Citadel Defense Launches C-UAS AI Software for Air, Land, Sea Targets

Citadel Defense, a developer of counter-drone technology, has launched an artificial intelligence software that detects and destroys unmanned systems in the air, land or sea.

The software is for the Titan system, which is armed with cognitive technologies such as robotic process automation, AI and deep learning to combat small drones, which becoming increasingly popular, said CEO Christopher Williams.

“Unmanned systems have changed the landscape of military, intelligence and security operations. We must think beyond aerial threats when protecting personnel and sensitive critical infrastructure," he said. The company plans to deploy the software to over a hundred Titan systems in the field.

In a press release, Citadel said Titan provides an advanced radio-frequency capability in response to a range of problems that standalone systems face.
