PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Israeli defense technology company Axon Vision has successfully integrated its AI-powered EDGE ClearSky system with RETIA's radar and the TSG command-and-control (C2) system, demonstrating a unified multi-sensor capability for detecting and tracking drone threats during trials in the Czech Republic.
The demonstration brought together thermal imaging, artificial intelligence, radar detection, and command-and-control technologies into a single operational network. The integrated system is designed to provide operators with a unified real-time view of aerial threats instead of requiring them to monitor separate sensor displays.
EDGE ClearSky is part of Axon Vision's EDGE AI family of computer vision and situational awareness solutions for defense and security applications. The system uses thermal sensing and onboard AI-powered real-time image processing to rapidly detect and identify aerial threats from armored platforms or fixed positions. By combining its visual intelligence with RETIA's radar data and the TSG command-and-control platform, the system creates a single operational picture for drone detection and tracking.
The integration was demonstrated under open-field conditions designed to simulate operational environments. During the activity, the connected systems exchanged information in real time while operators evaluated the integrated setup against representative drone scenarios, including initial detection, continuous tracking, and dynamically moving targets.
According to the companies, the integrated system operated in sync throughout the testing and maintained stable performance during the evaluation. The demonstration also highlighted the operational benefits of combining radar with electro-optical sensing for counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) missions, where relying on a single sensor type may leave gaps in coverage.
The demonstration reflects the growing demand for interoperable defense architectures capable of integrating data from multiple third-party sensors into a common operational picture. Such multi-sensor approaches are increasingly being adopted as military and security forces face a wider range of low-altitude drone threats, including first-person view (FPV) drones that have become more common in modern conflicts.
Neri Zin, CEO of Axon Vision, said drone threats continue to present new operational challenges that require faster detection, improved situational awareness, and the ability to combine multiple sensing capabilities into a single operational picture.
"The successful integration in the Czech Republic demonstrates the flexibility of our EDGE ClearSky system and its ability to work seamlessly with radar and command-and-control systems. Together with RETIA and TSG, we were able to show how multi-sensor fusion can enhance counter-drone capabilities," Zin said.
The Czech demonstration also marks another step in Axon Vision's efforts to expand the integration of its AI-powered visual intelligence technology with third-party radar and command-and-control systems. Earlier in 2026, the company completed operational evaluations of EDGE ClearSky with a leading defense force, where the system was assessed against first-person view drone threats targeting maneuvering forces. Those evaluations demonstrated the system's ability to detect, track, and support AI-assisted analysis of drone flight paths, contributing to an automated detect-to-intercept process when connected with onboard weapon systems.
The latest trials further strengthen cooperation between Axon Vision, Czech defense company RETIA, and TSG. The companies said they will continue developing layered, multi-sensor counter-drone solutions designed to improve situational awareness and support defense and security missions as drone threats continue to evolve.
