ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates \u2014 While some companies at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference are showing off their drones<\/a> \u2014 as surveillance aircraft, loitering munitions or swarms \u2014 a few have countermeasures<\/a> on display, including high-energy laser systems and smart missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SkyKnight, which was unveiled at IDEX<\/a>, is a radar-equipped missile made by Emirati defense company Halcon set to be integrated into the German Oerlikon air defense system, made by Rheinmetall. SkyKnight is the first missile system able to counter rockets, artillery and mortars designed and manufactured in the United Arab Emirates. The counter-drone system was designed to mitigate modern threats such as rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, rockets, artillery, mortars and other fixed-wing aircraft at a range of up to 10 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe system is able to detect, track and neutralize small-sized threats,\u201d Halcon CEO Saeed Al Mansoori told Defense News. \u201cIt is not a joint venture, we are not participating in the technology; they already have air defense systems and we already have our missile and canister. … We are just integrating the systems together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will be the system supplier for the Middle East region, and Rheinmetall will be the whole system supplier for Europe and other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE has already committed to buying the SkyKnight, but the system is four years away from target demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, at the Emirati International Golden Group\u2019s booth, a system of systems prototype is on display, featuring a radar on top and electronic warfare technology, among other capabilities. The platform is an Israeli counter-drone system made by Skylock, a subsidiary of Avnon Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirati company officials did say the system will undergo testing after IDEX concludes so the UAE\u2019s security services, land forces and border security can consider procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At another booth, sitting on top of an eight-wheel drive Rabdan infantry fighting vehicle was American firm Raytheon Technologies\u2019 High-Energy Laser Weapon System, showcased for the first time on the vehicle after announcing cooperation with Emirati company Al Jasoor five days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is able to target very small drones using electro-optical sensors and tracking algorithms. The operator can zoom in on a target and fire a precise and silent beam of light to destroy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRaytheon has updated the tracking algorithms and the advanced electro-optical targeting system that helps to identify the drones, with a limitless magazine. The cost per shot is what two people can pay for a cup of coffee, hence the advantages for customers who are going to target very small, cheap drones,\u201d Jeff Newsom, Raytheon\u2019s director for high-energy laser systems, told Defense News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
