Drones are no longer just a battlefield concern, they’re becoming a serious threat to national security, critical infrastructure, and public safety across civilian environments. At SPX Communication Technologies, we are at the forefront of delivering proven, real-world Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solutions that are now more essential than ever.

Rising Drone Threats Across Europe and Beyond

Over the past year, Europe has witnessed a dramatic rise in drone incursions – from military surveillance over RAF bases in the UK, to air traffic disruption at Sofia International Airport, to high-profile breaches at mass events like the Six Nations rugby match at Twickenham.

The use of UAS for espionage, sabotage, and disruption is increasing. Drones have been sighted near critical national infrastructure, including energy sites, nuclear facilities, and transportation networks. The threat is real, persistent, and growing, demanding a response far beyond traditional military applications.

A New Era for Counter-UAS Technology

The scale of this challenge is driving an unprecedented demand for C-UAS solutions, with SPX Communication Technologies experiencing an 80% increase in enquiries across Europe alone.

Governments and defence organisations are now prioritising investments in radio frequency (RF) detection and jamming systems. In response, legislative frameworks are evolving rapidly – from Romania’s shoot-down laws to Poland’s enhanced permissions for drone neutralisation. These legal changes are unlocking more flexible and decentralised defence strategies.

BLACKTALON: Next-Generation C-UAS Technology

At the core of SPX Communication Technologies’ offering is the  BLACKTALON Ecosystem, a cutting-edge solution that combines advanced RF detection, geolocation, and precision jamming. Built on a legacy of proven performance and deep RF expertise, BLACKTALON offers a mission-critical capability for defence, law enforcement, and infrastructure security.

Its capabilities include:

• Multi-frequency RF jamming across GNSS, command, control, and telemetry signals
• Long-range directional jamming beyond 10 km
• Flexible deployment across fixed, mobile, and temporary positions
• Interoperability with existing defence systems via a vendor-agnostic framework

BLACKTALON forms the backbone of many leading global C-UAS platforms, including its integration with NATO and coalition forces. It’s not just theoretical, BLACKTALON has been battle-tested, from the Battle of Mosul to Gatwick Airport.

The Power of CLAW RF Inhibitor

Our CLAW RF Inhibitor is another flagship technology. Compact, secure, and capable of more than 2,000 confirmed drone defeats, CLAW is the trusted choice for mobile, rapid-response C-UAS deployment.

It offers:

• Layered RF inhibition disrupting control, navigation, and telemetry
• Self-contained, interference-resistant operation
• High agility and spectral purity to counter increasingly complex drone protocols

With flexible mounting options and long-range precision, CLAW delivers unmatched performance in live conflict zones and domestic protection scenarios.

Spectrum Intelligence = Operational Confidence

SPX Communication Technologies brings more than 35 years of RF spectrum monitoring and intelligence expertise. This enables our systems to not only detect and neutralize threats but also adapt in real-time to changing RF environments – an essential capability in today’s high-speed, high-mobility drone threat landscape.

Future-Proofing C-UAS Defence

As the global threat environment continues to evolve, SPX Communication Technologies is investing in next-generation enhancements for RF jamming and detection. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve, offering modular, scalable solutions to meet every Concept of Operations (CONOPS), whether for defence, homeland security, or civilian infrastructure protection.

Secure Your Airspace with Proven Counter-Drone Solutions

From military airfields to mass gatherings, energy infrastructure to urban centres – the drone threat is no longer a future risk. It’s here, now.

SPX Communication Technologies is your trusted partner in delivering reliable, scalable, and adaptable Counter-UAS solutions. With decades of RF expertise, battle-proven technology, and a global reputation for innovation, we help secure your skies – wherever the front line may be.

As modern battlefields evolve, the proliferation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has introduced new challenges across military, border security, and critical infrastructure environments.

At SPX Communication Technologies, we address this threat with a cutting-edge, layered Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) strategy that ensures battlespace superiority – powered by the BLACKTALON Ecosystem.

Softkill vs. Hardkill: Why Both Matter in C-UAS Defense:

In the complex domain of UAS threat mitigation, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. While hardkill solutions (e.g., kinetic interceptors and gun systems) offer physical takedown capabilities, they often face limitations in accuracy, range, and deployment conditions. This is where softkill solutions play a vital role – especially in directional jamming.

Directional jamming is not only cost-effective but also capable of engaging threats at significant distances, giving operators critical time to react and respond. When paired with hardkill systems, it forms a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy.

SPX Communication Technologies’ BLACKTALON Ecosystem excels at delivering multi-layered softkill capabilities that complement kinetic responses and provide flexible, scalable protection.

Directional vs. Omni: The Right Tool for Every Tactical Situation

Every mission requires the right tool – and in C-UAS operations, antenna selection is paramount:

• True Omni-Directional Antennas: Best suited for last-mile defense, providing 360° coverage for immediate threats but with limited range.
• Directional Jammers: Offer focused, long-range disruption, ideal for pre-emptive threat engagement.
• Multi-Band Directional Jammers: Provide broad frequency coverage, efficient RF generation, and precise targeting of drone control and navigation signals.
• Integrated C2 Systems: Enable real-time threat analysis and optimized jamming effectiveness, tailored to the mission at hand.

The BLACKTALON Ecosystem unifies these capabilities to deliver unmatched versatility in contested electromagnetic environments.

Range Matters: Gaining Time and Tactical Advantage

Effective C-UAS strategies are built around the principle of early detection and engagement. The BLACKTALON Ecosystem enables:

• Long-Range Detection and Mitigation: Giving operators the advantage of reaction time.
• Targeted Energy Deployment: Maximizes disruption over broad operational areas.
• Close-In Response Capability: Ensures rapid neutralization of immediate threats with pinpoint accuracy.

In the battlespace, where seconds can define outcomes, range is not just a feature, it’s a necessity.

Future-Proofing the Fight Against Evolving UAS Threats

The battlespace is dynamic. So is the BLACKTALON Ecosystem. Designed with adaptability and scalability in mind, it ensures readiness for both current and future challenges:

• Modular, Software-Defined Radios (SDRs): Easily reconfigured to address evolving threat profiles.
• Centralized Command and Control: Supports multiple, simultaneous operations with streamlined coordination.
• Network-Capable Architecture: Seamless integration across platforms and mission scenarios.
• Mission-Specific Optimization: Quickly adapt to terrain, threat type, and operational goals.

Our future-proof approach ensures your forces are never behind the curve.
