France, July 21 -- Thales is working with Australian company Visionary Machines (VM) to explore the potential of combining their C-UAS threat detection and tracking algorithms with Thales' wide area scanning hardware to create a best-in-class, completely passive C-UAS detection capability.The work is at the exploratory stage, and a trial is planned for August to assess the technology's performance against a variety of UAV threats.For Thales, the advantage of working with VM is that its software delivers reliable long-range detection with very low false-alarm rates and provides accurate target ranging - similar to active radar - to determine the distance to a threat.The combination of Thales' scanning hardware and VM's detection and tracking...
