Testing Our Counter-UAS Remote Controlled Weapon Stations
AIA engineers are testing, tracking and further developing remotely controlled weapon-station configurations designed to support the detection, tracking and engagement of unmanned aerial threats.
Engineering Through Continuous Testing
Our engineering team in Tilburg is conducting ongoing tests with an AIA Counter-UAS Remote Controlled Weapon Station. The work forms part of a continuous development process focused on system integration, tracking performance and controlled weapon operation.
Counter-UAS requirements continue to develop as unmanned aerial systems become more widely available and increasingly diverse. Effective protection therefore requires an integrated approach combining detection, identification, tracking, fire control and a mission-appropriate effector.
Testing allows the complete configuration to be assessed under controlled conditions and provides the engineering data required for further system development, integration and qualification.
Integrated Counter-UAS Testing
Detection Interface
Assessment of system interfaces with compatible detection and surveillance sensors.
Target Tracking
Evaluation of tracking behaviour against representative unmanned aerial targets.
Fire Control
Integration of stabilisation, ballistic computation and controlled weapon operation.
System Development
Collection of engineering data for continued configuration development and qualification.
From Detection to Controlled Engagement
Detect
Compatible sensors establish awareness of potential unmanned aerial threats.
Track
The system maintains target information for classification and fire-control support.
Decide
The authorised operator evaluates the situation and retains control over engagement decisions.
Engage
A qualified effector can be selected according to the approved configuration and operational requirement.
Built, Tested and Further Developed by Dutch Engineers
The test programme reflects AIA’s focus on practical engineering and the development of systems that can be configured around real operational requirements.
Final performance, configuration, sensor compatibility, weapon integration and delivery schedules remain dependent on the selected programme, engineering assessment, qualification requirements and applicable governmental approvals.
