MatrixSpace is bringing a mobility-first twist to counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) operations, introducing a portable 360-degree radar built for fast setup and flexible, on-the-move defense.
The system can reportedly be assembled in minutes and runs on minimal power, giving operators rapid panoramic coverage for close-airspace counter-drone missions.
Small enough to fit in a car, the radar offers a flexible detection tool for stadiums, public events, border zones, and mobile military units.
Its compact footprint and “lower cost” target a long-standing problem: reliance on fixed sites, heavy power, or complex installation.
Designed for real-world clutter, the radar is designed to track low-flying, hard-to-spot drones across dense cities and uneven terrain.
The Intelligence Layer
MatrixSpace built the radar around an edge-AI architecture that adapts to congested airspace and improves with continued use.
Each unit can run on its own or scale into a multi-node network that links additional sensors and feeds into the company’s AiCloud Enterprise platform, giving command centers a unified picture and deeper airspace analytics.
The company said major corporations and government agencies have already adopted the system, which recently earned the “Best Active Sensor” award at the US Army’s xTechCounter Strike competition.
“We’ve already seen the tactical advantage MatrixSpace Portable 360 Radar offers, in some of the most challenging situations possible,” said Matthew Kling, Vice President and General Manager of AI Systems at MatrixSpace.
“The demand for fast, easy setup of such capable systems is clear, as a wide range of organizations grapple with the reality of critical counter-drone solutions.”
