MBDA Sea Warden

Sea Warden is the naval version of MBDA's Sky Warden counter-drone system, with added capability against unmanned surface vehicles. Like Sky Warden it is a modular system that integrates and controls a wide range of sensors and effectors, here to detect, assess and neutralise class 1 and class 2 unmanned aerial vehicles and small suicide unmanned surface vessels. It manages the full counter-UAS kill chain from detection to neutralisation, uses a mixed set of sensors to improve detection and applies image-recognition algorithms to identify the type of drone early. The number and types of sensors and effectors can be scaled and tailored to a customer's specific naval platforms and scenarios, which gives a navy a force protection capability against small, low-cost attackers.
