In this context, the interest of the expert audience quickly focused on AARTOS DDS. The system can be modularly adapted to a wide range of requirements and is currently the most powerful on the market.
With AARTOS DDS, AARONIA AG offers particularly flexible, customizable solutions for all requirements and budgets. From the portable X2 and X5 versions for limited applications to the high-end X7 and X9 solutions for particularly demanding military use. At this year's DSEI, hundreds of trade visitors came to the AARONIA booth each day to see it for themselves. In the area of detection, the focus was primarily on the mobile X2 solution and the high-end X9 solution. Regarding drone defense, the AARTOS 360° programmable intelligent jammer was the center of attention.
In its version specifically designed for military requirements, the AARTOS X2 is characterized by its compact form factor and rapid operational readiness. In an emergency, it can be deployed in less than 30 seconds. With a standard range of up to five kilometers, the AARTOS X2 is capable of both decoding drone protocols and determining their location in real time. When used in stationary mode, the range can be extended to 40 kilometers. It also has the ability to record and play back data, making it ideal for protecting mobile units from drone threats. The AARTOS X9
is the most powerful drone detection system in the AARTOS series. It provides gapless, ultra-wideband surveillance with more than four independent receivers and an optimized amplifier group. The AARTOS X9 scans the entire frequency range more than 1,000 times per second. With a base range of up to 14 kilometers, it is perfect for monitoring large areas. By scaling multiple AARTOS X9 systems, the range can be extended to 50 kilometers if required. Of particular interest for military use is that the AARTOS X9 can be fully integrated into a vehicle, providing a military-grade shelter solution for mobile operations. The Shelter version is equipped to operate autonomously for up to three months.
In both versions, AARTOS offers several unique and decisive advantages compared to competing systems. For example, the system not only determines the position and speed of drones but also their altitude. It guarantees high-speed localization of drone activity. To achieve this, it scans the entire frequency spectrum, including simultaneous scans of different frequencies, enabling it to locate all drones using radio signals. AARTOS provides real-time positioning of both the drone and the operator. The proprietary AARONIA RTSA-Suite PRO software solution plays a fundamental role in this process. The powerful real-time spectral analysis software allows for the integration of a wide variety of hardware components for evaluation, thus ensuring simple, efficient, and optimal use of the respective system.
“The numerous conversations we’ve had with experts from various branches of the armed forces demonstrate that AARTOS can make a decisive contribution to the integration of these forces,” says Thorsten Chmielus, CEO and founder of AARONIA AG. “The flexibility, power, and precision of our system, combined with its ease of use and rapid learning curve, are exactly what military experts in the DSEI (Department of Defense Intelligence) are looking for when it comes to drone detection and defense.” It
is therefore no surprise that the drone defense industry has shown explicit interest in the AARTOS 360° Smart Jammer. This programmable smart jammer boasts an exceptionally long range of up to 10 kilometers. Furthermore, it allows for the simple, real-time, drag-and-drop adjustment or complete, individual programming of any frequency range from 400 MHz to 6 GHz. It covers all drones within this frequency range and can automatically or specifically target them, as determined by the operator.
"With the programmable interferer, we are once again underscoring our leadership in innovation when it comes to offering effective, flexible, and exceptionally powerful solutions to our customers," explains Thorsten Chmielus, regarding the rapidly growing demand for AARTOS systems. "We are proud to be able to offer our customers comprehensive, state-of-the-art solutions unlike any other on the market."
