USH Fortress Launches Counter-Drone Module for Fixed Infrastructure Protection

USH Fortress Defense Systems has introduced a modular counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) protection solution for fixed critical infrastructure, including power generation facilities, refinery complexes, command facilities, and strategic storage sites.

The Drone Threat to Infrastructure

The use of commercial and military-grade drones as attack vectors against fixed infrastructure has grown dramatically. Events across multiple conflict zones have demonstrated that a small number of commercially available drones costing hundreds of dollars can cause tens of millions in damage and weeks of operational disruption to critical facilities.

Conventional perimeter security provides no effective defense against aerial threats. The USH Fortress C-UAS module addresses this gap with a layered detection and interdiction capability designed for permanent installation at fixed sites.

"A fence stops a person. It does not stop a drone. Infrastructure protection in 2024 requires a three-dimensional defense layer we built one."

System Architecture

The C-UAS module combines a multi-sensor detection array radar, acoustic, and RF signature detection with an AI-powered classification engine that distinguishes hostile drones from birds, aircraft, and authorized UAVs. Upon classification, the system presents the operator with a range of interdiction options from electronic jamming to directed kinetic response, depending on site authorization and rules of engagement.

The modular design allows deployment as a standalone system or full integration with existing perimeter security infrastructure and control room operations.

• Multi-sensor detection: radar, acoustic, RF
• AI classification distinguishes hostile from authorized UAVs
• Electronic and kinetic interdiction options
• Integrates with existing perimeter security systems
