Three-Layer Defense
Every C-UAS package uses the same three-layer approach: DETECT (find the drone before it finds you), SOFT KILL (jam its control link so it loses contact with its operator), and HARD KILL (physically destroy it with an interceptor drone or direct fire). Lisa 26 ties all three layers together — sensor data feeds the AI, which decides when to jam and when to launch interceptors.
Vehicle-Specific CUAV Packages
Each vehicle type receives a CUAV package scaled to its tactical value, electrical system capacity, and crew vulnerability. The cheapest package (€2,600 for Tgb 11-24 logistics trucks) provides acoustic detection and a handheld jammer — enough to warn the driver and provide 30 seconds of electronic protection during dismount. The most expensive package (€15,250 for Archer artillery) adds radar, directed jammer, and dual interceptor drones — justified because losing one Archer reduces national artillery capability by 2 percent.
The scaling principle is economic: never spend more on protection than the asset is worth. A Tgb 11 truck costs €50,000 — a €15,250 CUAV package would cost 30 percent of the vehicle value. The acoustic-only package at €2,600 (5 percent of vehicle value) is proportionate. Strv 122 costs €8 million — the €14,550 full package is 0.18 percent of vehicle value, making it the cheapest insurance in the entire defense budget. Lisa 26 coordinates all packages into a unified brigade air defense picture where sensors on expensive vehicles protect cheaper vehicles nearby.
Lisa 26 as Force Multiplier
Individual vehicle CUAV packages are defensive — each vehicle protects itself. Lisa 26 transforms these isolated defenses into a networked system where sensors on one vehicle contribute to the protection of all nearby vehicles. RSP-72 radar on Strv 122 detects a drone heading toward BV 206 300 meters behind. Lisa 26 sends the track to the BV 206 driver's tablet: "Inbound drone, bearing 045, 15 seconds to arrival — dismount now." The BV 206 has no radar of its own — it relies on the tank's sensor shared through Lisa 26. This network effect means the brigade's total defensive capability exceeds the sum of individual vehicle packages.
Training and Maintenance Requirements
Each CUAV package requires installation training (2 hours per vehicle crew for acoustic-only, 4 hours for full radar+interceptor) and periodic maintenance (monthly sensor calibration, quarterly jammer power verification, annual interceptor canister inspection). Lisa 26 tablet operators need Level 1 training (5 hours of tablet operation as part of the standard 40-hour drone operator course). The maintenance burden is intentionally low: acoustic sensors have no moving parts and last 5+ years. RSP-72 radar is solid-state with expected 10-year lifespan. Jammer electronics require protection from moisture and vibration but no regular servicing beyond visual inspection of antenna connections.
