Cerberus XL C-UAS features long-range thermal and visual imaging systems, 3D radar, and RF detection to locate and track drones, while integrating third-party non-kinetic effectors to neutralise threats at distances of up to three kilometres. The modular system can be rapidly deployed in air, ground, and maritime environments, offering multi-domain situational awareness for critical security challenges, including military protection, airports, seaports, and borders.
The platform has been designed to handle the complete counter-drone “kill chain,” seamlessly integrating with kinetic solutions and utilising AI-driven sensors to enhance target identification accuracy. A trailer-based, mobile platform, it can be deployed swiftly even in harsh conditions, making it ideal for a range of defence and civilian security applications.
Last year, FLIR Defense secured a USD 31 million contract with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace to deliver the Cerberus XL C-UAS to Ukrainian forces, where it has proven effective in operational settings. The system is now available for global shipping, alongside its ground surveillance variant, Cerberus XL.
Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne FLIR Defense, highlighted the system’s battlefield-tested capabilities: “Cerberus XL C-UAS is one of the most sophisticated counter-drone systems, offering a comprehensive solution that integrates with existing defence infrastructure.”
