KNDS showcases complete set of C-UAV capabilities at Eurosatory 2026
Paris, 17.06.2026 (PresseBox) - At the 2026 Eurosatory defense trade fair, KNDS showcases its entire set of multilayer counter UAV (C-UAV) capabilities. KNDS solutions detects, identifies, tracks and neutralizes all modern targets: from drones including in swarm configuration, helicopters, aircrafts or rockets and missiles (C-RM capacity).
TARGAS ecosystem: from detection to neutralization
Bringing together its expertise in weapons and ammunition as well as its know-how as a lead system integrator, KNDS presents its first fully integrated multi-layer C-UAV ecosystem, autonomous from threat detection to neutralization: TARGAS (for Tactical Advanced Response for Ground, Air and Surface threats). TARGAS is capable of addressing both aerial threats on the modern battlefield (drones, loitering munitions, missiles and glide munitions, helicopters and fighter aircraft operating at low altitude) as well as land or naval threats, from ground robots to light and heavy armored vehicles. It is composed of various sensors, and soft-kill and hard-kill effectors.
At the core of the TARGAS solution, these effectors include in particular:
TARGAS 30: composed of a radar and a 30mm ARX 30 gun mounted on a Serval chassis. It fires 30mm 30x113 C-UAV ammunition.
TARGAS DSP10: a combination of soft-kill effectors enabling the takeover of drones or remotely operated munitions near the defended area, and the deployment against the threat of a drone-interceptor drone. It will be developed in collaboration with our partner AERIX.
RAPIDFire: developed in collaboration with Thales, and armed with the 40 CT canon already equipping the Jaguar. It operates using artificial intelligence derived algorithms.
Drone Launcher Prototype Container
The prototype developed by KNDS is the interface between the deployment site and the effector. The system can be set up at any location and can be deployed autonomously at any time. When networked with a command center, any number of Drone Launcher Containers can be combined into a highly effective shield against drones. The prototype presented by KNDS at Eurosatory is open in terms of interfaces and demonstrates the technological interplay with our partners TYTAN and Helsing.
BOXER UAV
It combines the mobility of the highly protected modular BOXER system with the capabilities of a drone mothership. The operator can deploy drones for reconnaissance and operational effects from a protected compartment, even on the move. This system approach is also based on open interfaces and is equipped with drones from our partner 24 Industries.
DINGO 4x4 RIwP (Reconfigurable Integrated Weapons Platform)
The modular concept of the DINGO in its pick-up variant is capable of accommodating different counter-UAV systems. Thanks to its variable mission module carrier, the RIwP can be integrated easily and, in this DINGO variant, ammunition and additional equipment can be stored thanks to the high payload capacity. In this combination, the DINGO can quickly and with a high level of protection reach strategic locations and immediately engage threats from the air.
