The SAIC CaaS providing was one in every of solely three really helpful by the JCO after demonstrations have been held at Yuma Proving Floor in Arizona final month. Spyglass radar was included in SAIC’s demonstrated answer as a part of two Liteye Systems’ SHIELD™ C-sUAS platforms. Through the demonstration, Spyglass radar carried out long-range small unmanned plane programs (sUAS) detection and precision monitoring to assist menace mitigation by SHIELD’s directional RF defeat and the Aeroguard drone seize system.
