L3Harris Showcases Robotic Drone Detection Capability for US Army
January 21, 2025 | L3Harris TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
L3Harris Technologies has successfully demonstrated a new drone detection and defeat capability for its T7 robot system at Vanguard 24, an annual capstone experiment the U.S. Army hosts at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The T7 is a large robotic system that gives operators precision control for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and other complex tasks.
L3Harris integrated a counter-small uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) onto a T7 robot for the experiment to demonstrate remote drone detection and defeat, a key capability for Army operators. The experiment also tested the ability to remotely sense, monitor and decode other signals of interest using L3Harris’ lightweight Individual CORVUS Node, which is designed to help users perform multiple electronic warfare and cyber roles in the field.
“This demonstration proves it is possible to expand the future roadmap of the multi-mission T7 platform,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “Using readily available technologies through the T7 network is a powerful example of our commitment to help customers dominate future mission scenarios, from counter-small UAS to spectrum sensing and beyond."
EOD military forces in the U.K., U.S. and Australia have deployed L3Harris’ T7 robots globally.
