Multi-Sensor Detection

Integrates radar, RF, electro-optical, and acoustic sensors for early, accurate threat identification.

AI-Driven Classification

Uses ARGUS I intelligence to distinguish between drones, birds, and other aerial objects, minimizing false alarms.

Comprehensive Countermeasure Suite

Hard-kill interception with a selectable 200 g, 350 g or 500 g payload module, with target lock and initiation always under operator control.

Scalable & Modular Design

From a single-drone launcher up to a twelve-drone launcher, easily configured for fixed, mobile, or maritime deployment and adaptable to mission size and terrain.

Seamless System Integration

Fully interoperable with ARGUS I, ARGUS C2, and third-party systems for unified, real-time threat management.

Adaptive Protection,

Anytime, Anywhere

Modern security demands scalable drone defense that extends military-grade protection to sensitive assets. ARGUS QANNAS safeguards vital airspace across diverse sectors:

  • Defense & Military: Forward operating bases, border zones, and vehicle-mounted deployments.
  • Critical Infrastructure: Oil and gas facilities, power plants, and grid sites.
  • Maritime & Transportation: Commercial ports, naval vessels, and international airports.

By combining live-target-tested engineering with intelligent autonomy, ARGUS QANNAS delivers reliable, adaptive, and continuous airspace security, anytime and anywhere the mission demands.

Autopilot

Argus QANNAS Interceptor

ARGUS QANNAS follows UAVs in real time using tracks from the customer’s radar network and a neural network, continuously calculating each target’s flight trajectory. Over a secured communication channel, it then directs the interceptor onto the threat with precision.
MODULAR DRONE DOCK STATION
Scalable, Portable, and Built for Operational Endurance
Scalability sits at the core of the ARGUS QANNAS Modular Drone Dock Station: a single installation grows from one unit to twelve interconnected modules as requirements expand. That same flexibility lets it adapt to mission profiles from tactical operations to large-scale surveillance networks, integrating seamlessly across any environment.
