The Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator will work with industry to prove up and potentially acquire sovereign technologies that can protect against drone swarm attacks as part of its latest innovation mission.
As Defence considers its options for a suite of Counter-Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (CsUAS) capabilities, the accelerator has kicked off ‘Mission Syracuse’, a complementary program of work to develop nascent counter-drone technologies over the next two years.
Technologies include non-lethal drone countermeasures such as directed energy weapons like high energy laser systems and electronic attack systems, as well as other “kinetic effectors”.
