The ARKA Integrated Anti-Drone System (SHIELD SIA) represents an immediately necessary operational capability, achievable with existing industrial resources in Romania.
Low-altitude attack drones are today's highest cost-effectiveness asymmetric threat. The answer is depth zone-defence — domestically produced and network-deployable at national scale.
The Integrated Anti-Drone System is a modular low-altitude air-defence solution — early detection, automatic identification and engagement at maximum effective range, with absolute inhibition of civilian and friendly aircraft. SIA is not a collection of individual systems; each node is a cell of one integrated organism.
Why a networked battery — and why now.
Conventional point-defence is costly, scarce and cannot cover the extended perimeter of an urban centre or strategic objective. The design philosophy eliminates single-supplier dependency through a national-integrator architecture: ARKA designs the system and manufactures the mechanical, electrical and software structures, while specialised electronic and fire components are procured from multiple interchangeable suppliers — without redesign.
Each node is two physically separate modules — detection and fire — so recoil never disturbs the optics.
Every node joins a detection network and a fire network, coordinated by the central C2 — "The Eye".
All sensors from all nodes fuse data in real time at C2. Multi-node triangulation sharpens precision, erases individual blind zones and auto-compensates jamming of one node via its neighbours.
Firepower is coordinated centrally. The system allocates engagements automatically — the node with the optimal angle fires while the others are inhibited, eliminating ammunition waste and friendly fire.
Dynamic scales and weighing systems that process up to 5040 parcels/hour, available in various degrees of complexity.
Reliable, high-throughput conveying systems that handle mixed product flows and keep your courier and logistics operation moving efficiently.
Intelligent diverting and sorting solutions that accurately route items at speed, reducing mis-sorts and boosting throughput across your operation.
Efficient weighing solutions which can later be upgraded to include various other systems according to the clients' needs.
Scalable solutions akin to the powered roller conveyor — but also flexible ones such as the belt, or gravity conveyors.
Weighing solutions that can process up to 5040 parcels per hour, available in various degrees of complexity.
Easily integrated and programmable diverting solutions, designed to streamline the workflow.
Systems providing unitary solutions for the sorting process, which can be customized to fit the client's needs.
Computerized industrial robots, in-house electronics and agnostic software — working together on our own production floor.
To ensure optimal results and avoid disrupting the client's processes, every ARKA product comes wrapped in a full support program.
We've invested in custom-made equipment to make sure we deliver on pace with our production capacity of up to 5 lockers per day.
We've streamlined the deployment process as much as possible — for both our autonomous and non-autonomous parcel lockers.
Using robust training materials, we train client personnel at commissioning and whenever the client deems necessary for new staff.
Our specialists are glad to provide support for any questions you have, or take action using coordinated IT and video monitoring.
Through our software, different kinds of interventions can be scheduled to be executed by ARKA or courier-company representatives.
We've provided solutions for clients in automotive, metallurgy and aviation — crimping, assembling, measuring, verifying and labeling. We focused that accumulated knowledge on the logistics and courier industry.
A product by itself has very limited intrinsic value — its value is directly proportional to how well it solves a client's problems. That's why ARKA offers multiple communication channels.
