Halo_Shield™

Distributed, Layered, Autonomous Defense

Secure Every Vector. Dominate Every Threat.

Halo_Shield is a modular, distributed system designed for counter-unmanned aircraft system (CUAS) defense, providing vital situational awareness and rapid response in environments threatened by drone swarms, advanced UAS, and subsonic cruise missiles. It serves both expeditionary units and those safeguarding critical infrastructure, functioning autonomously to minimize personnel burden while maximizing operational resilience.

Halo_Shield is a demonstrated, scalable, CUAS Mission Orchestration layer for distributed sensors and effectors to deter and defend against complex threat scenarios, including UAS swarms. Its unparalleled combination of flexibility, survivability, and rapid deployment serves as a real-world force multiplier for modern multi-domain defense needs.

Key Features

Multi-Layered, Multi-Domain Protection

Halo_Shield offers direct support to C-UAS defense by integrating:

  • Effective point defense systems – such as those offered by AV’s LOCUST® DE and Titan® RF C-UAS capabilities, and other OEM systems.
  • Extended area deployment of affordable passive sensors and low collateral effects, on land or water or air.

Accelerated Kill Chain Response

The system’s AI-driven C2 software automates detection, classification, and effector response, turning “unseen” activity into actionable alerts and actions. This rapid, autonomous kill chain means threats are engaged swiftly and decisively, minimizing risk to protected assets and maximizing survivability.

Autonomous Defense, Anywhere

Halo_Shield connects seamlessly into existing defense architectures, augmenting legacy systems and leveraging autonomous workflows to enhance overall situational intelligence. This architecture extends the capabilities of current assets, reduces gaps in coverage, and maximizes the potential of human operators.

Force Multiplier for Point Defense Integration

Halo_Shield’s modular, distributed architecture empowers forces to deploy layered CUAS defense rapidly. It features:

  • A mission planner to enable the optimum emplacement of sensors and effectors.
  • Real-time weapons pairing and scheduling  to autonomously optimize weapons effects on threats.
  • Interoperability with upper echelon command and control (C2) systems – such as ABMS, CBC2, Medusa, IBCS-M.
