As the No. 1 provider of AI services to the federal government, Booz Allen delivers advanced counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) solutions designed to outsmart and defeat adversarial unmanned systems more quickly.  

Our AI-driven command and control systems give warfighters the decisive edge in modern counter-drone warfare. We detect and defeat threats ranging from autonomous swarms to single-target unmanned aircraft systems with unmatched speed and precision.

Unlike closed, single-vendor systems, our open, modular architecture allows seamless updates to C-UAS systems, ensuring U.S. forces stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats. At Booz Allen, we work side by side with U.S. warfighters worldwide, delivering solutions that not only lead in technology but also provide real results for the mission.

Detect

Fuse and interpret data from diverse sensors to identify potential threats before they strike.

Determine

Classify threats, assess capabilities, and understand intent for faster, more informed action.

Defeat

Match the right countermeasure to each threat in real time—neutralizing everything from lone drones to coordinated swarms.

Our C-UAS solutions are built for speed. They enable the warfighter to:

• Fully customize C-UAS systems for specific mission needs 
• Rapidly infuse new capabilities and technology from across the industry 
• Outpace adversaries with scalable, cost-effective technology that advances ahead of mission demands

We know that technology alone doesn’t win battles—understanding the mission does. Our C-UAS solutions are built on decades of mission understanding and partnership with the U.S. military across nearly every combat and operational theater. Our team includes thousands of veterans and reservists whose mission expertise drives design decisions and operational refinement. The result: C-UAS systems that are technologically advantageous and warfighter-ready. 

• Booz Allen Adaptive CUxS Threat Response Engine
• Booz Allen EdgeXtend™ Solution
• Tactical Assault Kit (TAK)
• CardShark™ body worn compute device

The Adaptive CUxS Threat Response Engine is a fully connected, multilayered, all-domain defense solution delivering 360-degree situational awareness and decisive protection. It employs an optimized set of radar, electromagnetic warfare (EW), electro-optical infrared (EO/IR), and radio frequency (RF) sensors to rapidly detect, track, identify, and defeat threats.  

This rapid engagement and autonomous countermeasure software toolkit uses a modular open systems approach (MOSA), modern software design, and open standards. This extensible, scalable platform maximizes machine learning to reduce operator workload while increasing lethality. 

While others offer proprietary, closed C-UAS platforms that limit flexibility, we provide:
