With over 2,000 units already deployed worldwide, the DTIM Kit provides immediate benefits to both existing and future counter-drone defence systems. As the demand for Counter-sUAS (C-sUAS) solutions grows, the U.S. Army has emphasised the importance of a soldier-level system that enhances situational awareness and offers effective protection against hostile drones.
The Dronebuster DTIM Kit is the only American-made, electronic attack C-sUAS system available with an optional Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capability. This feature enables it to combat GNSS-enabled drones, providing frontline personnel with an advanced and adaptable defence tool in a lightweight, easily portable form.
The kit includes two core components: the Dronebuster mitigation system and the Dronebuster DTI system. The Dronebuster mitigation system neutralises drone threats and is available in two variants: the Dronebuster 4 and Dronebuster 4-EU, with the latter offering additional jamming capabilities for European frequency bands. Both versions include an optional PNT attack capability to counter autonomous drones.
The Dronebuster DTI system enhances detection, tracking, and identification capabilities, offering an intuitive user interface integrated with a Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) display. Equipped with a built-in GPS and support for external accessories such as headsets, the system ensures seamless operation in various combat environments.
Key features of the DTIM Kit include detection capabilities using an omnidirectional antenna system, identifying drones from distances of up to seven kilometres across a broad frequency range. Unlike competing systems with directional antennas, the DTIM Kit provides real-time haptic, aural, and visual feedback, enhancing mobility and efficiency on the battlefield.
Tracking capabilities are strengthened through Remote ID and AeroScope technology, allowing operators to pinpoint drone locations accurately. The system employs RF direction-finding technology to provide precise bearings without requiring a full 360-degree rotation. This information is displayed on a TAK device or the built-in LCD screen, enabling soldiers to make rapid and informed tactical decisions.
The identification function leverages a regularly updated drone library and AI/ML-powered algorithms, allowing operators to quickly and accurately recognise threats. The mitigation capability is reinforced by the proven Dronebuster system, offering the only handheld device with PNT attack mode (spoofing) to counter autonomous drones effectively.
The DTIM Kit is designed to provide an all-encompassing solution for individual operators to detect, track, identify, and neutralise drone threats. It ensures that soldiers remain aware of incoming threats and are equipped to take decisive action to protect themselves and their units.
Unlike bulkier counter-drone systems, the Dronebuster DTIM Kit delivers superior performance in a compact, wearable design. It meets the evolving global requirements for C-sUAS, serving multiple defence applications, including facility and convoy protection, VIP security, and critical infrastructure defence.
Matthew McCue, CEO of DZYNE Technologies, described the DTIM Kit as a significant advancement in C-sUAS technology. “It’s not just a detection system; it’s a full-spectrum solution that empowers operators to neutralise threats in real time, ensuring battlefield superiority in an era where drones pose an ever-growing risk,” he said.
DZYNE Technologies is a high-growth company specialising in autonomous defence solutions for airborne and ground-based operations. With multiple U.S. Government Programs of Record across UAS and C-sUAS technologies, the company continues to support U.S. and allied military forces worldwide.
