This next-generation device, designed by Advanced Protection Systems, is an integral part of the SKYctrl system—a network-centric solution for detecting, tracking, and neutralising airborne threats. The Follow 3D MIMO radar is not only a detection tool but also a precise guidance tool for effectors, ranging from FPV drones to anti-aircraft artillery and dedicated anti-UAV systems.

Advanced Protection Systems – Polish technology, world-class effectiveness

The APS company from Gdynia is one of the most innovative manufacturers of radar systems in Central and Eastern Europe.  For years, it has been developing next-generation network-centric counter-drone systems that respond to the changing dynamics of air threats.  APS designs and manufactures its radars in Poland, which ensures full control over the production process and compliance with NATO standards.  The company solutions are sold on foreign markets and are used in the armed forces, special forces and the strategic infrastructure protection sector.

 FIELDctrl Follow Radar – What Makes It Groundbreaking?

FIELDctrl Follow is a 3D MIMO radar designed to work with the SKYctrl system – a modular platform for detecting, tracking and neutralising drones. The system operates in four integrated phases: warning, detection, guidance, and impact assessment, enabling command to quickly respond to emerging threats.

The radar can operate in both stationary and vehicle modes, has an effective UAV detection range of up to 16 km, and ensures precise tracking of even evasive targets, such as Shahed/Geran-type drones. Importantly, it supports stationary or hovering targets, thanks to detection from a speed of 0 m/s.

Owing to the use of AI algorithms and TWS (Track While Scan) technology, the radar automatically assigns and updates tracked trajectories, transmitting data to defence and command systems. The device's housing meets the IP66/IP67 requirements, and its compact design enables rapid deployment in the field.

Ready for action.   Ready for MSPO.

The FIELDctrl Follow radar has not been publicly presented so far; its official debut will take place at the MSPO in Targi Kielce in September. This is an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at technology that is already changing the doctrines of combating unmanned threats.  Advanced electronic components, artificial intelligence algorithms and experience gained in real armed conflict conditions – these are the features that distinguish APS and its systems from the competition.
