Parsons and DroneShield Jointly Demonstrate Open-Architecture Counter-UAS System to Address Evolving Drone Threats
DroneShield and Parsons Corporation have conducted a joint capability demonstration showcasing interoperable Counter-UAS (C-UAS) solutions built on an open-architecture framework. The demonstration highlighted how sensors, C2 systems, and effectors from multiple vendors can be seamlessly integrated to protect national security assets and critical infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated drone threats.
Highlights
- DroneShield and Parsons Corporation conducted a joint demonstration of an open-architecture Counter-UAS (C-UAS) system designed for national security and critical infrastructure protection.
- The open-architecture design integrates multi-vendor sensors, C2 systems, and effectors, eliminating single-vendor lock-in and improving operational flexibility and scalability.
- DroneShield contributes RF detection, radar, EO/IR sensing, and electronic jamming capabilities, while Parsons provides systems integration and defense engineering expertise.
- Drone threats against critical infrastructure such as airports, power plants, and government facilities are increasing globally, driving urgent demand for interoperable C-UAS solutions.
- Both companies have committed to continuing their collaboration to co-develop next-generation integrated counter-drone capabilities for evolving national security missions.
DroneShield, a global leader in counter-drone technology, has teamed up with defense integrator Parsons Corporation to conduct a joint capability demonstration focused on interoperable Counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems designed for national security and critical infrastructure protection missions.
Open Architecture: Flexible Response to Diverse Threats
The centerpiece of the demonstration was the adoption of an open-architecture approach, enabling sensors, command-and-control (C2) systems, and effectors from different vendors to be seamlessly integrated. This significantly enhances the flexibility and scalability of overall C-UAS operations.
This architectural philosophy allows military and security agencies to select and configure the most suitable technology components for each mission, without being locked into a single vendor's closed ecosystem — effectively reducing vendor dependency risk.
Addressing a Continuously Evolving Drone Threat Landscape
As commercial drone technology proliferates rapidly, the use of small UAS for intelligence gathering, disruption, or attacks against critical facilities is growing, posing serious national security challenges. The collaboration between DroneShield and Parsons directly addresses this fast-changing threat environment with a systematic, integrated solution.
DroneShield brings a diversified C-UAS product portfolio encompassing RF detection, radar, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensing, and electronic jamming capabilities. Parsons contributes extensive experience in systems integration and defense engineering. Together, the two companies can deliver comprehensive protective capabilities to government agencies and critical infrastructure owners.
Growing Demand for Critical Infrastructure Protection
Drone threat incidents targeting airports, power plants, government facilities, and other critical infrastructure have become increasingly frequent in recent years, prompting governments worldwide to seek more robust C-UAS solutions. This demonstration underscores the industry's strong demand for scalable, interoperable system architectures and reaffirms the strategic value of open platforms in modern security operations.
DroneShield and Parsons stated that they will continue to deepen their collaboration to jointly develop next-generation integrated counter-drone capabilities, meeting the escalating demands of national security missions.
