Point Defense: Rapidly Deployable Acoustic Shield

Modern units face constant threats from drones and other aerial systems, even when stationary for only short periods, for instance during a column halt. In these moments, point defense — the protection of a limited area or unit for a short duration — becomes critical. Protecting troops and assets without adding to the burden of constant watch is essential. Discovair G2+ delivers a powerful protective dome of awareness that alerts soldiers the moment a threat enters their perimeter — enabling rest, repositioning, or safeguarding of assets with confidence.

A New Layer of Protection

Point Defense establishes an instant acoustic shield around deployed forces, providing unmatched situational awareness where other sensors fall short. Discovair fills vital gaps that radar or optics might leave, by operating effectively in cluttered environments, behind cover, at night, or in adverse weather.

A single sensor delivers full 360° coverage, providing immediate point defense for a patrol or vehicle. Additional units can be seamlessly linked to scale protection from a squad to a platoon or beyond. With its zero-configuration, plug-and-play setup, the system enables soldiers to establish protection in seconds — freeing manpower from the burden of constant guard.

Key Advantages

• Catch-all acoustic drone detection — works in darkness, clutter, and poor visibility.

• Rapid deployment with zero configuration.

• 360° coverage from a single sensor.

• Passive and jam-proof, ensuring no electromagnetic footprint.

• Scalable coverage from patrol to company-size operations.

• Interoperability with TAK/ATAK and NATO CUAS (SAPIENT) protocols.

• Multi-mission capable — the same platform can also detect small arms fire, indirect fire, RAM-threats, etc.

Mission-Focused Awareness

Because it operates passively and without emitting signals, the system cannot be jammed and does not compromise the unit’s position - an important quality for point defense missions where concealment and reliability are paramount. Soldiers stay focused on their mission, confident that they will receive instant alerts when a threat approaches.

Discovair G2+ is more than a sensor — it is a force multiplier, giving units an acoustic shield that keeps them safe, aware, and ready to act.

• What does “point defense” mean in this context?

  Point defense refers to the short-term protection of a specific unit, location, or vehicle against aerial threats like drones. It is particularly valuable during moments of vulnerability, such as when a patrol halts or when troops need to rest, reposition, or safeguard equipment.

• How does Discovair G2+ provide protection during these pauses?

  Discovair G2+ establishes an instant acoustic shield with 360° coverage from a single portable sensor. It alerts soldiers the moment a drone or other threat enters their perimeter, ensuring they stay protected without having to maintain constant manual watch.

• In what environments does the system work best?

  Unlike radar or optics, Discovair performs reliably even in cluttered terrain, behind cover, at night, or in poor weather. Its passive acoustic detection ensures that threats can be identified even when other systems have blind spots.

• How quickly can the system be deployed?

  The system is designed for zero-configuration, plug-and-play setup. Soldiers can establish a protective dome within seconds, making it ideal for mobile operations and fast-changing battlefield conditions.

• Beyond drone detection, what else can Discovair G2+ detect?

  The platform is multi-purpose capable. In addition to drones, it can detect small arms fire, indirect fire, RAM threats etc. This makes it a versatile force multiplier that enhances both protection and situational awareness.
