Thales and Autonomous Devices to create naval electronic warfare drone
Thales, in partnership with UK-based Autonomous Devices, is developing a drone-based electronic warfare solution, the EW-UAS1, aimed at enhancing naval and land forces’ capabilities. This system integrates Thales’ electronic warfare payloads with a next-generation drone, focusing on high maneuverability and endurance to detect threats and deploy countermeasures. The collaboration promises a technological leap in electronic warfare, providing critical protection for strategic assets against modern threats through capabilities like jamming and radar deception. This advancement not only positions the partners at the forefront of electronic warfare technology but also underscores the growing importance of such systems in modern military operations.
