Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies, has received an order from AeroVironment to deliver its Argus XL counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) platform. The Argus XL will be part of AeroVironment’s Titan Multi-Sensor (MS) C-UAS for the U.S. Air Force.
The orders are being executed under AV’s three-year, $500 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) sole-source contract supporting Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) 401’s Domestic Shield Program.
JIATF-401 selected the Titan MS system to provide layered counter-UAS protection for domestic installations and critical infrastructure.
The Argus XL provides the radar, visible and thermal imaging sensors, and command-and-control software that serve as core detection capabilities within the Titan MS architecture.
Argus XL C-UAS is a fixed-site, multi-sensor platform designed to detect and track multiple aerial threats, near and far, around the clock, and in demanding weather conditions. The system integrates advanced radar, electro-optical and infrared cameras, and command-and-control software to deliver situational awareness, sensor integration, and data archiving.
Argus XL also supports integration with third-party radio-frequency sensors and defeat technologies, helping provide hemispherical detection of aerial targets, including small and micro drones.
