- BLACKTALON Ecosystem is one of the most comprehensive, configurable counter‑UxS systems available today, integrating with multiple vendor-agnostic sensors and effectors.
- To be shown at the World Defense Show, highlighting how it can respond to increasingly complex threats across land, sea and air.
5th February 2026: Radio Frequency (RF) specialist, Enterprise Control Systems (ECS), will showcase its BLACKTALON Ecosystem at the World Defense Show (8-12 February 2026, stand H1-E33). The open-architecture counter-UxS system can enable defense and security teams to respond to increasingly complex surface, sub-surface, and above-surface threats across the Middle East.
Designed as a fully configurable, multi-vendor ecosystem, BLACKTALON Ecosystem combines ECS’s operationally proven BLACKTALON counter-UxS capability with a broad network of sensor and effector partners.
To meet evolving threats, operational concepts and budgetary requirements, operators can integrate and adapt multiple technologies, including radar, EO/IR, passive RF, acoustic sensing and electronic attack, without redesigning the entire system. For example, sonar sensors can be easily integrated for use in shallow-water ports or coastal patrols, or added kinetic systems to kill drone threats.
BLACKTALON Ecosystem’s flexibility is particularly relevant in the Middle East, where there are growing risks to critical national infrastructure, air bases, airports, and strategic sites, including oil and gas facilities. Air base approach paths, low-altitude airspace, and dispersed assets pose challenges that require layered detection, tracking, and defeat capabilities rather than single-vendor solutions.
Graeme Forsyth, counter-UxS Product Manager at ECS, says: “No single provider can own every technology needed to counter today’s UxS threats. BLACKTALON Ecosystem allows operators to integrate best-in-class capabilities, evolve their systems over time and avoid being locked into fixed architectures as threats change.”
“There is fast-growing demand across the Middle East for electronic warfare and counter-UxS capabilities as teams move beyond detection to active defense,” said Mohammed Al Ibrahim, Chairman at DEMCO. “Interoperable systems that can integrate multiple sensors and effectors are becoming essential for protecting air bases, critical infrastructure and national assets against rapidly evolving drone threats.”
At World Defense Show, ECS will showcase a representative BLACKTALON Ecosystem configuration, ECS’s Claw jammer and TCI’s passive RFDF capabilities, including the 953 RF COMINT receiver.
