As swarm drones, kamikaze UAVs and loitering munitions continue to reshape the modern battlefield, the need for fast, mobile and cost-effective air defence solutions is becoming more urgent. In response to this evolving threat environment, SYS Group has introduced a new generation mobile layered counter-UAS defence architecture designed to counter asymmetric aerial threats. Led by UNIROBOTICS and supported by the group’s in-house capabilities from CANiK and AEI Systems, the solution brings together remote weapon stations, weapon systems and platform integration under a single defensive ecosystem. The result is a flexible and survivable architecture tailored to the realities of modern conflict.
One of the most notable features of the system is its decentralized design. Unlike conventional air defence structures that rely heavily on a central command node, this architecture enables each remote weapon station integrated onto 4x4 mobile platforms to operate independently with its own sensor and operator. This means that even if one element is disabled, the overall defensive network can continue functioning without collapse. The distributed structure improves resilience in contested environments, especially in scenarios involving electronic warfare, command disruption or sudden mass drone attacks. At the same time, the system can work either as part of a broader command-and-control network or as a stand-alone defence solution when required.
The architecture is built around a three-layer hard-kill protection concept. In the outer layer, the TRAKON 30 remote weapon station employs a 30x113 mm cannon capable of reaching up to 1,350 rounds per minute with adjustable firing rates. This layer is designed to engage larger and faster threats at ranges of up to around two kilometres, including loitering munitions such as Shahed-136-type systems as well as Class 1 and Class 2 UAVs under NATO classification standards. In the middle layer, the TRAKON 12.7 system uses the M3 heavy machine gun with a firing rate of up to 1,200 rounds per minute, creating a dense wall of fire against incoming kamikaze drones. In the final close-in layer, the TRAKON LITE 134 is equipped with a 7.62 mm M134 Minigun capable of firing 3,000 rounds per minute, allowing the system to neutralize smaller and very close-range threats within seconds.
Another major advantage of the project lies in the fact that all core components of the architecture, including the remote weapon stations, guns and integration elements, are produced within SYS Group by UNIROBOTICS, CANiK and AEI Systems. This integrated industrial structure offers major benefits in terms of seamless system compatibility, rapid delivery and scalable production. It also gives the end user a more reliable and uninterrupted supply chain. With its mobility, layered engagement capability and adaptable deployment concept, SYS Group’s new solution stands out not only as a tactical answer to today’s drone threat, but also as a forward-looking close air defence concept for protecting military bases, critical infrastructure and high-value installations in increasingly complex threat environments.
