The Rapid Scout HQ is ISI’s flagship product, a van-based mobile surveillance platform utilising the firm’s suite of surveillance sensors, designed to provide coverage in areas that traditional CCTV systems’ coverage is limited.
The new platform will incorporate a drone detection radar and a radio frequency-based drone detection tool on the vehicle’s CCTV mast, with the option to add a DroneCannon jamming module.
Oleg Vornik, DroneShield’s CEO commented: “The partnership with an on-vehicle surveillance market leader ISI allows DroneShield to enter the vehicle-based law enforcement, security and military market, using a proven vehicle platform that ISI provides. There is a considerable interest in the market today for on-vehicle counterdrone products, which Rapid Scout® is well placed to meet using DroneShield’s capability.”
The product will be launched at Australian-based international defence exhibition Land Forces 2018, taking place in Adelaide on 4-6 September.
