"LIDS is operationally deployed, providing a proven, reliable, and essential layer of defense against enemy drones."&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3840382-1&amp;h=109813860&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.raytheonmissilesanddefense.com%2Fwhat-we-do%2Fcounter-uas%2Fsensors%2Fkurfs&amp;a=KuRFS+precision+targeting+radar">KuRFS precision targeting radar</a>&nbsp;and the scaled Ku720 mobile sensing radar deliver persistent detection, identification and tracking of airborne threats. The Coyote Block 2 defeats single drones and swarms varying in size and maneuverability, and at higher altitudes and longer ranges than similar class systems.The U.S. Army's LIDS integrates KuRFS and the Coyote family of effectors with Northrop Grumman's Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control system, or FAADC2, and Syracuse Research Corporation's electronic warfare system. Together, these systems create a multi-mission fixed, relocatable, or mobile deployed system that provides a complete extended-range defense solution. &nbsp;
