Atech, a Brazilian technology company in the Embraer Group, presented its integrated counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) ecosystem at Euronaval 2026 in Paris, France. Designed for the defence, public safety, and critical infrastructure markets, the solution goes beyond a traditional counter-drone system, serving as a comprehensive platform that delivers broad situational awareness, cyber protection, and intelligence.

As the misuse of drones rapidly proliferates across a range of scenarios, protecting airspace has become a complex challenge. To anticipate and respond to this need, Atech has brought together its established capabilities in command and control, data analytics, cybersecurity, unmanned aircraft system traffic management, and incident management. The platform spans the entire operational cycle, detecting, identifying, classifying, and mitigating threats, while also providing intelligence capabilities to understand threats and support responses to them.

The platform’s key differentiator is its focus on data intelligence: it does not stop at neutralising an intruding drone. Its analytical capabilities help operators gain a deeper understanding of the threat, its level of vulnerability, and the surrounding environment, turning raw data into useful, easy-to-understand information that helps users determine appropriate countermeasures when necessary.

“The platform helps customers understand what is happening in the theatre of operations, in addition to detecting and neutralising a threat. It combines real-time operations with historical data storage to generate heat maps, reports, and dynamic dashboards. These enable users to cross-reference data sources and conduct temporal analyses to identify flight patterns, recognise threats, and even analyse operator behaviour,” said Giacomo Staniscia, Atech’s Vice President of Defense Business.

MODULARITY AND CONVERGENCE

At Euronaval, visiting delegations had the opportunity to see the solution’s flexibility firsthand. Designed with a modular architecture, the platform adapts to different missions, environments, and threat levels in both civilian and military contexts. It is transportable and can operate in cloud-based, on-premises, or ad hoc computing environments, with sensors supporting installation on tripods, onboard, on towers, or on walls, making the solution suited to military facilities, critical infrastructure such as airports, oil and gas platforms, and power plants, strategic government buildings, and major events.

Another key pillar of the platform is its ability to integrate with other systems. Rather than being introduced into customers’ portfolios as a standalone technology layer, it is designed to integrate with their existing security, cybersecurity, command-and-control, and combat ecosystems.
