MODULARITY THAT MOVES WITH THE MISSION
In today’s fast-moving threat landscape, defence systems must be more than reactive – they must be ready to evolve.
That’s the thinking behind CORTEXA GUARDIAN, Roke’s modular Counter-UAS (C-UAS) family. Designed to help forces detect, track and respond to drone threats with speed and confidence, CORTEXA C-UAS brings together sensing, autonomy and integration in one flexible ecosystem.
And it’s not just modular in design – it’s modular in deployment. CORTEXA GUARDIAN can be configured for lightweight, portable use, making it ideal for dismounted operations and mobile teams. This “modular × modular” approach ensures defence capability is as agile as the threat.
Built on open standards and designed for interoperability, CORTEXA GUARDIAN enables defence teams to tailor their response – whether protecting a mobile unit or securing a strategic base. It’s not just about what the system does today, but how it can adapt to tomorrow’s challenges.
ENABLED BY SAPIENT: INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE
At the heart of this adaptability is the SAPIENT standard – a strategic enabler that allows sensors and systems to communicate in a structured, interoperable way. SAPIENT supports plug-and-play integration, edge intelligence, and bandwidth-efficient operation – all essential for modular defence systems.
By embedding SAPIENT, CORTEXA GUARDIAN ensures that sensors can operate autonomously, share meaningful data, and support real-time decision-making – even in bandwidth-constrained or contested environments.
DETECTING DRONE SQUADS AND MULTI-VECTOR THREATS
Modern drone threats are no longer isolated. Adversaries are increasingly deploying drone squads – multiple autonomous drones operating simultaneously, often with coordinated flight paths or distributed objectives like reconnaissance, disruption, or saturation attacks.
CORTEXA GUARDIAN’s multi-sensor fusion and edge-enabled intelligence allow defence teams to detect and track multiple drone squads at once, even when they’re behaving autonomously or evasively. This step-change capability is critical for maintaining situational awareness and responding decisively to increasingly complex, multi-vector threats.
AI THAT STAYS AHEAD OF THE CURVE
From early warning to decision support, CORTEXA GUARDIAN is built to scale, integrate and evolve – helping operators stay ahead of the threat curve.
As AI becomes more embedded in defence operations, SAPIENT provides a trusted pathway – ensuring that intelligent systems remain transparent, interpretable and mission-aligned. This is how Roke models mission partner behaviour: by shaping technologies that empower human decision-makers and strengthen operational trust.
