Echodyne says its EchoShield radar has been integrated into the BAE Systems Anti Threat System, a platform connecting sensors, control software and counter-drone equipment.
The announcement follows live BATS trials in Scotland. BAE Systems says the demonstrations showed the platform identifying and responding to drone threats, but the announcement gives no separate quantitative results for EchoShield.
The radar steers its beam electronically rather than moving a mechanical antenna. Its data feeds the wider system while people retain control over defensive decisions, the companies say.
