The Counter Unmanned Rapid Engagement System (CURES) is a modular cost effective system developed to combat the commercially available Group 1 UAV epidemic. Demand for a system to detect, identify and engage this threat has opened up a large military and commercial area. The objective of this program is to rapidly create, evaluate through test, and insert technology for countering the most proliferated small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and drones, and demonstrate the technology to transition end users. As a modular system, CURES can be adapted to integrate different or additional sensors, defeat mechanisms, and/or ground cueing inputs. This research will ultimately lead to a family of systems that can be used to protect friendly forces from small UAV / drone threats.
