The BLACKTALON ecosystem integrates SPX Communication Technologies' BLACKTALON C-UAS technology and decades of field expertise with a vendor-independent framework. This approach ensures that the solutions can meet the unique requirements of each client. Defense and security teams benefit from a tailored approach based on their concept of operations, threats, user groups, existing capabilities, and specific budgets.

Clients also benefit from SPX Communication Technologies' extensive experience in developing C-UAS solutions for high-threat scenarios ranging from Ukraine to Iraq and other active global hotspots. SPX works closely with clients from the design phase through to operational deployment, ensuring that the solutions are optimized for the specific needs of users and mission objectives and remain supported throughout their operational lifespan.

The core BLACKTALON solution includes carefully selected active radars, EOIR, passive RFDF, RF jammers, and a mast configuration. While SPX will continue to offer this standard configuration, the open architecture of the BLACKTALON ecosystem allows for customization or replacement of any of these elements. This flexibility enables clients to access the latest systems and hardware capabilities without unnecessary barriers and within an appropriate timeframe.

For example, clients might choose OpenWorks' autonomous optical tracking, advanced 3D radar from American supplier Echodyne, RF subsystems from SPX, and mount them on a range of mobile or transportable masts that are dispersed or centrally located to provide a single scalable BLACKTALON C-UAS capability.

These latest capabilities join the ecosystem alongside existing providers such as Chess Dynamics, a supplier of large-scale surveillance, fire control, and positioning systems, and Blighter, a leading British provider of ground-based electronic scanning radar systems.
