WHAT WE DO · COUNTER-UAS
Counter-UAS & Ground Systems
Last-ring defense against Group 1-3 threats and Shahed-class drone swarms. Hexadyne integrates AI-enabled multi-sensor detection with human-authorized close-in kinetic defeat to strengthen the terminal layer of protection for critical sites facing one-way attack drones and swarm threats. Layered air and missile defense handles the high end; the last ring stops the low-cost, low-altitude, massed attacks that leak through.
THE HEXADYNE SOLUTION
ZEUS Adaptive Multi-Mode Effecter (AMME) is a sensing core, two integrated gun turrets and a battle station. Its radar detects and tracks drones and cues every turret; passive AI cameras identify them at optical range. Stand-alone MARS (Modular Advanced Response System) turrets, cued by the same core, extend coverage until the fields of fire overlap. Weapons: MK19 Mod 3 (40 mm), M240 (7.62 mm) or an AR-pattern belt-fed (6.5 Creedmoor) on one interchangeable mount, with other weapons to requirement. The result is gun-based defeat of Group 1-3 UAS at a cost per engagement measured in dollars, not the six figures a missile interceptor spends. This is the last-ring architecture for counter-drone requirements.
Key benefits
-
Multi-sensor AI fusion for faster, more reliable drone detection, classification, and track persistence.
-
Passive-capable, multi-sensor AI detection — radar cues passive AI cameras, so detection does not depend on the drone’s radio link. Two integrated turrets, each with its own firing solution.
-
Open-architecture integration with existing command-and-control and site defense systems.
-
Lower cost-per-kill for drone raids that would otherwise force expensive missile expenditure.
Detect, Classify, Engage
DETECT → CLASSIFY → ENGAGE
Detect
ZEUS AMME fuses radar tracks, AI electro-optical and thermal camera inputs and Remote ID into one characterized track, cutting false positives from clutter, birds and debris.
Classify
The AI layer scores threat behavior, track quality, and identity in real time, distinguishing nuisance or mimic drones from inbound one-way attack systems before they reach the asset. The cameras classify; only an operator declares a target hostile.
Engage
ZEUS AMME defeats Group 1-3 UAS with two integrated turrets, each holding its own firing solution. Every turret tracks autonomously; an operator at the battle station authorizes every engagement on a physical mode switch, and a guarded kill breaks the firing circuit with the computer and the network down.
Outer ring · High-end missiles
High-end missile defense (Patriot, THAAD) against ballistic and high-end threats. (Patriot / THAAD)
Middle ring · Low-cost interceptors
Low-cost interceptors engage the drone swarms that leak through the outer layer. (Roadrunner / Coyote)
Last ring · ZEUS AMME + MARS
AI sensor fusion with human-authorized gun-based defeat of the Group 1–3 drones that leak through.
Raid economics
Salvo attacks force defenders into unfavorable cost exchange when every inbound is met with a high-end interceptor. AI-enabled detection and low-cost autonomous kinetic defeat in the terminal layer create a sustainable defense architecture for air bases, energy sites, and strategic facilities.
