Netherlands acquires C-UASs from Elbit Systems

Published on August 23, 2023

The Netherlands has procured counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UASs) from Elbit Systems for approximately $55 million. The contract includes various mobile, stationary, and deployed configurations of Elbit's 'ReDrone' integrated C-UAS solution, featuring passive detection and neutralization of unmanned aircraft systems across commercial frequency bands. The system combines electronic attack capabilities, DAiR radar, COAPS-L electro-optical payload, and SIGINT sensors under a central command-and-control framework. With a detection range of 3-4 km for the radar and 1 km for the EO payload, the C-UAS capability will protect against small UASs up to 20 kg, and it will be deployed across multiple airbases, naval ports, and the army's C-UAS platoon in the Netherlands.
