What are C-UAS systems?

C-UAS stands for Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems. These are technologies designed to detect, track, identify, and neutralise drones, especially smaller ones that can pose security risks. Norway's new system is notable for its autonomy, meaning it can operate without constant human supervision, which is a significant step in protecting sensitive sites like air bases from drone threats.
