“Autonomous where necessary,
Federated where possible.”
HDS FUSION
The sovereign operational foundation for multi-domain awareness and defence.
HDS FUSION is the software-defined C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) platform that brings together sensors, autonomous systems, command structures, and response capabilities within a single integrated operational environment.
By correlating and fusing data from radar, RF, EO/IR, autonomous, and external systems, FUSION enables organisations to detect, classify, and respond to threats more rapidly across air, land, and maritime domains.
The platform can be deployed as a fully autonomous command system or function as an integration layer on top of existing national and NATO command structures, with both configurations utilising the same underlying architecture.
SOVEREIGNTY BY DESIGN
Sovereignty is not an option within HDS FUSION. It forms a fundamental architectural principle.
The end-user retains full control over sensor data, operational processes, intelligence products, and command authority. All processing, correlation, fusion, and orchestration can be performed locally without reliance on cloud infrastructure.
This enables deployment within the most critical, secure, and nationally controlled environments, where data ownership and decision-making remain entirely with the user.
FUSING THE FOUR OPERATIONAL DOMAINS
FUSION brings together the four system groups of HADES Defense Systems within one integrated architecture.
UAS includes UAVs, cargo drones, strike platforms, autonomous mission systems, payloads, data links, and autopilot technology.
Radar and Sensing includes radar, passive RF detection, EO/IR systems, and distributed sensing for early detection, tracking, and continuous situational awareness.
Effectors and Launcher Systems includes launcher systems, munitions, effectors and response capabilities to support sensor-to-effector workflows.
Counter-UAS encompasses detection, tracking, classification, command-and-control, and layered counter-UAS operations within a single architecture.
Autonomous Systems
Integration of UAVs, cargo drones, strike platforms, autonomous mission systems and advanced autopilot technology.
Sensing & Surveillance Systems
Integration of radar, passive RF detection, EO/IR systems, and distributed sensing architectures for continuous situational awareness.
Effectors & Launcher Systems
Integration of launcher systems, munitions, effectors, and future mission-specific response capabilities.
Counter-UAS
Integration of detection, tracking, classification and multi-layer soft-kill and hard-kill Counter-UAS operations.
Multi-Sensor Fusion Environment
FUSION integrates multiple sensing and operational layers within a single, consistent operational picture.
The architecture supports radar, RF sensing, EO/IR systems, and third-party systems via open and modular interfaces. Each sensor node can function completely autonomously, while FUSION provides correlation, data fusion, and an integrated Common Operational Picture.
Cross-layer fusion combines radar, RF, EO/IR, and external data sources into a single persistent operational picture. This increases detection reliability, improves track continuity, and reduces false alarms.
OPEN ARCHITECTURE FOR C4ISR INTEGRATION
FUSION functions as an open-architecture platform that integrates both HADES and third-party systems without vendor lock-in.
Supported standards include ASTERIX, SAPIENT and Link-16 for defence and NATO environments, complemented by ONVIF, MQTT and REST APIs for civilian and infrastructure integrations.
Existing national and NATO systems can be integrated without replacing existing investments.
FEDERATED SCALABILITY
FUSION supports deployment on telecommunications infrastructure, dedicated masts, airports, ports, offshore installations, fixed locations, mobile tactical platforms and critical infrastructure environments.
The same architecture can be deployed for border surveillance, coastal surveillance, airspace surveillance, infrastructure protection, Counter-UAS operations, and national awareness networks.
BY NATURE, MISSION-SPECIFIC
No two operational environments are identical.
Each FUSION implementation is tailored to the end-user's operational requirements, deployment environment, threat context, and security classification.
The configurations shown are reference architectures. The final system configuration, deployment topology, integrations, and operational workflows will always remain mission-specific.
The ML-HADS shown serves as a sample configuration within our C-UAS solutions. Each implementation is fully mission-specific put together by HADES based on the operational requirements and security level of the deployment location.
