Years Delivering Mission-Relevant CUAS Capabilities
Our Execution Methodology
Verus’ approach prioritizes mission relevance, customer requirement responsiveness, and agile development practices. We complement this approach with candid and transparent communication with our clients regarding our product capabilities — and our limitations. We fully explain what our products can and can’t do and avoid costly expenditures of time and money when a more appropriate solution might exist. We don’t conduct superficial demonstrations that prioritize technology over operational relevance. For example, we understand there is little mission value in demonstrating exquisite tracking and mitigation of UAS platforms that are highly unlikely to ever present a threat. This no-nonsense approach allows our clients the ability to critically assess our capabilities and see how Verus solves mission requirements and delivers high-performance solutions consistently.
We encourage our current and potential clients considering CUAS technologies to dismiss the ubiquitous and often shallow claims of on-trend technologies packed into products and demand straight answers of Verus and other CUAS vendors: What are the limitations? What does it cost? Are the capabilities being demonstrated applicable to the current real-world threats? What happens if the threat changes? Who are your customers and will they say the same thing? Our experience has shown that these questions are too often met with vague or restrained responses. At Verus, we provide actionable and candid responses to empower our clients to make informed decisions on addressing their requirements.
Our Design Methodology
We at Verus believe that passive radio-frequency (RF) detection technologies are a core component in enhancing personnel and facility security from the threat of UAS. However, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Customer-specific requirements may dictate a blended mix of technology. To that end, SkyView solutions provide significant performance for price, prioritize ease-of-use, and are highly extensible. These core design tenets have resulted in Verus’ products exceeding the performance of competing solutions which are significantly costlier to acquire, operate, and maintain. Our clients have demanding requirements and our products enable our clients to affordably employ a system-of-systems approach when required. SkyView has been successfully integrated with additional sensor technology including RADAR, Acoustic, and Optical sensors, as well as simple active countermeasure technologies to mitigate confirmed threats.
We possess the skills, expertise, and experience
