Rohde & Schwarz Presents ARDRONIS Counter-UAS Suite in Demonstration Van

Munich-based Rohde & Schwarz is presenting its ARDRONIS counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) suite at Counter UAS Technology Europe 2026, held in London from April 20-22, 2026. The demonstration is housed within a purpose-built van, allowing attendees to experience the system's capabilities firsthand.

The ARDRONIS suite is designed to detect, locate, and neutralize hostile UAVs rapidly. Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced the system's jamming capabilities by extending its frequency range down to 100 MHz. It features a direction-finding cockpit enabling operators to monitor and control multiple stations simultaneously, thereby reducing personnel requirements and increasing operational efficiency.

The demonstration van contains an integrated ARDRONIS setup, including ARDRONIS Locate Advanced for drone and operator detection and localization. It also features ARDRONIS Effect, a multi-band jammer with Smart Follower technology that automatically tracks and suppresses identified threats. Mobile ARDRONIS Detect and Locate Compact units, along with ARDRONIS Wi-Fi modules for commercial drone communication disruption, are also part of the display.

Bob Moll, CUAS Market Development Manager at Rohde & Schwarz, will guide attendees through the system's workflow, from detection to engagement. He highlighted that the system combines early warning, rapid response, and a unified cockpit into a field-ready solution designed to adapt to evolving drone threats and integrate into existing defense architectures.
