Copenhagen Sensor Technology A/S proposes CST AirTracer, a multi-spectral optical sensor package for drone detection, tracking and recognition in Counter-UAS applications.
The system combines visible, NIR and SWIR cameras on a Pan/Tilt unit with 360° horizontal rotation and 180° vertical movement. It can be operated manually by joystick or automatically using an integrated tracker.
Supports clear optical observation across visible and near-infrared wavelengths, helping improve situational awareness in changing light conditions
Adds short-wave infrared imaging capability to support visibility and contrast in challenging environments where standard imaging may be limited.
Provides flexible directional control with wide-area coverage, enabling the sensor system to scan, follow and focus on objects of interest.
Allows intuitive manual operation, giving the user direct control of the sensor direction and observation focus when needed.
Helps maintain focus on selected objects automatically, reducing operator workload and supporting continuous observation.
Assists in identifying potential drone threats by supporting object classification and helping distinguish drones from other objects.
CST AirTracer is intended for use as an optical detection and identification component in land-based, maritime, fixed and mobile Counter-UAS systems.
The solution provides passive optical detection, tracking and recognition, enabling visual confirmation of drones before countermeasures are activated.
As a passive system, it emits no radar or RF signals and is therefore not detectable by electronic support or intelligence systems.
The combination of visible, NIR and SWIR imaging improves drone detection and identification in low visibility, poor weather and challenging battlefield conditions. The system is designed for harsh environments and temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
By providing reliable optical confirmation, the system can improve situational awareness, reduce false alarms and support faster decision-making.
