CUAS and Drone Defense

The use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, is transforming military operations. As advanced drones become more common, effective Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) are essential. Capacitors are critical components in most CUAS tools, enabling modern missiles and rockets equipped with sensors to track threats effectively. Directed energy systems, which need substantial energy to disable targets, also rely on capacitors. This whitepaper offers a comprehensive guide to essential considerations for selecting capacitors for CUAS applications.
