Press Release // HPA Demonstrates Sawtooth for Finnish and Other European Authorities
High Point Aerotech demonstrated the Sawtooth system with DefenseOS at the Tech Runway at Helsinki East Aerodrome on September 1st for military and police organizations from across Europe.
The event exemplified High Point Aerotech’s ability to defend against UAS threats. In partnership with Securify AB of Sweden, we were able to successfully demonstrate automated detection, tracking, and identification with the integration of passive RF sensing from MyDefence, radars from Echodyne, and optics from G5 Infrared. During and after the demonstration, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback, all of which was made possible by our impeccable partners, such as Echodyne and MyDefence.
"High Point Aerotechnologies and Echodyne have collaborated on C-UAS solutions for many years,” said Eben Frankenberg, Echodyne CEO. “We’re pleased that HPA has now integrated our newest radar, EchoShield, into their Sawtooth CUAS system, taking full advantage of the radar’s reliability and precision. When combined with High Point’s software and hardware engineering – EchoShield should maximize C-UAS capabilities for HPA’s customers."
Morten Johansen, CCO of MyDefence, added, "We are excited to collaborate with High Point Aerotech, utilizing our Watchdog passive RF sensors. We take immense pride in the rigorous development standards of our sensors and it's truly gratifying to witness HPA seamlessly integrate our sensors into the Sawtooth system, providing impressive results. We firmly believe in the power of partnerships, and HPA is a highly esteemed collaborator with whom we value our ongoing relationship."
Dirk Manley, a senior executive at High Point Aerotech states, "The strategic partnerships we have forged with Echodyne and MyDefence have significantly enhanced the value proposition of the Sawtooth system. By bringing together our respective expertise, we have developed a world-class solution that combines unmatched detection capabilities with unrivaled defeat capabilities."
