RADAN

In scenarios of contested airspace, air- and space-borne surveillance, communication, and navigation capabilities are typically interrupted.

Although it is possible to re-establish these capabilities using UAVs, HAPs, or aerostats, these vehicles are vulnerable to interception by enemy counter-UAS technology in their deployment phase.

RADAN aims to solve this problem by cheaply and rapidly deploying these assets using rockets. This makes interception during the deployment phase very difficult. Once high operating altitudes are achieved, interception by counter-UAS technology is unfeasible.

RADAN features a modular payload adapter for aerostats and drones/gliders, and a rapid deployment system that can be operated in the frontlines by a squad. This provides a path to launch surveillance systems to acquire battlefield intelligence or relays for communication and GPS.

In addition to this, RADAN can be used in an offensive configuration, rapidly deploying the same assets or even ordnance behind enemy lines, while evading interception.
