The Low-Slow-Small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Integrated Defeat System (LIDS) detects, tracks, identifies and defeats hostile Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 drones. Group 1 drones typically weigh less than 20 pounds, operate below 1,200 feet at speeds slower than 250 knots; Group 2 drones typically weigh 21–55 pounds and operate below 3,500 feet at speeds slower than 250 knots; and Group 3 drones weigh 55–1,320 pounds and operate below 18,000 feet at speeds slower than 250 knots. LIDS accomplishes these tasks through the integration of systems selected from the best of tested technologies available.
AN/TPQ-50 and Ku Band Multifunction Radio Frequency Systems (KuMRFS) detect and track threat drones. All Multimission Radars (MMR) support counter-battery target acquisition, counter-rocket, -artillery, -mortar and -air surveillance for UAS mission requirements. MMR perform multiple missions through the simultaneous search for artillery ballistic targets and air surveillance for detection of drones.
Passive detection relies on intercepting radio frequencies remotely guiding the drone with the direction-finding sensor and the electronic warfare module interpreting the signal. Correlation of all sensors and effectors with higher echelon through the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control system provides an integrated air picture and avoids fratricide.
The warfighter uses the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) camera for visual identification, confirmation and classification up to 10 kilometers, depending on size of the drone. The operator then uses the electronic warfare system to compare radio-frequency reception of command or video up- and downlink signals against known systems to identify and classify the drone. Defeat of hostile systems requires a defense-in-depth strategy employing interceptor, electronic warfare and gun technologies. The effective range of the Coyote Block 2 Interceptor is approximately 10 kilometers, followed by the electronic warfare system with effects ranging up to 8 kilometers. The XM-914 30 mm chain gun provides the final protective defense.
