Kongsberg recently signed an agreement with the International
Fund for Ukraine (IFU) to deliver counter-drone systems that will
be donated to the war-torn nation. The IFU was established by the
UK and international partners to identify and procure critical
capabilities and deliver them quickly to Ukraine. Norway and the UK
are among many nations that have contributed to the fund.
Cerberus XL combines an advanced thermal/visual imaging system
with highly sensitive radar sensors onto a mobile platform to
rapidly locate and track UAS targets. Kongsberg then feeds
information from Cerberus into its remote weapons station to
disable and defeat the threat.
“Teledyne FLIR is proud to partner with Kongsberg in delivering
our next-generation Cerberus XL as part of a complete and robust
system to protect Ukraine's warfighters,” said Dr. JihFen Lei,
executive vice president and general manager of Teledyne FLIR
Defense. “We have a long history of providing state-of-the-art
imaging solutions to Kongsberg, and this important joint effort
only strengthens our relationship.”
In addition to the Cerberus systems, Teledyne FLIR is supporting
Ukraine’s defense with other advanced military technology,
including its Black Hornet® nano-drone. The Black Hornet 3 is
currently being used by Ukrainian forces through donations made by
the British and Norwegian governments.
