Radar and optical sensor scanning a Canadian night sky
COUNTER-UAS SYSTEMS

CANADIAN-BUILT DETECTION, TRACKING AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.

Tron Motors is developing a modular Counter-UAS platform designed to support the detection, identification, tracking and understanding of uncrewed aerial threats.

THE PROBLEM

SMALL, FAST, LOW AND HARD TO SEE.

Uncrewed aircraft are cheap, numerous and difficult to characterise with a single sensor. The platform is built around layered sensing and fusion rather than one modality.

TRON MOTORS NORTHERN DOME

Northern Dome C-UAS High Power Laser

We are developing Northern Dome coast to coast to coast a Canadian sovereign counter-drone shield engineered for the North. Layered sensing, fusion and a directed High Power Laser effector, built to hold airspace across the harshest environments in the country.

01SENSING LAYERS

Four sensing layers. One fused picture.

Select a layer to see how each modality contributes to detection, classification and confidence.

Radar

Persistent volumetric coverage.

Radar provides continuous range and velocity information across the surveillance volume, including in conditions where optical sensing degrades.

01PLATFORM OVERVIEW

A modular platform for evolving aerial threats.

The platform is being designed to integrate multiple sensing modalities with edge processing and a clear operator picture. Modules can be added or reconfigured to match the operational environment.

02CAPABILITY MODEL

DETECT · TRACK · IDENTIFY · FUSE · INFORM

01
Detect

Sensing layers activate across the airspace to surface potential activity.

02
Track

Stable tracks form from partial, noisy inputs across sensor modalities.

03
Identify

Classification and confidence information become available to the operator.

04
Fuse

Multiple sensor sources combine into one coherent picture.

05
Inform

Actionable information reaches the operator interface for decision support.

03DEPLOYMENT

Configurations for intended environments.

Configuration
Fixed-Site

Persistent installation for high-value assets.

Configuration
Mobile

Vehicle-mounted or transportable configuration.

Configuration
Mission-Specific

Tailored payloads for specific operational requirements.

Configuration
Critical Infrastructure

Continuous monitoring for essential facilities.

Configuration
Temporary Security

Rapidly deployable for events and operations.

Configuration
Northern Environment

Development targeting cold-weather and Arctic conditions.

The interface concept prioritises a small number of clear states, what is present, how confident the system is, and what changed, instead of raw sensor noise.
