Thales has officially launched STORM 2, a lightweight and compact cyber and electromagnetic activities (CEMA) node. Originally designed to counter improvised explosive devices, Thales has rapidly developed the solution to equip soldiers with localised protection from radio frequency controlled unmanned aerial systems.
Weighing less than 2kg, STORM 2 minimises the weight burden on soldiers. Frequency coverage from 20 MHz to 6 GHz offers flexible protection against a wide and evolving range of UAS control links.
STORM 2 hosts a powerful software defined radio and processor that enables it to be rapidly re-configured to perform other CEMA roles, including hosting third-party applications and techniques.
STORM 2 is part of a suite of mounted and dismounted C-UAS solutions offered by Thales, leveraging the company’s expertise in maximising the effectiveness of the sense-decide-effect chain.
