00:00.030 --> 00:00.890
(murmur)

00:00.890 --> 00:01.800
- [Narrator] Today, the threat is not

00:01.800 --> 00:04.260
from small arms or IEDs.

00:04.260 --> 00:05.386
It's from above.

00:05.386 --> 00:08.392
(yells in foreign )

00:08.392 --> 00:12.538
(automatic gun shot sound)

00:12.538 --> 00:15.337
Consumer drones, flown by ISIS.

00:15.337 --> 00:17.450
(automatic gun shot sound)

00:17.450 --> 00:21.533
Small quick, hard to hit
outfitted with grenades.

00:22.442 --> 00:24.140
(tense orchestral music)

00:24.140 --> 00:25.210
- [Narrator 2] A drone attacked one

00:25.210 --> 00:27.140
of the UKs busiest airports

00:27.140 --> 00:28.770
has left tens of thousands

00:28.770 --> 00:31.153
of passengers facing major disruption.

00:39.150 --> 00:41.310
- [Solder] From the
battlefield to everyday life.

00:41.310 --> 00:43.400
The threat that drones
pose cannot be denied.

00:43.400 --> 00:45.940
In the past year or airways
has seen a threefold increase

00:45.940 --> 00:48.440
in activity that has
impacted the lives of others.

00:51.680 --> 00:53.730
Hydra is a system agnostic command

00:53.730 --> 00:55.270
and control platform that we built

00:55.270 --> 00:56.780
to ingest dissimilar counter

00:56.780 --> 00:59.683
unmanned aerial systems,
detectors and effectors.

01:06.610 --> 01:07.910
- working shoulder to shoulder.

01:07.910 --> 01:10.390
We were able to integrate
NATO partner platforms

01:10.390 --> 01:11.453
in mere hours.

01:13.670 --> 01:16.230
- We co-located operators
across the entire air bases.

01:16.230 --> 01:19.170
Cut Manning 75%, cut the kill chain 83%

01:19.170 --> 01:21.020
and gave commanders more
situational awareness

01:21.020 --> 01:23.480
than they have ever had
at this battle space.

01:23.480 --> 01:25.220
Hydra combined all of these systems

01:25.220 --> 01:27.080
into one cohesive control center

01:27.080 --> 01:30.070
and provided a combined
common operating picture

01:30.070 --> 01:31.330
for operators (plane engine
roaring) and commanders.

01:31.330 --> 01:33.011
I'm like taking back their superiors.

01:33.011 --> 01:35.660
(plane engine roaring)

01:35.660 --> 01:38.010
Our cross functional
team built agile airman

01:38.010 --> 01:40.300
across six air bases providing training

01:40.300 --> 01:41.133
and building skills

01:41.133 --> 01:43.363
from multiple joint
partners across Europe.

01:44.580 --> 01:46.570
With tactics tested and proven

01:46.570 --> 01:49.120
over 120 live fire battle drills.

01:49.120 --> 01:50.730
We hone the skills of operators

01:50.730 --> 01:51.750
and taught ground forces,

01:51.750 --> 01:53.340
how to detect, identify, target

01:53.340 --> 01:55.440
and defeat drones of all shapes and sizes.
