JEY-CUAS (Joint European sYstem for Countering Unmanned Air Systems)

Description of the project

Project whose objective will be to achieve the CDR (Critical Design Review) of the future European anti-drone system which, in addition to focusing on the specification of the operational concept, specification of system requirements and definition of the overall architecture, will devote efforts to the development of anti-drone technologies from both the sensor and countermeasure sides, considering different levels of maturity, concluding with a partial demonstration phase, including different technology demonstrators in representative scenarios (currently under discussion at consortium level).

Industrial partners

Indra's rol

The project will focus much of its efforts on the definition of the operational concept (led by Indra), requirements specification and architecture (led by Leonardo and Thales). In addition, it will have several lines of action focused on new sensing and countermeasure technologies covering TRLs 3-7, with a final phase of partial demonstrations.

Universities and Technology Centers

Technologies employed

As an anti-drone system, it concentrates different sensing technologies (radar, RF sensors, infrared cameras, etc.) as well as countermeasures (jamming, directed energy, hunting drone, etc.). As a whole, the proposal will also address aspects from a design perspective such as data fusion, interoperability, interfaces with other systems, etc.
