The question is not if a drone breach reaches your facility. It's when — and whether your airspace has an operating system.

The Platform

FOS Aero.
Every Sensor. Every Drone. Every Effector.

Counter-drone hardware alone cannot protect a facility. A jammer only works in range, current to this week's frequency ranges and frequency-hopping defeat software. An intercept drone is endurance-limited — effective only as part of a networked fleet, dispatched by detection onto the optimal intercept track. Without integrated detection, automated coordination, and a unified command picture, every layer fails the others. FOS Aero is the layer that makes them work as one — a modular integrator, built so every layer is integratable and every layer is replaceable.

Why Standalone Systems Leave You Exposed

Detection-only systems tell you a threat exists. They cannot stop it. EW jammers can neutralize a drone — but only in range, and only when continuously updated against this week's adversary technology. Intercept drones are fast but endurance-limited — effective only when networked across all potential flight paths with automated, detection-triggered launch. Without integration, each layer fails the others.

FOS Aero is purpose-built to run the full response chain from a single screen — vendor-agnostic, site-configurable, and operator-controlled with a complete compliance audit trail. Because it is built on open NATO-standard architecture rather than proprietary lock-in, it integrates best-of-breed American hardware at every layer — and replaces any layer as the threat evolves.

  • Modular and vendor-agnostic by design — integrates leading American detection, EW, and intercept systems; no legacy lock-in, no rip-and-replace
  • NATO-standard architecture — built on STANAG 4817 / SAPIENT interoperability standards
  • Multi-sensor fusion: micro-Doppler radar + RF + visual
  • Radar/RF nodes do dual duty — detect and jam
  • Networked interceptor fleet with automated detection-triggered dispatch on the optimal flight path
  • Operator-in-the-loop with full compliance audit trail
  • Site-specific rules of engagement — no code changes required
  • Threat libraries updated on a ~14-day cycle via the FOS Aero update service
Capabilities

One Platform. Full Spectrum.

🎯

Kinetic Intercept

A networked fleet of intercept drones deployed across all potential threat flight paths — automatically dispatched by the detection layer onto the optimal intercept track the moment a hostile target is confirmed. Interceptor-agnostic software integratable with US-made airframes. Operator-authorized, every action logged.

📡

Electronic Warfare

Radar/RF arrays that detect and jam simultaneously — the detection grid is the countermeasure grid. EW countermeasures refreshed on a ~14-day cycle from active battlefield intelligence, defeating frequency hopping as adversary technology evolves.

🔍

Short-Range Detection

Micro-Doppler radar, RF, and visual sensor fusion for identifying and tracking small UAS in cluttered urban, indoor, and industrial environments — discriminating drones from birds and clutter where signature-based detection alone fails.

🛰️

Long-Range Detection

Extended-range detection and EW arrays providing wide-area airspace awareness for large critical infrastructure, coastlines, borders, and pipelines. Early warning and early defeat from the same grid.

🚁

Drone-as-First-Responder

Networked DFR drones serve as both aerial first responders and mesh communication nodes — automatically dispatching to confirmed threats and relaying live data between every sensor and command.

🕸️

Net Interceptor

Non-kinetic physical capture of rogue drones. Preserves evidentiary integrity for law enforcement prosecution, intelligence exploitation, and adversary hardware analysis.

✈️

Long-Range Recon UAV

Fixed-wing UAV for persistent loitering surveillance of large facilities, coastlines, and high-value assets — integrated into FOS Aero for detection-cued dispatch and unified operator control.

🛡️

Tactical Officer Drone

Purpose-built airborne asset for law enforcement operations — reconnaissance, pursuit, and force-extension for SWAT and police units in denied or dangerous environments.

Who We Serve

If It Can Be Breached
From the Air, We Protect It.

FOS Aero is built for any organization — government, commercial, or industrial — that faces aerial threats and needs a deployable, integrated response capability it can own, operate, and scale as threats evolve.

Why FOS Defense

Every Layer.
One Command Picture.

Detection vendors can't stop a threat. EW jammers can't find one. Intercept drones can't operate without a detection network. Defense primes price their systems for Pentagon budgets, not police departments or power plants. FOS Aero was architected to close every one of those gaps.

01

The Operating System, Not Another Box

FOS Aero unifies detection, DFR, electronic warfare, kinetic intercept, and command into a single vendor-agnostic platform built on open NATO-standard architecture. A modular integrator, not a closed box: one screen, one command picture. No separate systems to manage, no integration gaps to exploit — and no dependence on any single hardware vendor.

02

Battlefield-Informed + US-Manufactured

American-built platforms designed around requirements our leadership developed through direct, sustained engagement with the operators and developers defining modern drone warfare in Ukraine. Combat-validated doctrine; US-manufactured, NDAA-compliant components from scaling American suppliers with allied-nation communications; FOS Defense is ITAR-registered — the claim structure federal and regulated commercial customers require.

03

Software That Stays Current

The FOS Aero threat library and EW countermeasures are updated approximately every two weeks from active battlefield intelligence — including the latest frequency-hopping defeat algorithms. Adversary drone technology evolves continuously. Your platform evolves with it, automatically, without hardware changes.

04

Dramatically Lower Cost Than Defense Primes

A best-of-breed American partnership model — selecting the right hardware for each layer rather than building everything in-house — delivers a 3–5x cost advantage over legacy prime alternatives. Enterprise-grade capability accessible to law enforcement agencies, municipalities, and commercial operators, not just billion-dollar procurement programs.

05

Start Small. Expand as Threats Grow.

Configure the platform to your site's current threat profile and budget today. Add capabilities as needs evolve — no rip-and-replace, no new systems to learn. Every deployment includes a full compliance audit trail for every detection and response action taken.

Origin

Forged by the Front.
Built for America.

Ukraine compressed a decade of drone warfare evolution into three years. It is the only place on earth where counter-drone doctrine is written, tested, and rewritten daily — and no amount of lab work or trade-show research substitutes for standing where it's happening.

Our leadership went. Repeatedly. Embedded with frontline drone units, in the field and in the workshops — meeting with virtually every major Ukrainian defense developer shaping this domain, studying what works, what fails, and why, at a depth no datasheet can convey.

We didn't come home with someone else's hardware.
We came home with the requirements.

FOS Aero is our answer: an American-built platform, designed around the hardest lessons of the world's most contested airspace, engineered for US law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and allied defense.
