Parsons Debuts AI-Enabled CUAS System Integrating DroneArmor and Kinetic Defenses
PSN•Parsons demonstrated an integrated AI-enabled counter-UAS solution combining DroneArmor, HurleyIR EO/IR sensors, DroneShield radar and Bullfrog remote weapon station to autonomously detect, classify and mitigate drone threats. The full-chain demo validated scalable, layered CUAS architectures from site-level to regional defense with real-time C2, decision support and kinetic response.
1. Demonstration and Objectives
Parsons successfully executed an end-to-end counter-UAS demonstration showcasing how its integrated architecture enables autonomous detection, classification and mitigation of drone threats. The mission rehearsed the full kill chain from sensor data capture through AI-enabled decision support to kinetic engagement in a realistic operational environment.
2. Technology Integration
The system fused data from HurleyIR electro-optic/infrared sensors and DroneShield radars into the DroneArmor AI-enabled command-and-control framework, then triggered Allen Control Systems’ Bullfrog remote weapon station to deploy kinetic effectors. This seamless integration connects sensing, C2 and response modules to reduce latency and enhance precision in threat engagement.
3. Scalability and Applications
Parsons’ CUAS architecture scales from single-site protection to regional, theater and homeland defense networks, offering layered non-kinetic and kinetic countermeasures. The modular platform leverages existing C5ISR capabilities, enabling defense and infrastructure stakeholders to adapt deployments as aerial threat profiles evolve.
