The LIDS technology is designed to detect, track, identify and defeat unmanned aircraft systems, which are increasingly present in modern conflict zones. As part of this agreement, SRC will provide international buyers with detection tools and robust electronic warfare capabilities for the first time.
These technologies offer layered defence at fixed-site locations and deliver real-time situational awareness and threat response. Their inclusion in the agreement reflects global urgency to counter the growing threat of unmanned systems to infrastructure and defence operations.
“We’re proud that our proven systems will be deployed internationally to secure critical airspace, defend warfighters and protect high-value infrastructure,” said Kevin Hair, president and CEO of SRC. “In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, advanced sensing and electronic warfare capabilities are essential.”
LIDS enables rapid detection and engagement of UAS while limiting collateral damage to minimise risk to friendly forces and nearby infrastructure. Its system-of-systems design supports swift integration of new sensors and effectors, ensuring adaptability to future threats and mission needs.
With a modular design suited for both fixed and mobile deployments, LIDS provides commanders with tactical flexibility across a range of scenarios. SRC remains committed to advancing and internationally deploying technologies that enhance warfighter protection and bolster global defence readiness.
