Expendable target surrogates, launched by the stack, with nobody on the sticks — running entirely on your network.
Commercial RC platforms are what the threat actually is — the fidelity is correct. Everything around flying them is what limits how much testing a program can run.
Every airframe in the air needs two people. Multiply by travel, equipment prep, and the hours spent coordinating a pilot team across a test window.
Communication gaps mean aircraft fly paths the test officer didn't ask for — and often the test officer can't verify what was actually flown.
A single event may need several different RF signatures presented. Today that means different aircraft, or reconfiguration between sorties.
Six aircraft means six pilots, six observers, and a deconfliction plan nobody has time to write. So defeat systems get evaluated one target at a time.
Support cost — crews, travel, coordination, airspace time — decides how much testing a program can actually run. Not the price of the airframe.
An integrated system rather than an airframe. The target aircraft are consumable; the capability is everything around them.
Preloaded flight profiles, quick-swap radio bay, and a field-swappable communications module.
Vertical pneumatic magazine on a small footprint. Deployable and unattended. Releases one aircraft, a partial salvo, or the full stack on a single command.
Hosted on your hardware and your network. Holds every piece of state and brokers every message.
Browser-based fleet and magazine management — inventory, readiness, faults, and tasking across every rack and site.
Nothing phones home. No vendor cloud to accredit, no external dependency in a degraded environment, and no question about where your test data went.
Protosun Solutions is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business in York, Pennsylvania. Our founding team combines counter-UAS red team experience with enterprise security architecture — we've flown the threat, and we've built the compliance programs.
Roughly seven years running red team support for counter-UAS events — flying, building, and integrating Group 1 through Group 3 platforms across fixed wing, multirotor, and VTOL.
Army aviation leadership, airworthiness release and exception-to-policy processes, and airspace authorization coordination — in house.
