CHIMERA 100 is a complete portable counter-drone solution designed to detect, identify, track and neutralize rogue drones. It is the combination of the two systems (HYDRA, a mobile drone, and pilot detection unit, and MEDUSA a specially designed jammer) for special forces (police, gendarmerie, army, etc.).

Composed of 3 connected hardware items: an antenna, located in the dedicated backpack, a digital C2 (Command and Control) tablet attached to the front of the tactical vest, and an effector.

CHIMERA 100 allows a single operator on a mission to detect and neutralize nefarious drones.

The Chimera system has several advantages, like its lightweight (less than 12kg), its new shaped body, allowing military personnel to carry it easier, in addition to the regular equipment.
