Visitor consultations continued in front of the TMS-20M identification camera. TBT made its debut at SEECAT 2026, held in Japan from September 30 to October 2, showcasing its counter-drone system and the TMS-20M camera for target identification. The exhibition attracted significant interest from defense and public-sector representatives throughout the three-day event. On the opening day, three media organizations, including NHK, visited the TBT booth, highlighting growing interest in counter-drone technologies. A Three-Stage Counter-Drone Solution: Detection, Identification, and Neutralization TBT introduced its counter-drone system based on three key stages: Detection, Identification, and Neutralization. STEP 1DetectionSpotting approaching aerial objects STEP 2IdentificationVisual confirmation of drones with the TMS-20M STEP 3NeutralizationRF jamming · RF-based drone takeover The TMS-20M, one of the main products showcased at the exhibition, plays a critical role in the identification stage by providing visual confirmation of approaching drones. For the neutralization stage, TBT presented solutions designed to protect critical civilian and public infrastructure. Recognizing that physically destroying drones could result in explosions or secondary damage to surrounding facilities, TBT highlighted two alternative approaches: radio-frequency (RF) jamming and RF-based drone takeover, enabling threats to be addressed without physical destruction. A broadcast camera filming the monitoring and control interface demonstration. Detection and identification video is shown on one screen alongside a map. Strong Interest from Media and Government Agencies The TBT booth attracted considerable attention from both media representatives and government organizations. Media coverage and demonstrations of the system's monitoring and control interface took place throughout the exhibition, while the TMS-20M display generated continuous inquiries from visitors. Representatives from the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) visited the booth throughout the event. On the final afternoon, TBT welcomed an increased number of government-sector visitors, including representatives from the JSDF and airport authorities. Media cameras and reporters covering the equipment in front of the TBT booth. Emerging Market Trends and Opportunities Discussions with visitors revealed a growing emphasis on complete counter-drone solutions rather than individual equipment specifications. Many inquiries focused on how detection, identification, and neutralization technologies could be integrated into a unified system. The similar interests expressed by media representatives and government officials suggest that Japan's counter-drone market is entering an early stage of development, with government-led demand playing an important role. As market requirements continue to evolve, the ability to deliver integrated counter-drone systems through system integration (SI) is expected to become an increasingly important competitive advantage. Strengthening TBT's Presence in the Japanese Market Through its first participation in SEECAT 2026, TBT took an important step toward establishing its presence in Japan's counter-drone market. The exhibition provided a valuable opportunity to introduce TBT's technologies, engage with key industry stakeholders, and explore potential opportunities for future cooperation.

TBT to Showcase Integrated Anti-Drone System at SEECAT 2026

  Integrated Technologies Covering AI-Based Detection, Identification, Tracking, Soft-Kill, and Hard-Kill Countermeasures TBT Co., Ltd. will showcase its integrated anti-drone system at the Counter-Terrorism Special Equipment Exhibition 2026 (SEECAT'26), to be held at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan, from Wednesday, September 30 to Friday, October 2, 2026. Following its announcement in August regarding participation in SEECAT 2026, TBT will present a mobile anti-drone platform integrating its EO/IR cameras with radar, RF scanners, jammers, and other equipment. The company will also introduce its AI-based target identification and tracking technologies, along with both soft-kill and hard-kill countermeasure solutions.  Integrated Anti-Drone System from Detection to Response An anti-drone system is designed to detect aerial drone threats using radar and RF scanners, identify and track targets using EO/IR cameras, and apply appropriate countermeasures depending on the situation. TBT’s mobile anti-drone platform integrates radar, EO/IR cameras, RF scanners, jammers, and other systems onto a vehicle, enabling rapid response to drone threats in various environments, including urban and densely populated areas. By applying AI technology, the system can distinguish drones from birds and other similar airborne objects, while rapidly identifying and tracking detected targets. It also supports real-time situational assessment, equipment control, automatic threat-level classification, and integrated command and monitoring functions. The vehicle configuration and integrated equipment can also be customized according to operational environments and customer requirements.  EO/IR-Based Target Identification and Tracking TBT’s EO/IR camera serves as a key component of the anti-drone system, providing visual confirmation, identification, and tracking of detected targets. When integrated with radar and RF scanners, the EO/IR system can identify and track detected targets in real time. On TBT’s mobile platform, the EO/IR camera is configured to detect targets at distances of up to 2 km. Through this integrated approach, TBT provides a comprehensive surveillance and response system covering the entire process from detection and identification to tracking and countermeasures.  Countermeasure Technologies Covering Both Soft-Kill and Hard-Kill Drone countermeasures can generally be divided into soft-kill, which disrupts drone operations through radio-frequency interference, and hard-kill, which physically neutralizes the target. TBT’s mobile anti-drone platform can respond to drone threats using jamming systems and other soft-kill technologies. Its hard-kill solution identifies targets using detection radar and EO/IR imaging systems before deploying an interceptor drone to physically neutralize the threat. In particular, against threats such as one-way attack drones and low-altitude penetrating drones, which may be difficult to counter using conventional soft-kill methods, an AI-based infrared (IR) seeker can guide an interceptor to the target and neutralize it through direct impact.  Through its participation in SEECAT 2026, TBT plans to demonstrate its integrated anti-drone technologies covering the entire process from detection to response, with a particular focus on its EO/IR-based target identification and tracking capabilities. TBT will continue expanding its presence in the global security and critical infrastructure protection markets, including Japan.  Exhibition InformationExhibition: Counter-Terrorism Special Equipment Exhibition 2026 (SEECAT'26)Dates: September 30 (Wed.) – October 2 (Fri.), 2026Venue: Tokyo Big Sight, South Exhibition Hall, JapanBooth: 4H-35Exhibits: Anti-Drone System – Radar, RF Scanner, EO/IR Tracking Camera, and Jammer  

The Present and Future of Unmanned Perimeter Security Systems Driven by AI, IoT, and Drones

 Amid major demographic shifts and a declining pool of military personnel, unmanned perimeter security systems integrating AI, IoT, and drone technologies are emerging as a key paradigm in both physical security and defense surveillance.Based on a report by the National Information Society Agency (NIA), this article explores the latest trends and market outlook for unmanned perimeter security technologies, while highlighting the technological direction that TBT Inc. is pursuing for the future.Why Unmanned Perimeter Security Is Becoming Essential• Rapid Decline in Available ManpowerSouth Korea’s working-age population is projected to decrease significantly from 36.74 million in 2022 to 16.58 million by 2072. The defense sector is facing a similar challenge, with the number of 20-year-old males eligible for military service expected to decline from approximately 236,000 in 2025 to 127,000 by 2045. This demographic shift is accelerating the need to transition from manpower-intensive surveillance operations toward automated and unmanned security systems.• Overcoming the Limitations of Conventional Surveillance SystemsTraditional sensor-based perimeter security systems have recorded false alarm rates of up to 80%, often triggered by extreme weather conditions, foreign objects, or animals.
