Echodyne has been selected as the radar provider for the Australian Defence Force’s Project Land 156, the Australian government’s initiative to equip the ADF with continuous counter-drone capabilities.
Echodyne’s 4D metamaterials electronically scanned array (MESA) radars are suited to support counter-drone initiatives, locking optical sensors for “eyes on object” and reliable precision tracking for mitigation platforms and effectors. Based on the understanding that data fidelity is critical to counter-drone mission success, Echodyne radars generate highly accurate data for detecting, tracking, targeting, and mitigating drone intrusions.
Land 156 aims to modernize the ADF in the face of new technology and an evolving threat landscape. Echodyne will contribute radar expertise to the project and work alongside its newly announced systems integration team leader Leidos Australia, alongside Acacia Systems, L3Harris Technologies, Department 13, and EOS Australia, which already incorporates Echodyne radar into its Slinger RWS.
Eben Frankenberg, CEO of Echodyne, commented, “We are pleased to be selected as part of the Leidos Australia team for the Australian Defence Force counter-UAS project, Land 156. As C-UAS solutions become ever more critical to mission success and dismounted soldier safety, Echodyne’s COTS architecture allows us to quickly respond to increasing global demand for our advanced MESA radar systems.”
