RNS Number : 8894L  Gama Aviation PLC  24 April 2024

 

 

 

Gama Aviation partners with Department 13 to deliver a new counter UAS (CUAS)
proposition.

The partnership sees Department 13 and Gama Aviation working together to
exploit market opportunities in key UK special mission markets that require
dynamic airspace management.

Wednesday 24(th) April, 2024 - Gama Aviation's Special Mission strategic
business unit and Department 13 are pleased to announce a formal partnership
designed to offer UK solutions to mitigate drone threats for the UK's Air
Ambulance, National Security, Policing and Critical National Infrastructure
("CNI") interests.

Department 13's Scout, Orion, and DART solutions provide non-jamming and
non-kinetic UAS detection and counter-UAS effects to defence and commercial
sectors. The unique technology allows the creation of fixed or mobile secure
perimeters, allowing its operator to take control of a target drone or its
controller.

The use of non-jamming technologies allows for the safe and continued use of
airspace for friendly aerial systems while maintaining the integrity of the
monitored area.

Mark Smith, Managing Director, Special Mission commented: "Department 13 came
to our attention following a strategic review of the unmanned aerial system
("UAS") market. The review concluded that the primary opportunity came from
counter-UAS; an insight which is sadly being evidenced every day in Ukraine
where UAS are being used extensively. Furthermore, as an aviation company we
understand the kinetic threats that UAS pose to Special Mission operations and
infrastructure such as air bases. We also understand that it is simply not
practical for airspace to be closed by wide area jamming techniques.
Department 13's Orion and Scout systems offer a unique technology that in our
view is best suited to the management and protection from threat of airspace
surrounding prisons, CNI, military or other national security operations and
major events."

Darren Gillam, CEO, commented: "We are very excited and proud to be partnering
with Gama Aviation, and the synergistic effect both companies will have in
delivering critical C-UAS solutions for the UK. We see this as another example
of how two well-regarded companies further embrace the AUKUS relationship."

Gama Aviation will be present at this year's Farnborough Airshow and Royal
International Air Tattoo (RIAT).  For more information and to arrange a
