Autonomous EW · Protection Systems

DOMINANCE OF THE INVISIBLE DOMAIN.

Kettner Aerospace builds autonomous electronic-warfare and protection systems for unmanned and manned platforms. We turn the tactical edge into a strategic sensor and keep the warfighter connected when the spectrum is denied.

The Portfolio

Sense. Protect. Respond.

Four programs, one portfolio. The most mature, now in prototype testing, turns a single detection into a coordinated team response. Alongside it: a passive targeting sensor, GPS anti-jam protection, and airspace awareness sensing.

SYS / 01Autonomy

COLLABORATIVE AUTONOMY

Multi-Vehicle Teaming System · Prototype Testing

Our most mature line. Coordinated small-UAS behaviors that turn one detection into a coordinated team response.

  • Detection and activation as one event, no operator in the loop
  • Team behaviors that envelop a target from multiple axes
  • Surplus vehicles hold overwatch and reassign autonomously

SYS / 02EW · ESM

PASSIVE TARGETING

Autonomous Airborne EW System · In Development

A single unmanned platform becomes a strategic sensor. It passively detects, classifies, and geolocates emitters without revealing itself.

  • Single-platform passive geolocation, no multi-ship coordination
  • Cognitive AI classification, no pre-built RF library dependency
  • Silent in standalone mode, zero emissions and full survivability

SYS / 03Assured PNT

GPS PROTECTION

Adaptive Anti-Jam Protection Line · In Development

Military-grade GPS protection that fits where incumbents can't. It keeps the platform navigating through jammed and spoofed environments.

  • Dynamic anti-jam that automatically steers protection toward threats
  • No separate electronics or compute module; fully integrated
  • Drop-in replacement that needs no receiver modification

SYS / 04Sensing

AIRSPACE AWARENESS

Airspace Sensing Program · Research & Development

Low-SWaP sensing that gives unmanned platforms an honest picture of the traffic around them, built on our passive RF architecture.

  • Passive and active sensing approaches under exploration
  • Designed as a detection feed for certified decision systems
  • Sized for small unmanned aircraft first
