Repeated drone incidents over European cities, energy facilities, and airports underscore the growing vulnerability of civilian critical infrastructure. Non-cooperative UAVs in particular – operating with high agility and an expanding range of RF signatures – are presenting security agencies with increasingly complex challenges. Against this backdrop, interest among Milipol attendees in Aaronia’s AARTOS system is substantial. AARTOS combines detection, localization, and electronic countermeasures within a single modular platform.
Mission-Specific Solutions for Any Operational Requirement
AARTOS covers the full spectrum of scalable C-UAS applications – from the ultra-mobile X2 for temporary deployments and rapid ad-hoc reconnaissance to the high-performance X9, which delivers reliable results even in dense RF environments thanks to broadband receivers, sectorized antenna technology, wide dynamic ranges, and precise angle-of-arrival measurement. All variants support a unified sensor-fusion architecture combining RF detection with optional radar and EO/IR optics, providing a consistent operational picture, including altitude information. The RTSA Suite PRO processes spectrum data in real time, identifies protocols, classifies signals, and visualizes threats without latency.
Integrated Detection and Mitigation
Beyond drone detection, electronic warfare capabilities are becoming increasingly critical, especially for the protection of major events and high-security facilities. AARTOS’ programmable 360° smart jammer enables targeted disruption of specific frequency segments or defined sectors – not only for UAV neutralization but also for suppressing unauthorized transmissions, countering malicious RF activity, or securing sensitive communication channels. With its combination of broadband receivers, high sampling rates, and adaptive jamming waveform generation, AARTOS is suited for both advanced EW situational awareness and operational protective measures in dense urban environments.
Feedback from the Milipol exhibition, which concludes tomorrow in Paris, has been correspondingly strong. Government, military, and industry professionals have been particularly impressed by the platform’s technical depth and modularity, combined with the capabilities of Aaronia’s RTSA Suite PRO software.
“The show has already been a major success for us. Demand for integrated C-UAS and EW solutions continues to rise. AARTOS aligns precisely with the need for scalable, high-precision systems,” says Stephan Kraschansky, Chief Defense & Government Solutions Officer, Aaronia AG. “We are proud to contribute to the protection of critical infrastructure in Europe and around the world with our technology.”
