The new Scan Horizon platform is engineered to detect, track, and neutralise FPV drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system utilises the principle of sensor fusion, integrating multiple sensor types for simultaneous data processing. Scan Horizon employs passive acoustic detection via a microphone array paired with AI models, AI-assisted visual target acquisition via an optical camera, and radar for calculating a drone\u2019s proximity and velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the company, the acoustic suite can detect targets at approximately 20 metres, AI tracking operates at 25 metres, and radar localisation functions at up to 18 metres. For target neutralisation, the turret utilises a <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/05\/ugv-netthrower\/\">short-range net launcher<\/a> with an effective engagement distance of 2.5\u20136 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Postup Solutions states that the system operates autonomously once initiated by the operator. Detection, tracking, targeting, and engagement are executed without human involvement in the decision-making loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the hackathon, Scan Horizon performed its inaugural autonomous engagement using a net launcher provided by Ptashka Drones. Following refinements to the engagement logic, the system executed a second successful intercept, neutralising an FPV drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company stated that the next iteration of Scan Horizon is already in development. It is expected to feature an extended operational range, upgraded sensor suites, and enhanced readiness for field deployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The functional prototype detects drones at a range of 25 m and neutralise them via a net launcher from up to 6 m<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":29242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_featured_category_order":0,"_article_badge":"featured","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[164,322,216,229],"class_list":["post-29244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecosystem","tag-fpv","tag-hackathon","tag-industry","tag-startups","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Postup Solutions unveils turret for FPV drone interception<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The functional prototype detects drones at a range of 25 m and neutralise them via a net launcher from up to 6 m.
