Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems

The threat is airborne.
The answer is unseen.

Velatus builds layered counter-UAS defense — passive and active countermeasures that detect, track, identify, and defeat hostile unmanned systems before they reach the people they target.

The Threat Environment

Small drones changed the battlefield. Defenses haven't caught up.

Inexpensive unmanned aircraft now deliver surveillance, electronic attack, and lethal payloads at a fraction of the cost of the systems they threaten. From fixed installations to dismounted soldiers, every echelon is exposed — and traditional air defense was never designed for targets this small, this cheap, or this numerous.

Doctrine

Detect. Track. Identify. Defeat.

No single sensor or effector stops the modern UAS threat. Velatus integrates the kill chain into one layered architecture, so each ring of the defense buys time, information, and options for the next.

Our Approach
DETECT TRACK IDENTIFY DEFEAT PROTECTED

Built for

Program offices, primes, and operational units that need counter-UAS capability fielded — not promised.

Designed by

Engineers and operators with backgrounds across air defense, electronic warfare, and dismounted operations.

Integrated with

Open architectures and existing command-and-control — augmenting the systems you already field.

Disciplined by

Operational security. We publish what helps our customers evaluate us, and nothing that helps the threat.
