Rheinmetall hands over SurveilSpire systems to Ukraine to counter drones
The German concern Rheinmetall has provided Ukraine with additional drone detection and countermeasures called SurveilSpire.
This is stated in the company’s press release published on Twitter.
The company has won a new tender to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with SurveilSpire systems designed for reconnaissance and countering enemy drones. The complex includes a tower with day and night vision cameras, manned drones and a control system, as well as transportation.
These systems are used for terrain monitoring, which reduces the number of military personnel involved in monitoring enemy positions and saves the lives of defenders. Only three people are needed to deploy the system.
The system includes wireless communication channels such as 4G and Starlink for video transmission to a mobile command post. It can also provide a 5G network.
The solar panels allow SurveilSpire to extend its operating time. The control unit of the complex processes the information received from cameras and drones using special software and artificial intelligence.
