L3Harris is not just the leader in creating unmanned autonomous systems. We also offer a variety of effective solutions to defeat unmanned threats in any domain – whether on land, at sea or in the air. Leveraging decades of experience across our enterprise, we innately understand the proliferation of commercial technology is being used in small drone attacks. Our c-UxS products have been effectively proven in combat, reducing the reducing the cost curve while providing our forces with the speed, reliability and flexibility to defeat these growing and constantly evolving threats.
Why VAMPIRE?
Designed for defense and counter-UAS operations, VAMPIRE complements the low-cost, low-signature and availability of common non-tactical vehicles (NTVs) and fits in any pickup or vehicle with a cargo bed. Installation can be completed in approximately two hours by two people using common tools. The system can be configured to meet customer-specific requirements with everything housed on the pallet, including a power supply that eliminates the need for a 24-volt alternator on the vehicle. The WESCAM MX-10D RSTA independent stabilized sighting system provides ISR overmatch and can be equipped with Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) or other laser-guided munitions.
Sensor Systems and Software
The WESCAM MX™-Series EO/IR Sensor Systems from L3Harris offer advanced capabilities that can be integrated across multiple platforms, providing versatile and mission-ready solutions for defense and NATO country partnerships. One such solution is the VAMPIRE system, which exemplifies our commitment to enhancing counter-UAS capabilities. By leveraging these cutting-edge technologies, L3Harris supports the strategic objectives of defense and security, fostering stronger collaborations among NATO allies to address emerging threats effectively.
Multi-Domain Command and Control for Collaborative Autonomy at Scale
AMORPHOUS™ is designed to seamlessly command and control a vast array of autonomous assets, from small fleets to large-scale operations, using a “system of systems” approach. However, this capability also introduces several c-UxS challenges and defense considerations.
A key c-UxS challenge is managing and coordinating diverse unmanned platforms at scale. While AMORPHOUS can operate thousands of autonomous assets simultaneously, it demands robust cybersecurity to prevent cyber-attacks and ensure secure communications. The integration of various platforms requires advanced algorithms to avoid collisions and ensure mission success. Effective defense strategies must also include redundancy and fail-safe mechanisms to address potential system failures.
