MILLIBEAM has revealed Rakurai, a new hand-held counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) built around a proprietary Australian-developed radiofrequency (RF) architecture that the company said delivers greater performance, broader frequency coverage and improved power efficiency than conventional electronic warfare systems.
The plan to acquire human-operated strike drones for delivering explosives to a target without returning to launch points follows recent announcements to begin market research into unarmed long-range uncrewed aircraft systems capable of conducting maritime surveillance tasks.
The information gathered will provide indicative costs and time frames for the potential delivery of a system to conduct maritime surveillance activities across the South-West Pacific.
The rules, to come into effect on 29 September, will provide additional options for certification of RPAs heavier than 150kg, beyond the current experimental and restricted certificates.
Australian company CubePilot, which supplies hardware and embedded software for the civilian unmanned systems industry, has warned its customers that some of its systems are offline while it investigates a “security incident”.
Already in service with the Army’s 20th Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery, the Integrator uncrewed aerial system (UAS) is the fourth platform operated by the Navy’s dedicated UAS squadron since its commissioning in 2018.
