Arkeus' Warden System to Enter Service with Australian Army on January 1, 2025
What happened
Arkeus' Warden Hyperspectral Optical Radar (HSOR) is scheduled to enter service with the Australian Army on January 1, 2025. The system is intended to provide wide-area domain awareness for the Army’s Integrator UAS under the Tactical Uncrewed Aerial System (TUAS) program. The Australian Army has confirmed the acquisition of the first tranche of Warden systems for deployment.
Why it matters
The acquisition is part of the Australian Army’s TUAS Program to support tactical level intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements for Army’s Combat Brigades. The introduction of Warden enhances the Army’s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) posture by enabling persistent, wide-area surveillance.
