This compact and comprehensive solution integrates state-of-the-art radar, a long-range observation system, and a high-power radio frequency jammer, catering to the pressing need for effective defense against unauthorized drone activities and other aerial threats. Engineered for continuous operation, the LYNX system offers adaptability with its fixed, portable, or mobile deployment options, ensuring wide-ranging security applications.

Central to the LYNX system's effectiveness is its cutting-edge 3D radar technology, employing the latest in solid-state and electronic scanning over a vast 360 x 90-degree area. This facilitates the swift detection of fast-moving objects, extending from low-speed drones to high-velocity missiles and other small, rapid threats. The radar's capability to quickly pinpoint threats is pivotal for timely response measures.

Supporting the radar's detection capabilities are the system's electro-optical components, featuring a thermal camera and a low-light Day/Night HD camera equipped with an advanced video tracker. These components are integral for extended detection, recognition, and identification ranges, ensuring precise target identification under any lighting conditions. The inclusion of a high-power radio frequency jammer further enhances the system's defensive measures, providing both soft and hard kill options to effectively disable or neutralize threats.

Flexibility in deployment is a hallmark of the LYNX Counter-UAV system, offering various configurations such as single mast, multiple masts, or dispersed subsystems to maximize coverage and minimize potential dead zones. This adaptability ensures that the system can be customized to fit the unique demands of each installation site, enhancing its role as a comprehensive airspace security solution.

With detection ranges tailored to the size and type of potential threats, the system boasts the ability to identify nano and micro UAVs from distances up to 10 and 12 kilometers respectively, and larger threats such as medium UAVs, heavy transport aircraft, and helicopters at ranges extending to 100 kilometers. These impressive detection ranges highlight the system's capability to provide advanced warning and proactive response options against a broad spectrum of aerial threats.
