Dubai Airshow 2025 – Calidus Unveils DAMITA, Its C-UAS Solution Against Swarm Attacks

Layered defense strategies remain the most effective approach to counter drone attacks, particularly those involving swarms of UAVs.

Calidus, a defense company, presented its new counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) named DAMITA at the Dubai Airshow 2025. This solution is designed specifically to defend against swarm attacks from multiple drones operating simultaneously.

DAMITA’s Features and Capabilities

Multi-layered Defense: DAMITA integrates a combination of sensors and interceptors to detect, track, and neutralize swarming UAV threats.
Swarm Targeting: Capable of addressing complex swarm tactics by managing numerous drones in coordinated attacks.
Flexible Deployment: The system can be adapted to different environments and platforms, enhancing operational versatility.

Industry Context

The increasing use of drone swarms in hostile scenarios has driven the development of advanced C-UAS technologies. Most experts agree that no single measure suffices; layered solutions employing electronic warfare, kinetic countermeasures, and advanced tracking provide a comprehensive shield.
