Lycan Counter-Drone / Counter-UAS

The Lycan Counter-Drone / Counter-UAS system from IEC is designed to counter evolving Air Threats. 

Adversaries are looking to take advantage of low-cost, easy-to-use unmanned aerial systems. The ability of these unmanned aircraft vehicles to undertake both surveillance and direct-action lethal missions is posing a threat that must be addressed and mitigated. Therefore, a systems-based strategy is required to deliver effective Counter-Drone / Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) capabilities. Lycan, from IEC, is a complete system for locating, tracking, and defeating Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS or drones) used by potential adversaries to monitor, target, and even attack government, military, and commercial installations.

LYCAN - Layered Protection

Lycan uses a multi-layered method. Signals from various sensors are integrated into IEC’s IntrudIR Alert control system, which detects and identifies even small Class I drones (such as a DJI Phantom) at a distance of over 3 miles. This is analogous to seeing surface details on a grain of sand held at arm’s length.

LYCAN - Mitigation Options

IEC provides numerous mitigation solutions, including soft kinetic mitigation with an interceptor drone to capture the invading UAV, directed and omnidirectional RF jamming, and RF detection and mitigation.

LYCAN - Ease of Use

The Lycan is managed by IEC’s IntrudIR Alert middleware. All sensor data and system control functions are combined into a single, user-configurable panel.

IEC software distinguishes between potential threats (drones) and harmless objects like birds (sometimes known as “clutter”). Built-in patented heuristics reduce operator fatigue and attention by prioritising important goals and reducing clutter from the screen.
