MC2 TECHNOLOGIES

Hall 5a - J319
France
MERCAT is a drone detection system using radiofrequency analysis. It enables long-range detection, identification, and tracking of drones (up to 20 km). It has the capability to detect in highly electromagnetically saturated environments and a very wide frequency band (400 MHz - 7,200 MHz). Additionally, it uses AI analysis to avoid false alarms and distinguish between friendly and enemy drones. It features passive technology (with no interference or danger to the environment) and is suitable for outdoor use, waterproof (IP65).

Innovation character

Protection of vital sites thanks to its long-range detection and identification capabilities, in real time on any type of drone present within its range. It provides precise 360° location information across frequency bands from 400 to 7200 MHz. It is integrated onto a vehicle to provide detection capability while in motion.
