Developed by Maddos and AP Flyer in collaboration with a Ukrainian partner, Poland is showcasing the ORION FCS system at MSPO. This system, equipped with either two 23mm cannons or two 12.7mm machine guns, is designed to detect and neutralize drones flying at several hundred meters.
Hard kill solutions based on anti-aircraft cannons, developed by AP-FLYER in cooperation with Ukrainian and Polish partners, are featured in this system. It integrates the MADDOS long-range 4D radar, which detects the target and transmits its 3D positional information to the fire control system. The turret is automatically directed towards the sector where the target is located, and the electro-optical module begins tracking. The distance to the target is determined, and a 3D flight trajectory of the target is calculated to accurately destroy the threat. The MADDOS RCWS can effectively destroy any type of drone at significant distances while maintaining high mobility and ease of transport.
The described defense system is particularly effective against NATO-class 1 and 2 drones, as well as against loitering munition. It is suitable for both day and night operations, with fully automatic functionality. Equipped with a main cannon of 23mm or 12.7mm, it offers an effective range of up to 2.5 km. The system uses electric drives for azimuth and elevation rotation and integrates a processing unit with a ballistic calculator, thereby optimizing engagement precision.
MADDOS is a brand owned by AP-FLYER, a high-tech security company based in Poland, specializing in anti-drone and UAV technologies. Since 2015, AP-FLYER has been active in the C-UAS market and began manufacturing VTOL observation drones in 2020. Over the years, our extensive experience has led to the creation of unique and operationally proven solutions. The trust of numerous government and military clients across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East attests to the effectiveness of the many MADDOS systems deployed to protect their critical assets.
