CASE STUDY

Mission-Realistic C-UAS Experimentation

Partners: SOCCENT, CD&I (IWTSD), ONR

Situation

SOCCENT needed rapid, unbiased validation of counter-UAS technologies to speed deployment against evolving drone threats.

Task

Deliver a high-fidelity test environment integrating multiple BLUE C-UAS systems and RED threat UAS to inform investment and fielding decisions.

Action

Covan executed the experiment, integrating BLUE and RED systems in a realistic, repeatable setup with secure RF networking and AI-enabled analytics for independent, defensible results.

Result

The effort quickly validated C-UAS technologies, providing high-quality performance data and operational insights that accelerated SOCCENT's fielding decisions.

USE CASE — NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER

Data collection and learnings at the edge

Covan attached an expeditionary infrastructure to existing networks, captured real-time telemetry, and delivered enhanced AARs that turned event data into decision evidence.

  • —Digital data capture: operators replaced paper reports with real-time, structured inputs.
  • —Multi-source integration: observer data combined with live video for a complete picture.
  • —Real-time processing: centralized, aggregated data for immediate visibility.
  • —Rapid analysis: near real-time verification and insights.
  • —Decision dashboards: live dashboards and leaderboards for leadership decisions.
