As the skies over Ukraine grow more contested, defending ground forces from hostile drones has become one of the war’s most urgent challenges. Enter the Atlas6 Shield — a specialized electronic warfare (EW) variant of the Atlas6 platform designed to detect, disrupt, and neutralize enemy UAV threats in real time.

Unlike traditional jammers that are static or easily targeted, the Atlas6 Shield brings mobility and altitude to the EW fight. Equipped with modular payload bays, it can carry a range of electronic countermeasure systems — including directional jammers, passive RF detectors, and AI-assisted threat classifiers. By flying above and around protected assets, it creates a moving electronic barrier that adapts to shifting threats on the battlefield.

More than a defensive asset, the Shield also plays an intelligence role. Its onboard systems can scan and geolocate drone controllers, detect RF signatures, and contribute to a broader electronic order of battle. When paired with AI systems like OVES’ Nemesis or networked into a persistent relay mesh, the Shield becomes part of a larger smart defense architecture.

With its rugged build, long endurance, and NATO-compliant C2 integration, the Atlas6 Shield is already being trialed by Ukrainian forces as a frontline count

er-UAS solution. In an era where drones are the new artillery, the ability to deny airspace is no longer optional — it’s essential. And the Shield is built to hold that line.
