Le forze di difesa estone e le tecnologie Marduk dimostrano capacità di contromarcia all’avanguardia a “Siil 2025”

> During the live-fire phase of the Estonian Defence Forces’ largest military exercise, “Siil 2025” (Hedgehog 2025), a major technological milestone was achieved in the realm of counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). On 20 May 2025, at the Rutja coastal training area in northern Estonia, the Scouts Battalion, in cooperation with Estonian defence company Marduk Technologies, successfully field-tested the Piraya passive drone detection and targeting system, integrated atop a CV90 infantry fighting vehicle.
>
> This marked the first time the Piraya system was used in a live-fire setting integrated with the CV90’s turret. The integration was successful – 6 quadcopters were detected, tracked, and brought down with precision including one that was successfully engaged from a range of two kilometers. In addition, several larger fixed-wing model aircraft, acting as more advanced aerial targets, were also successfully neutralized.

> All targets were engaged using the CV90’s 35 mm Bushmaster III autocannon, demonstrating the system’s capability to hand off passive detections directly to the vehicle’s weapon operator for fast and accurate engagements.
