The
U.S. patent application, Serial No. 19/797,497, filed on September 4,
2026, 2026, is titled “Systems and Methods of Detecting and Countering Drone
Attacks by Space-Enabled, AI-Driven Counter-UAS Architecture.” The
application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Serial No.
63/940,940, filed on December 15, 2025, and describes an integrated
architecture intended to detect, classify, track, evaluate, and respond to
hostile drones and other low-altitude aerial threats over wide geographic
areas. The application has not yet been examined by the USPTO. Patent
applications are frequently rejected or allowed only with claims narrower than
those originally filed, and there can be no assurance that any patent will
issue from the application, that the scope of any issued claims will be the
same as the claims as filed, or that any patent that issues will provide
VisionWave with a competitive advantage or withstand challenge.
As
described in the application, ARGUS is intended to combine space-based
surveillance, artificial intelligence, ground-based sensing, resilient
communications, cybersecurity, command and control, and multiple types of
defensive effectors into a coordinated counter-UAS system.
ARGUS
is an architecture described in a pending patent application and remains in
development. ARGUS has not been built, integrated or tested as a system, and no
prototype of the complete architecture exists. VisionWave does not own or
operate any satellites and has no agreement with any satellite operator, launch
provider, government agency or other party for the space segment or any other
element of ARGUS. The capabilities described in this press release are those
set out in the application; they have not been demonstrated or independently
validated. Developing, testing and fielding ARGUS would require substantial
additional capital, third-party participation and government authorizations,
none of which is assured, and ARGUS has not generated any revenue.
The
patent application describes a space segment incorporating satellites equipped
with electro-optical and infrared sensors, with optional synthetic aperture
radar and RF sensing capabilities, intended to provide wide-area surveillance
and early detection. Under the described architecture, information collected
from space would be combined with information from ground-based radar, RF, and
EO/IR sensors to form a unified recognized air picture.
A
central element of the described architecture is an AI-based object-recognition
methodology designed to analyze the structural geometry of airborne objects.
Rather than relying solely on conventional image classification, the
methodology described in the application is designed to identify structural key
points such as rotor hubs, arms, fuselage features, wings, and payload
attachment points and to use multi-view information to generate virtual
three-dimensional representations of potential targets. This approach is
intended to improve classification where a target is partially obscured or
observed from difficult viewing angles; its performance has not been validated
through testing
The
application also describes multi-sensor fusion and AI-based threat assessment,
combining information from satellites, radar, RF detectors, EO/IR sensors, and
other sources. The described system is designed to update target tracks and
threat scores continuously as additional evidence becomes available and to use
those assessments within command-and-control logic to determine whether an
object should be monitored, generate a warning, or be considered for
engagement, with any engagement subject to authorization by a human operator.
Another
component of the disclosed architecture is SkyWeave™, an AI-controlled
high-frequency (HF) communications backbone, also in development, designed to
provide resilient beyond-line-of-sight command and control. As described in the
application, the HF network would dynamically evaluate ionospheric conditions,
interference, link quality, mission requirements, and other factors to select frequencies,
transmission power, antenna configurations, relay nodes, and communications
routes. The architecture is intended to maintain command connectivity when
SATCOM, cellular, microwave, or terrestrial communications are degraded,
jammed, or unavailable.
The
application also describes a security architecture for protecting command,
communications, and navigation information, including authentication,
encryption, session security, key establishment, and synchronous or
asynchronous key-exchange techniques designed for constrained and
intermittently available communications environments.
The
described system is designed to coordinate a layered mix of defensive responses
rather than depend upon a single interceptor technology. Depending upon mission
conditions, threat assessment, communications availability, rules of
engagement, and collateral-risk considerations, the architecture described in
the application would coordinate interceptor drones, RF jammers, deceptive
navigation techniques, kinetic systems, directed-energy systems, high-power
microwave systems, and other effectors. In the United States, the use of RF
jamming, navigation spoofing and certain other counter-UAS mitigation
technologies is restricted by federal law and is generally limited to specifically
authorized government agencies, and similar restrictions apply in many other
jurisdictions. These restrictions may limit the potential customers for, and
permitted uses of, ARGUS.
“ARGUS
represents our vision for moving counter-drone defense toward an intelligent,
distributed defense architecture,” said Danny Rittman, Chief Technology Officer
of VisionWave.
“The
objective is to connect detection, artificial intelligence, resilient
communications, cybersecurity, command and control, and multiple defensive
technologies into a single coordinated system. By combining space-based
awareness with terrestrial sensors and resilient HF communications, ARGUS is
being designed for the increasingly contested environments in which we believe future
counter-UAS systems will need to operate.”
The
patent application additionally describes predictive trajectory modeling and
defensive swarm concepts. Under the described approach, AI models would
forecast likely target positions and behavior, allowing defensive assets to be
positioned along predicted ingress corridors, and the architecture would
coordinate defensive drones using global sensor information, resilient HF
communications, encrypted navigation information, and local autonomous control.
VisionWave
believes the filing is a step in the development of ARGUS and is consistent
with the Company’s broader strategy of developing AI-enabled, resilient, and
distributed defense technologies intended to operate across space, RF, cyber,
autonomous, and physical domains.
