AUSA 2025: DZYNE Dronebuster Vehicle Kits bring mobile counter-drone protection for convoys and sites.

DZYNE Technologies unveiled new Dronebuster Vehicle Kits at the AUSA 2025 Annual Meeting in Washington, introducing a mobile layer to its counter-UAS line for vehicles, convoys, and fixed sites. The company cites an installed base of more than 2,500 systems across 50 countries, positioning the kits for rapid fielding and networked defense.

At the Association of the United States Army’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., DZYNE Technologies introduced Dronebuster Vehicle Kits that extend the firm’s handheld and fixed-site counter-UAS portfolio to mounted operations. The company says the kits can be set up in minutes, run in autonomous or operator-controlled modes, and, when required, plug into mesh networks for layered protection of vehicles and convoy elements.

The offer consists of two paths adapted to different tempos of operations. One path is built around a Dronebuster 4 Fixed Site mounted on a pan-tilt unit, paired with an integrated DTI sensor suite and an in-vehicle operator station using TAK enabled devices. Operators can point and click, cue the gimbal, select a mitigation method, or allow the sequence to run automatically, with identification supported by AI and a continuously updated drone library. The second path is centered on teams that need fast intervention. It provides vehicle mounting for the DTI, an onboard display for TAK based situational awareness, and a handheld Dronebuster 4 for direct use when a target appears. Both options aim to keep crews informed while moving and to shorten the time from detection to action.

The DTI is described as detecting up to 30 drones at more than 7 km while distinguishing drones from controllers and assigning unique IDs to support friend or foe recognition. It covers a wide band from 400 MHz to 6 GHz and uses AI and machine learning for identification. The sensor design is passive, with zero emissions, to reduce the signature and avoid adding energy to a congested spectrum. The Dronebuster 4 Fixed Site in the vehicle-mounted setup adds spoofing and high power jamming options against command links and all GNSS constellations, expanding the menu of countermeasures available to the operator.

From a tactical and operational angle, the value proposition lies in continuity of coverage, ease of integration, and the ability to choose between automated or handheld execution depending on the mission. The vehicle-mounted autonomous path favors routine patrols, perimeter security, and convoy escort, where crews benefit from persistent surveillance and repeatable workflows. The handheld path favors short-notice interventions and mixed terrain where crews must rapidly shift from driving to engagement. TAK compatibility supports a shared picture across vehicles and dismounted elements, while optional networking across multiple nodes allows wider corridor coverage. For forces that operate in urban areas or near critical infrastructure, the flexibility to switch between jamming and spoofing, or to withhold emissions entirely until a high-confidence detection is achieved, is relevant to rules of engagement and to deconfliction with other radios.

DZYNE states that it has expanded its counter-UAS line and doubled the Portland workforce in 2025 to meet demand, which indicates a ramp in production capacity and a push toward layered defense architectures. Contact points are provided for further information or to schedule demonstrations at the show. For readers tracking programmatics rather than specifications, these details suggest a company aligning its manufacturing footprint with recurring mobile C UAS requirements.

The appearance of vehicle-mounted kits at a major U.S. defense event reflects the broader shift from static counter-drone sites to mobile, distributed protection. As small commercial platforms and short-range military UAS proliferate in conflicts and in gray zone environments, demand grows for systems that travel with convoys, plug into existing C2, and scale across large areas without extensive setup. Adoption, however, will hinge on national rules for jamming and on how coalition partners harmonize spectrum management on shared routes. In practical terms, forces that standardize around TAK and compatible networking can integrate these vehicle kits more easily across mixed formations, but the pace of fielding will still be shaped by regulatory clearance and by doctrine for layered air defense at the tactical edge.
