Counter-UAS technology: companies, products and buyer research

Advanced Technology Systems Company (ATSC)

McLean, VA, United States

ATSC develops and fields border and maritime surveillance, C5ISR, counter-UAS, autonomous surveillance, force-protection, and space technologies for U.S. government and allied customers.

AeroVironment

Arlington, VA, United States

Defense manufacturer of unmanned aircraft and multi-domain robotic systems.

AeroVironment's published portfolio spans unmanned systems, reconnaissance, precision strike, counter-UAS, directed energy and mission software. Listed products include Puma 3 AE, JUMP 20-X and several Switchblade configurations. Those are different product and mission families, so an aircraft carrying a reconnaissance sensor should be evaluated against a comparable offering rather than against a loitering munition simply because both appear under the company name. Offering context reviewed October 1, 2026.

Name the exact system, payload, ground control and support package. Ask which training, spares, consumables, software and integrations are included, and which documented customer use applies to that configuration. For a partnership, identify the relevant product team and interface. Company-level awards can span the portfolio and should be checked before attributing them to a particular aircraft or munition.

Allen Control Systems, Inc.

Austin, TX, United States

Allen Control Systems develops robotic weapon stations using computer vision, machine learning, and autonomous fire control to counter unmanned aircraft and protect military forces.

Anduril Industries

Costa Mesa, CA, United States

Anduril develops defense products spanning autonomous aircraft, counter-drone systems, underwater vehicles, command-and-control software, and other mission systems.

Anduril's published portfolio includes Ghost and Altius aircraft and Lattice software. The product and integration scope matter more than the broad label 'drone company': compare the specific aircraft, payload, software and support being offered. Offering context reviewed September 28, 2026.

Ask which legal entity and product configuration would deliver the requirement, what integration is included, and which customer evidence applies to that configuration. An award matched to Anduril does not by itself identify the aircraft or software involved.
