T.H.R.E.A.T. was developed in order to provide a low-cost, secure, and Bradley-compliant manufactured testing platform for counter sUAS solutions. Today’s battlefield is experiencing an unprecedented amount of off-the-shelf UAS equipment being deployed for offensive and reconnaissance roles. To combat this, the U.S. Department of Defense has issued several calls to action for prime manufacturers to develop countermeasures. 

Numerous acts such as H.R. 4682 – UAS Act (2021) prohibit certain foreign manufactured equipment from being “operated, financed, or procured” by all DOD or DOD prime contracting corporations for any use. Certain acts explicitly name DJI (China), the most renowned sUAS manufacturer, as the top prohibited cyber threat due to many features including cloud storing technology. Although DJI raises the majority of security concerns by the DOD, they remain the most popular. From Syria to Ukraine, the Phantom continues to be the most widely used platform for both reconnaissance and offensive measures. 

T.H.R.E.A.T. was designed to mimic the most popular DJI sUAS platform. From propulsion systems to aerial signature and flight characteristics, our aircraft performs almost identically when flown side by side with the Phantom. Whereas the Phantom is dependent upon cloud system technology, we designed T.H.R.E.A.T. to perform its missions without the use of any video equipment or internet access keeping the sUAS completely air-gapped from any outside entity.
