Calidus Holding Group has announced the launch of DAMITA, the first fully integrated counter-drone defence system developed in the UAE. This advanced technology is engineered to detect, track, and neutralize AI-enabled and swarm drones, ensuring robust protection for urban areas, borders, and military facilities.
DAMITA integrates several autonomous defence layers within a singular AI-powered framework. The system amalgamates detection capabilities with command and control features and drone neutralization methods to provide rapid and effective responses to evolving aerial threats. Centralized AI command and control (C2) software orchestrates coordinated actions and accurate responses.
Dr. Khalifa Murad Alblooshi, CEO of Calidus Holding Group, expressed pride in presenting DAMITA, stating, "With this launch, we showcase our expertise as a comprehensive system integrator. By fusing detection, AI control, and varied defeat mechanisms into one platform, we're offering a dependable and mission-ready defence solution developed entirely in the UAE."
Addressing sophisticated drone threats, including AI-powered systems capable of autonomous navigation and precision targeting, DAMITA is engineered to counter single and swarm attacks—making it an essential resource for security and defence undertakings.
Equipped with radar, full-spectrum RF scanners, and EO/IR sensors, supported by advanced AI algorithms, DAMITA distinguishes drones from birds with high precision. Upon threat detection, it can swiftly employ electronic jamming, powerful lasers, or cutting-edge air-burst interceptors, offering both hard kill and soft kill alternatives, minimizing collateral damage in urban settings.
With capabilities including the interception of up to 20 drones per minute, a portable laser for immediate response, and On-the-Move (OTM) functionality for real-time detection and engagement, DAMITA operates effectively in both stationary and mobile scenarios, safeguarding sensitive locations.
By advancing autonomy and scalable solutions, DAMITA marks a pivotal leap in drone defence technology. It equips authorities and defence agencies to respond effectively to the escalating threats from AI-integrated drones and swarm tactics. Its adaptability, immediacy, and accuracy render it ideal for diverse security operations, from urban protection to safeguarding critical military installations.
The introduction of DAMITA underscores the UAE's advancements in cutting-edge defence technologies while affirming Calidus Holding Group's dedication to pioneering innovative, locally sourced solutions. This system is poised to be instrumental in future security measures, reinforcing the safety of citizens, infrastructure, and national interests against emerging aerial threats.
