CITADEL DEFENSE

On May 2, 2019, Citadel Defense received a U.S. Government award to expand development of their C-UAS technology. Lt. Col. (R) Matt England, U.S. Army, and now vice president of Business Development for Citadel, is quoted on the company’s website: "Our Titan CUAS system autonomously clears the Warfighter's airspace, allowing them to be unconcerned with threat drones and purely focused on the mission at hand..." The Citadel Defense Titan system, which is depicted as a virtual protective dome, detects approaching drones and classifies whether there is a single unit or a swarm, and reports this in real time to its operators, which can be military, governmental, or commercial users. The system uses sophisticated electronic countermeasures to induce the drone to land or return to its home base. Enabling technologies include a mix of machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence, and “software-defined hardware technology” that rapidly identify airborne intruders before they pose a threat.
