Protecting Power Infrastructure with CoreTalon C-UAS: A Multi-Layered Defense Solution

Protecting Power Infrastructure with CoreTalon C-UAS: A Multi-Layered Defense Solution.

In an era of growing threats from small, agile unmanned aerial systems (UAS), critical infrastructure such as power plants has become increasingly vulnerable. Whether it’s espionage, sabotage, or accidental disruption, rogue drones pose a serious risk to the uninterrupted operation of energy facilities. CoreTalon C-UAS offers a robust, scalable solution to safeguard power plants through advanced, multi-sensor integration and coordinated interception.

A Collaborative Architecture for Critical Asset Protection

The CoreTalon C-UAS system employs a collaborative multi-device architecture designed to detect, track, and neutralize unauthorized drones before they reach sensitive zones. Its core strength lies in the seamless integration of long-range radar (or RF detection), high-precision electro-optical (EO) systems, and self-destructive interception drones. These components work together to form a cost-effective, layered defense network specifically suited to the security requirements of power infrastructure.

Layered Coverage, From Detection to Neutralization

Radar-Based Early Warning
Deployed around the perimeter of the power plant, CoreTalon’s radar systems provide wide-area surveillance and early detection of incoming drones at long distances. With 360-degree coverage and the ability to operate in all weather conditions, the radar acts as the first line of defense, alerting the system of potential threats in real time.

Electro-Optical Precision Tracking
Once a target is detected, EO sensors engage for high-resolution visual tracking and threat confirmation. These sensors deliver pinpoint accuracy, enabling security personnel or automated systems to verify the drone type, payload, and trajectory—ensuring no false alarms or unnecessary engagements.

Kinetic Interception with Killer Drones
For threats that require active neutralization, CoreTalon deploys kinetic-intercept drones equipped with net-capturing or self-neutralizing mechanisms. These “killer drones” are dispatched autonomously or manually to intercept and disable unauthorized UAVs before they breach critical zones, minimizing the risk of damage to sensitive equipment.

Real-Time Data Sharing and Command Integration
All components of the CoreTalon system are connected via high-speed data links, enabling real-time information sharing and coordinated responses. This networked approach ensures that every device operates in sync, reducing response time and enhancing overall situational awareness. The system can also be integrated with existing security platforms and command centers for centralized control and automation.

Built for Reliability and Adaptability
Power plants often operate in challenging environmental conditions, from remote locations to industrial electromagnetic interference. CoreTalon C-UAS is built with ruggedized components and has been tested for all-weather operation. Its modular design allows for flexible deployment configurations—whether fixed, mobile, or hybrid—making it adaptable to a wide range of site layouts and security needs.

Securing the Backbone of National Infrastructure
With over 20 patents in radar technology and certifications aligned with national standards, CoreTalon is recognized as a high-tech enterprise committed to innovation and security excellence. As power plants become high-value targets in modern threat landscapes, CoreTalon C-UAS provides a future-ready shield to protect the energy backbone that powers everything else.
