New Unmanned Aircraft System and Ground Operator Detection,
Identification, and Tracking System With Mitigation Capability
Proprietary System Brings Safety to Protected Airspace and
High-Value Assets
CACI International Inc (NYSE
MKT: CACI) today announced the release of SkyTrackerTM, a
precision system to protect high-value assets and support public safety
against the escalating threat posed by the inadvertent or unlawful
misuse of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as aerial drones.
SkyTracker’s UAS detection, identification, and tracking system uses the
drone’s radio links to precisely identify and locate UAS flying in
banned or protected airspace, and has the unique capability to locate
UAS ground operators. This proprietary CACI technology has been
demonstrated to address a variety of UAS threat scenarios. The system is
widely applicable, from protecting airports to safeguarding critical
infrastructure or events – anywhere UAS pose a potential risk to people
or assets.
SkyTracker accurately detects, identifies, and tracks UAS threats. The
system’s mitigation capability provides responders with precise
information in a defined geographic location in order to initiate
countermeasures that, unlike other technologies, do not interfere with
legitimate electronics or communications systems in the area, or with
UAS that are being operated responsibly as determined by the U.S.
government.
The SkyTracker system design is modular and scalable for application in
different environments. It can protect high-value assets in
geographically compact locations such as government buildings,
embassies, and stadiums, as well as provide wide-area defense of
airports, military bases, and areas under temporary flight bans such as
locations experiencing forest fires. SkyTracker provides continuous,
automated monitoring, day or night, in any weather condition.
John
Mengucci, CACI’s Chief Operating Officer and President of U.S.
Operations, said, “CACI’s SkyTracker system provides our customers with
the unique capability to precisely locate unmanned aircraft systems and
their ground operators. Our system has been demonstrated to address a
variety of UAS threat scenarios. In addition to the protection of
airports, an effort undertaken in our recently announced research and
development agreement with the federal government, SkyTracker has broad
applications in the protection of critical infrastructure, stadiums,
events, or anywhere drones pose a potential risk to people or assets.”
According to CACI President and Chief Executive Officer Ken
Asbury, “CACI is proud to advance our SkyTracker solution to address
the rapidly escalating threat posed by the misuse of unmanned aircraft
systems. The development of innovative technological solutions in
response to complex security threats is in our DNA. We built SkyTracker
to address one of the most complex challenges facing those responsible
for protecting critical infrastructure.”
