Modular Drone Detection Systems

Basilisk™

Tripod-mounted Basilisk™ passive counter-UAS sensor providing 360-degree electro-optical drone detection in an outdoor environment.

Basilisk is a passive electro-optical unmanned air system (UAS) detection and tracking device providing modular 360-degree coverage against individual UAS and multiple swarms in high clutter. Basilisk consists of a modular sensor head, ruggedized off-board processor, and commercial off-the-shelf hardware paired with advanced ML algorithms. Running multiple neural network classifiers results in enhanced detections and tracking with low false alarm rates and high detection confidence. Basilisk can be a stand-alone sensor or integrated with another CUAS solution.

  • Completely passive operations, undetectable
  • Simultaneous tracking and classification of hundreds of small UAS and swarm targets at 5km
  • Reliable detection and tracking in high clutter environments, requires 2 pixels per detection
  • Low Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C)
  • Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware for cost-effective scalability
  • Modular design supports many different deployment configurations and rapid setup
