C-UAS Tower Applications
Application Notes
The Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) sector is the fastest growing in the global aerospace industry. Drones are commonly used for intel gathering and attack vehicles for terrorism and wartime operations. As a result, we face a greater security threat than ever before.
This is why C-UAS capabilities have become increasingly essential for security. C-UAS utilizes radars, cameras, sensors, and jammers to maintain safety and increase security. Radar and RF detection are currently the most popular methods to detect drones. They can be used in multiple environments to enhance security.
Tower Solutions has elevated military C-UAS applications worldwide. Want to know how we can help? Read on and consult with us today.
How Tower Solutions Helps Your C-UAS
Leveraging a tower to raise equipment means increased range as well as the ability to see over obstructions. Our towers are ideal for implementing C-UAS systems for base protection, force protection, convoy, or large events. They enable relocatable rapid deployment and high elevations to increase your range. We also offer towers that can be fully tailored for better surveillance and protection. You can see all our surveillance applications here.
Our towers raise your surveillance equipment—whether it be radar, EO/IR surveillance, C-UAS, or communication equipment. They help better detect, classify, identify, and relay information about possible threats to your control center.
Need silent operations? Mount STS series towers in a truck with optional battery systems. The system can operate without engine/generator operation. It protects valuable equipment with automatic payload retracting and leveling features. The tower can be raised and lowered from the truck without stepping out of the vehicle to set up or tear down.
Lastly, since you have a limited amount of personnel in these applications, our towers can help you maximize your force. Most of our towers can be deployed and disassembled by just one person thanks to our patented electronic gear technology. Avoid the hassle you would experience with telescopic tower designs, and raise your C-UAS payload. With Tower Solutions, you’ll see productivity and efficiency soar.
Tower Solutions helps US Border Patrol with surveillance applications. Together, we protect our borders and reduce the instance of illegal activity. Our self-erecting towers play an essential role in Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) operations by enabling better situational awareness, knowledge of the environment and adversaries, and shortening response times with greater ranges.
Our Configurable Solutions
Let Tower Solutions help improve your surveillance and security. Our team of engineers has the skills, experience, and procedures in place to integrate your systems into our towers. We fully test towers beforehand so that you receive a complete and reliable system best equipped for your C4ISR needs. Our military-grade towers perform when they are most needed, even in the harshest environments. They will maintain reliability when it’s needed most.
For discrete, mobile reconnaissance applications, the STS tower series can be deployed from the bed of a pickup. Or, the STS-12 offers a stowing mechanism that tilts the radar back into a padded cradle, giving you safe transport at the push of a button. The STS-12 reaches 30 ft in less than two minutes and can lift payloads up to 650 lb. The STS-6 tower is the most compact, quickly deployable, highly mobile system. Mount it on an ATV or other vehicle and elevate C-UAS equipment of up to 150 lb. to 20 ft in less than a minute.
For medium to long-term deployments, the PTW-100, PTX-100, and PTM-130 towers can reach a maximum height of 80-120 ft in no more than 8 minutes and lift up to 2,000 lb. They are highly configurable. They are often used in border security where the surveillance equipment must remain autonomous and be monitored remotely. Upgrade to larger generators, alternative power options (lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, or hydrogen fuel cells), safety options, specific payload mounts, shelters, lightning protection, or other unique requirements you may need.
