Shield AI said L3Harris Technologies has licensed its Tracker counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) software for integration with the VAMPIRE counter-UAS platform.
Tracker C-UAS uses AI and computer vision to detect, discriminate and track drones in electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) video. The software provides passive detection without relying on radar or RF emissions.
The integration will give VAMPIRE AI-based drone detection and tracking alongside its existing precision-engagement capabilities. Shield AI said it is also making Tracker C-UAS available for licensing across other platforms.
The companies previously demonstrated an integration of Tracker C-UAS with L3Harris’ WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR sensors to detect multiple classes of UAS.
L3Harris said VAMPIRE systems have logged more than 350,000 operational hours since 2023 and have shot down hundreds of hostile drones in combat, primarily in support of European operations.
