Electro Optic Systems (EOS) says it has never lost any competitive drive in the history of the company. And probably that’s why the Australian firm is confident of winning the upcoming contracts from the US, Canada and at home for counter uncrewed aerial systems (CUAS).
“Wherever we are competing against other systems—on battlefield or at test ranges, we have succeeded. We have typically a higher performance or higher accuracy of 40 per cent better than the next best in terms of accuracy over long ranges,” a senior company official said.
EOS is hard selling its Titanis CUAS system to address the growing threat from malicious and threatening UAS. Based on the in-service R400 remote weapon station, Titanis is a fully integrated, scalable CUAS suite that combines the specific detection, command and control (C2), and layered hard and soft kill defeat capabilities necessary to acquire, track and defeat swarming UAS threats.
“Besides the US, Canada and Australia, who have down selected our system, several countries have declared interest in our CUAS. I would say the entire Middle East region, mainly the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and few countries in the Asia Pacific region. We are having advanced negotiations with four European countries including France and Germany, with whom we have collaborations.”
“Also, we have multiple opportunities in Ukraine, that we are discussing and negotiating at the moment. Most recently we secured an order for our new ultra-light R150 RWS product. An order of 14 gimbals was received in January 2023, as part of the L3Harris Vampire program, under which the US is providing support to Ukraine,” the official said.
The Titanis system allows operators to match kill solutions to large numbers and varying combinations of small and large drones to ensure that the threat can be mitigated regardless of their direction, numbers and capabilities while managing environmental, geographic, airspace and personnel safety considerations.
Remote Weapon Station
Demand for RWS continues to grow worldwide, as customers seek further network integration of their sensor-to-shooter assets and continuous improvements to the survivability of their soldiers. “The RWS is now viewed as a key lethality subsystem available to a force rather than simply as another platform accessory.
The EOS’ family of products is leading the way in defining these new market expectations,” the official said. One of the key differences between CUAS and other missions is the high angular speed that UAS can achieve at relatively short range. EOS RWS have been modified with a fourth-axis, independently slewing sensor unit that can move independently in azimuth to track fast-moving targets.
“Today, the original underlying premises for an RWS remain the same: keep the operator safe by having them seated and strapped into a protected or mine-resistant environment while delivering situational awareness, accurate fire support and area suppression,” the official said.
