TBT

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.
