Revolutionizing Airspace Security: EOS Defense Systems USA Unveils Cutting-Edge Counter UAS Solutions
The advancing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) menace necessitates ongoing progression in counter UAS (CUAS) technologies to safeguard vital assets and formations. EOS Defense Systems USA today declared that it is enhancing its Slinger Remote Weapon System (RWS), integrating features such as Assisted Target Recognition and variable levels of autonomy to tackle the increasing threat posed by adversarial drones.
“Slinger stands as the most precise remote weapon system available, and these enhancements will dramatically bolster the CUAS mission by alleviating operator workload through assisted detection, classification, and neutralization of drone threats,” stated Shawn Baerlocher, CEO of EOS Defense Systems USA. “The RWS can function in a ‘stand-alone’ mode, utilizing solely its inherent, passive sensors or receive an external prompt from a remote sensor. Either operation enables proficient implementation of platform self-defense. The inclusion of an automation package facilitates drone neutralization with minimized strain on the warfighter.
EOS Defense Systems USA will also initiate production of Slinger at our Huntsville, Alabama facility to address the rising demand from U.S. government clients.”
EOS has executed numerous Slinger field evaluations and showcased remarkable PKill rates against drone threats in operationally pertinent environments, including maneuvering Group 1 UAS. EOS envisions Slingers outfitted with these advanced capabilities deployed across various platforms as an integral component of a layered defense framework against UAS perils.
By merging established precision accuracy with cost-effective kinetic solutions and customizable autonomy, Slinger provides an exceptionally effective and adaptable answer for shielding mobile platforms on the contemporary battlefield to bridge capability gaps across the Domain of Warfare (DoW).
EOS Remote Weapon Systems are operationally validated and utilized by armed forces across Australia, the Middle East, North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Famed for their precision and dependability, EOS has delivered over 2,500 systems globally. EOS Defense Systems USA has functioned as the company’s regional center since 2018.
