US tests containerized EW system for autonomous drone defense

Bottom line

The US tested Trust Automation's RD-SUADS containerized EW system at Grafenwöhr for autonomous drone defense, featuring 360° radar and rapid air-drop capability.

Why it matters

The RD-SUADS system offers a mobile, autonomous counter-drone solution that could be rapidly deployed to support NATO units, particularly in high-threat environments where fixed infrastructure is vulnerable.

US forces tested Trust Automation’s RD-SUADS containerized electronic warfare system at Grafenwöhr, Germany, for autonomous drone defense. The system integrates a 360° radar, EO camera, and 4-day diesel autonomy, with rapid air-drop capability. This test complements other US efforts to develop low-cost drone interceptors and counter-drone solutions, highlighting a focus on mobile, autonomous defense systems.
