Detect. Disrupt. Destroy. Protect every domain.

As drones evolve, so does the need to defend against them. Across air, land, and sea, militaries are developing systems — from radar and sensors to electronic warfare and kinetic defenses — to reclaim control and stay one step ahead of uncrewed threats.

Detecting an incoming drone swarm and determining where it is headed depends on having sufficient sensing capabilities, which Jarrard identified as one of the commands’ primary challenges.

Pentagon Unveils Improved Digital Shop for Counter-Drone Systems

The Joint C-sUAS (Counter small Unmanned Aircraft System) University (JCU) at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, kicked off this week with its inaugural two-week C-sUAS Operators Course. Over 20 students, including Soldiers from the US Army, US Air Force, and US Navy participated in the MOS agnostic, Non-Branch/Service specific course. The C-sUAS Operators Course focuses on the operations of the Joint C-sUAS Office (JCO) evaluated C-sUAS systems which includes the Drone Buster (pictured). "The establishment of the Joint C-sUAS University and its mission will prepare Soldiers and leaders, improve readiness, and aid in modernizing the force of 2030 to prepare for Large Scale Combat Operations," said Lt. Col. Moseph Sauda, Joint C-sUAS University Director. Upon completion, operators will deter the UAS threat via passive air defense measures; detect the UAS threat via visual/audible identification and C-sUAS equipment sets; report UAS threats via applicable policies and procedures; and defeat the UAS threat via kinetic and non-kinetic means. The course ends with a culminating training exercise and is set to graduate at the end of October.

Through the portal, authorized buyers can search for systems based on operational needs, review verified performance data, and buy approved hardware ranging from jammers to kinetic interceptors.
