Tactien Group Unveils CAST Platform for Counter-Drone System Testing

• •Tactien Group launched the CAST platform for counter-drone evaluations.
• •CAST standardizes performance scoring for various counter-UAS systems.
• •The platform aims to improve procurement decisions for critical infrastructure.

The Tactien Group has launched CAST (Counter-UXS Assessment & System Testing), a software platform designed to evaluate counter-drone systems for critical infrastructure. The platform allows end-users to assess detection systems in their specific environments, scoring each vendor against a standardized set of performance metrics. This initiative addresses the gap where procurement decisions are often based on vendor specifications rather than real-world performance. The CAST platform evaluates various key performance indicators (KPIs) such as detection probability and classification accuracy. Tactien's advisory team conducts thorough testing, including site surveys and red-team flight planning. The platform is set to integrate assessments for ground, maritime, and underwater unmanned systems by Q1 2027. This launch is particularly relevant for utilities, refineries, data centers, and military installations, which are increasingly adopting counter-UAS technologies.
