AIRSPACE PROTECTION

Coordinated defence against unmanned aerial threats.

Milanion delivers integrated counter-UAS capability that combines multi-sensor detection, command and control, and coordinated response options to protect fixed sites, mobile forces, critical infrastructure and deployed operations.

Counter-UAS is an engagement chain, not a single device.

Unmanned aerial threats vary by size, speed, range, control method and mission intent. Some are used for surveillance. Others are used for disruption, targeting or attack.

Effective protection requires a connected architecture that can detect the threat, maintain tracking, support operator decisions and coordinate the right response within the operating environment.

ENGAGEMENT CHAIN

Detect. Track. Identify. Assign. Engage.

Milanion’s Airspace Protection capability connects awareness, decision-making and response into one operational flow.

Radar, RF and EO/IR inputs support continuous awareness of unmanned aerial activity across the protected area.
Fused sensor inputs help maintain a clearer air picture as threats move through fixed, mobile or deployed environments.
Classification and threat evaluation support operator understanding of what is being detected and how it may affect the protected asset.
Command and control tools help prioritise threats, coordinate response options and manage engagement decisions.
Response options can include RF and GNSS disruption, alongside interceptor-based capabilities where physical defeat is required.

LAYERED ARCHITECTURE

Three layers. One operating picture.

Airspace Protection brings sensor, command and response layers together so operators are not managing disconnected systems in isolation.

Sensor layer

Radar, RF monitoring and EO/IR detection provide the foundation for persistent airspace awareness.

Command & control layer

Data fusion, tracking, classification, prioritisation and engagement management support faster and more coordinated decision-making.

Effector layer

Electronic disruption and interceptor-based response options provide a layered approach to countering unmanned aerial threats.

Protection shaped around the operating environment.

A military base, airport, energy site, border location, logistics hub or deployed force will not require the same airspace protection model.

Milanion configures Airspace Protection around what needs to be defended, how the threat is likely to appear, how the response will be controlled and how the capability will integrate with the wider security or command structure.

Explore the wider air capability.

Airspace Protection sits within Milanion’s wider air capability approach, alongside mission-configured aerial systems, loitering munitions and autonomous swarming technologies.
