Roark Weapon Mounted CUAS systems are smaller scale, shorter range variants of our Roark Laser and Roark Microwave systems. They are combined with a patented barrel adapter meaning they can be attached to most personal LMG’s currently manufactured.
Laser
Building on our fixed position “High Power Laser” system, Roark have produced a lightweight variant that is attachable to almost all commonly used handheld weapons systems.
Combining Li-On batteries, fiber-laser amplifiers and thermal management systems alongside an adjustable barrel connector, the weapons mounted laser system is the ideal solution for those seeking a mass deployable, manually operated system.
With a stopping range of up to 800M and being independently powered, the HELS for handheld weapons systems is the future of the battlefield.
Microwave
The weapons system mountable variant of our Microwave C-UAS system consists of 3 main components:
Li-on based power supply
Magnetron Tuner
Conical Horn Radiator
The system has the same barrel connector as the laser and so can fit on to almost all commercially used handheld weapons systems.
The weapons mounted system will perform a hard stop in all weather conditions at a range of up to 250M although is not suitable for use in stopping UA’s with faraday shielding.
Operating Modes and Information Provision
Both handheld systems can be deployed in “manual” mode where the “shot” decision making is determined by the operator.
Alternatively the systems can be equipped with SATCOM functionality to allow them to draw information from our drone detection and identification systems. Voice based guidance is provided in real-time and includes information such as:
- Distance
- Speed
- Drone Type
- Shielding (Through EM Leakage)
Crucially, the SATCOM mode can make an automated “friend or foe” decision based on the information obtained in real-time from our drone detection systems/network. This facilitates a lock-out mechanism similar to that of Air to Air systems.
