Skyperion Lightweight has virtually all the same passive counter-uncrewed air systems (C-UAS) detect, track and identify (DTI) sensor capability as its operationally proven and highly respected big brother Skyperion Rugged, but has been re-engineered into a smaller weight and power (SWaP) format optimised for users requiring mobility, rapid deployment and on-the-move operation.

For the last 10 years, Metis has been at the forefront of passive C-UAS RF detection capability development, with Skyperion Rugged being the RF DTI capability integrated into the RAF’s ORCUS system and Leonardo’s Falcon Shield deployed with NATO allies, helping to safeguard their airspace, key installations and critical infrastructure against the threats posed by rogue drones.   The Skyperion product range captures RF emissions of varying strengths across the spectrum, filtering out background noise and known entities, before rapidly analysing them to identify and locate potential threats.
