At the Eurosatory 2024 exhibition, the Estonian company DefSecIntel Solution presented Eirshield, an air defense system that has artificial intelligence.
The Eirshield system is extremely effective against multicopters and fixed-wing drones. It is highly autonomous – all air defense work is performed without external support. Using an advanced radar, Eirshield independently detects airborne threats at a distance of up to 8 km. The locator works together with radio frequency sensors and EO/IR cameras. The integrated system verifies and classifies detected threats.
The air defense system uses artificial intelligence to track the target and jam radio signals and satellite navigation, depriving it of control. Depending on the level of threat, Eirshield uses different types of anti-aircraft munitions – AI drones, some types of missiles or a 12.7 mm machine gun. The modular design facilitates rapid deployment of the system. The time it takes to set up Eirshield for operation does not exceed 15 minutes.
The vehicle’s transport base is the two-link Bandvagn 206 all-terrain vehicle from AE Systems, which increases the Eirshield’s cross-country capability in difficult terrain. This Swedish-designed all-terrain vehicle is familiar to the Ukrainian Armed Forces — it was provided to Ukraine by Western partners as part of military aid.
Such systems are relevant for Ukraine as a means of last line of defense against attack drones and saving on more expensive missiles of modern powerful anti-aircraft systems. The shortage of short-range air defense is also noticeable.
