Introducing Nexus360: The Operating System of Counter-Drone Defense
The counter-drone challenge has changed dramatically. What was once a niche security concern has become a daily operational reality for airports, military bases, borders, critical infrastructure, and large public events. Drones are cheap, accessible, and increasingly autonomous—while response windows are measured in seconds, not minutes.
Many organizations already own capable sensors and effectors: radars, RF detectors, cameras, jammers, or interceptors. Yet despite this investment, operations often remain fragmented.
Different systems operate in silos, operators juggle multiple screens, and critical seconds are lost correlating data and deciding what to do next. Nexus360 was built to solve exactly this problem.
One System, One Operational Picture Nexus360 is a powerful orchestration engine designed to turn fragmented sensors into one unified,
real-time intelligence network. Rather than acting as “just another dashboard,” it functions as the operating system that sits above your existing counter-UAS stack.
At its core, Nexus360 fuses data from multiple sensor classes—general detectors, smart detectors, and visual systems—into a single tactical picture. Radar tracks, RF detections, and camera feeds are correlated automatically, giving operators a clear, validated view of what is flying, where it came from, and where it is going. The result is fewer false alarms, faster identification, and higher confidence decisions.
Automation-First by Design
Human reaction time is one of the biggest vulnerabilities in counter-drone defense. Nexus360 is built with an automation-first philosophy to reduce operator latency at every stage of the engagement.
Using predefined rules and workflows, the system can automatically trigger actions when specific conditions are met. An RF detection may cue a radar. A radar track may automatically slew a camera.
A confirmed hostile drone entering a protected zone can generate alerts or initiate
mitigation—without waiting for manual input. Operators remain in control, but they are no longer
the bottleneck.
Layered Geo-Fencing for Real-World Operations
Airspace protection is rarely binary. Nexus360 supports layered geo-fencing that reflects how sites are actually defended.
An Outer Alert Zone provides early warning, allowing teams to detect, classify, and track drones well before they pose an immediate threat. An Inner Action Zone defines where automatic or operator-approved mitigation is allowed. This layered approach enables precise, proportional
responses—whether the mission is deterrence, investigation, or neutralization.
Fully Agnostic, Fully Modular
One of Nexus360’s defining strengths is its agnostic architecture. The platform is non-proprietary and modular by design, integrating with virtually any radar, RF sensor, camera system, jammer, or interceptor already in your arsenal.
This protects existing investments and avoids vendor lock-in. Systems can be added, removed, or upgraded over time without redesigning the entire architecture. Nexus360 adapts to the mission—not the other way around.
From Components to Capability
Ultimately, Nexus360 is about turning collections of equipment into a true operational capability. By
unifying sensors, automating responses, and providing a single command-and-control layer, it enables faster decisions, clearer accountability, and more effective counter-drone defense.
In a domain where seconds matter and complexity is the enemy, Nexus360 acts as the operating
system that brings order, speed, and clarity to counter-UAS operations.
