CERBAIR press release
CERBAIR, a specialist in anti-drone defense, will supply a navalized version of its radio frequency detection system for the seven new offshore patrol vessels ordered by the Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) in 2023 for the French Navy. This project aims to enhance the protection of these vessels against drone threats.
“This is the culmination of several years of successful collaboration with the French Navy, followed by work with Naval Group and shipyards CMN, Piriou, and Socarenam.”
Charlie Pinedo, COO of CERBAIR
With advanced radio frequency spectrum analysis, the HYDRA system detects both drones and their pilots, enabling units to perceive the presence or approach of a threat and respond accordingly. Its innovative modular architecture allows the sensors to be easily integrated into new vessels or retrofitted onto older ships.
This scalable direction-finding system, equipped with CERBAIR’s signal processing algorithms, is passive and undetectable, offering discreet and effective protection. It will play a key role in the self-defense capabilities of the offshore patrol vessels.
“This contract marks a major milestone for CERBAIR in our commitment to providing onboard solutions that are ever more adapted to the operational needs of the French armed forces and their allies.”
Brian Girard, CERBAIR’s VP of Sales
