The US Army is getting a high-tech boost against rogue drones along the southern border with DroneArmor, a next-gen counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) platform developed by Parsons Corporation.
Combining AI, machine learning, and multi-sensor fusion into a single, modular architecture, it can detect, track, and neutralize unauthorized drones before they threaten soldiers or critical infrastructure.
At Technology Readiness Level 9, the system has been validated in real-world use, equipping operators with situational awareness, actionable intelligence, and precise drone mitigation capabilities.
“Parsons is delivering mission‑critical technology that strengthens national security, protects US infrastructure, and keeps our communities safe,” said Carey Smith, company president and CEO.
“As a leading system integrator for national security missions, Parsons is an agile, rapid developer of transformative solutions that can be delivered at the speed of relevance.”
Developed at Parsons’ C-UAS Center of Excellence in Virginia, DroneArmor has reportedly completed rigorous government testing before entering operational use.
Next-Gen C-UAS
DroneArmor employs a range of countermeasures, including narrow-band radio-frequency jamming and cyber-based takeover techniques, to disrupt hostile drones.
Depending on mission needs, the system can force drones to return to their launch point, divert to a safe zone, or land immediately.
It can work alongside existing perimeter security systems, such as surveillance cameras and automated biometric access controls, to extend protection.
Beyond detection, DroneArmor supports automated mitigation, connects to multi-domain command-and-control networks, and ties into base force protection systems for coordinated defense.
It also uses vibration and motion sensors to monitor activity near secured areas and can integrate conventional kinetic measures when physical neutralization is required.
