requirements, including full GCS (ground control station) setups with live video and sensor feeds, data storage capabilities, and backup power.
