Our Roark Microwave System is a fully automated High Power Microwave System (HPMS) that can be used to neutralise threats from individual UAS’ as well as swarms.
The fundamentals of the Roark Microwave device design are gallium nitride resistors that enable an incredibly durable beam at a much lower energy input, this not only reduces the cost of interception but also allows for automated; remote deployments on a “set and forget” basis.
As with the Roark Laser, the transmitter is based on a 360 degree rotator that takes azimuth and elevation determination directly from the Aero-Ark software. The use of forward scatter detection means incoming threats can be identified at a range of up to 200 nautical miles, far greater than any other product on the market. As the input data flow from the Aero-Ark is software defined, preset interception conditions can be made that are based on a variety of options including AI determined payload, UAS dimensions, direction of travel and ownership, this enables automated friendly vs flow decision making, likewise friendly UAS operating on traditional Rf channels are detected by the packet sniffing element of the Aero-Ark that almost negates the ability for a “GOG” or “GOB” scenario.
The underlying hardware is powered by the Aero-Ark and includes communication and data units that allow for remote, unwatched deployment as well as onboard FPGA hand-off for AI processing. Data output can be fed in real-time using LTE, SATCOM, LAN or WiFi and is compatible with many leading C2 applications on the market.
The Roark Microwave is human-safe, has low input voltage and no ionizing radiation. Forward scatter analysis provided by the Aero-Ark also enables a “full field picture” which can identify infrastructure and humans which are factored in to the decision-making of the HPMS deployment.
As with the Roark Laser, the systems comes as standalone, vehicle mounted or as a smaller capacity, weapons mounted module.
