Liteye Systems, a Double Platinum Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, will deliver $3M in hardware for the U.S. Government’s urgent requirements during this unprecedented time dealing with COVID-19.
The add-on specialty production order for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is identified as a Critical Infrastructure Sector by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Liteye Systems Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) systems are designed to disrupt and neutralize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) engaged in hostile airborne surveillance and potential malicious activity.
Liteye Systems’ state of the art CUAS technology offers diverse counter drone solutions to combat the growing threat of malicious UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) use.

The continued advances in UAV or drone technology, and it’s use for malicious activity, has profound implications for national security, military, border security, critical infrastructure, prisons, airports, commercial and civilian life.
Liteye’s CUAS or Counter-UAS Air Defense products have been developed to answer the growing need for effective Anti-Drone solutions in this rapidly changing environment.
AUDS (Anti-UAV Defense System)
Liteye Systems AUDS System is currently deployed with U.S. forces and has numerous confirmed defeats, or kills, of enemy UAS in theatre.
AUDS is a counter drone system designed to disrupt and neutralize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
(The AUDS system combines electronic-scanning radar target detection, electro-optical (EO) tracking, classification and directional RF inhibition capability. AUDS is a smart-sensor and effector package capable of remotely detecting small UAS and then tracking and classifying them before providing the option to disrupt their activity. The system may be used in remote or urban areas to prevent UAS being used for terrorist attacks, espionage or other malicious activities against sites with critical infrastructure.

“This contract, and the recent deliveries of Liteye’s U.S. configured AUDS system continues a three-year run of consistent performance, delivering life-saving technology to our warfighters,” explained Kenneth Geyer, CEO of Liteye Systems.
“This order from the U.S. Government, and designation as part of the Defense Industrial Base Sector during this difficult time is an example of the trust Liteye has garnered with the U.S. Government to deliver much needed capability.”
“Liteye is operating at full capability and has NOT been impacted. We are taking all appropriate steps to mitigate risk to employees while ensuring Liteye can meet ALL customer demands.”
While many companies are already feeling the economic impact, the recent contract award and previously delivered products to the U.S. Government, positions Liteye to remain a stable and trusted leader within the Defense Industrial Base.
COVID-19 is having a dramatic and dynamic impact on our lives, businesses and on the global economy.
Liteye Systems is committed to lead through this pandemic, and related recovery, and take aggressive action to mitigate the impacts on employees while meeting the needs of Customers.
AUDS is an integral part of a wider networked surveillance and defense system, with its soft kill capabilities making it a very attractive option for both military, internal and border security forces.
Where the situation demands restraint under provocation and where active, yet discrete, deterrence is required, AUDS delivers a very powerful message.
The system can be operated from both fixed locations and from a mobile platform, where mobility offers both flexibility and protection.
