Ach so, Sie meinen dieses System:
Das ist kein Passivradar, sondern eine Elektrooptik. Auf dem Shelter war ein QR-Code mit der Überschrift "Drone Defence System" angebracht. Die genaue Bezeichnung ist "WISP-IR" (steht in einem Rheinmetall-Inserat im neuen "Militär Aktuell"):
Hersteller ist Anduril Industries, ursprünglich stammt der Sensor aber von Copious Imaging:Rheinmetall Lösungen zur Drohnenabwehr, in: Militär Aktuell, H 3/24, p. 50-51 hat geschrieben:Radar und passive RF (Radio-Frequency)-Erkennung sind zwar wertvoll, aber beim Einsatz von Radar besteht die Gefahr, die Position des Benutzers zu verraten, und beide können für elektronische Kriegsführung anfällig sein. Mit dem passiven WISP IR (Infrarot)-Sensor wird eine zusätzliche Ebene der Langstreckenerkennung hinzugefügt, und eine hochpräzise Verfolgung, die verschiedenen Effektoren zugewiesen werden kann. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Sensoren sendet der WISP-IR-Sensor keine Strahlung aus, was ihn immun gegen die Erkennung und Störung durch EW-Systeme macht. Darüber hinaus hat dieser Sensor den Vorteil, dass er in der Lage ist, autonome/einbahnige Angriffsdrohnen zu erkennen.
Wide-area infrared imagining with computational pixel imagers
https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020S ... K/abstractCopious Imaging is commercializing a digital-readout integrated circuit (DROIC) technology that not only digitizes, but also performs computations on the signal at each pixel. When the DROIC is mated to a photodiode detector array, the device forms a Computational Pixel Imager (CPI). The technology was in development for many years at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and now also at Copious Imaging for new application areas. CPI technology is fundamental to the operation of WISP - the Wide-Area Infrared System with Persistence. WISP is a 500-Mpix longwave infrared (LWIR) motion imaging sensor that produces imagery covering the complete surroundings, more than 2π steradians, every 2 seconds. WISP utilizes a fast scanner to cover the scene quickly. The WISP sensor is coupled with a real-time processing system that stiches the scene together from scanned swaths, performs a non-uniformity compensation, stabilizes the imagery to sub-pixel accuracy, detects motion, and tracks all moving objects of interest. The system has machine learning built-in to aid in identifying objects of interest while ignoring clutter. WISP is in use for many applications and in development for several more. We are currently evaluating WISP for use in screening for fevers.
WISP: Wide-Area Infrared System for Persistent Surveillance
Anduril’s WISP (Wide-Area Infrared System for Persistent Surveillance) is a fully passive, AI-enabled, 360-degree wide-area high quality imaging system that enables persistent automated threat detection and situational awareness. The WISP is built on a unique transformative IR imager design that combines real-time AI and a compact hardware frame to support multiple defense missions.
WISP is intended to be deployed in the field and can be used for a wide range of tasks, such as detection and identification of individuals, vehicles, or (unmanned) aircraft. WISP reduces response times and provides you with 24/7 long-range passive surveillance of areas that could previously only be monitored periodically. It improves the coverage of critical areas and blind spots and because the WISP emits no signal, it can detect without being detected which is very suitable in high-risk environments.
The WISP is equipped with a variety of sensors and antennas, including a high-gain directional antenna for long-range communication interception and a GPS receiver for location tracking. It also includes a powerful computing platform capable of running advanced signal processing algorithms, and it can be programmed with custom software to suit specific mission requirements. The WISP system can be configured to operate on multiple platforms and domains to including fixed towers, tactical vehicles, maritime assets, or simply on a tripod fixed to a structure.
https://cobbsindustries.com/wide-area-i ... veillance/The WISP is designed to be easily deployable by a single operator, and it can be set up quickly and discreetly in the field. It can be used in a variety of environments, including urban and rural areas, and it is resistant to jamming and interference.
At the heart of the system lies Lattice, Anduril’s real-time battlefield management system. Lattice uses technologies like sensor fusion, computer vision, edge computing, and machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect, track, and classify every object of interest in an operator’s vicinity.

Beim Ausstellungsbereich von Rheinmetall ist auf einem weiteren Container auch ein Anduril Industries Long Range Sentry gestanden - ohne Beschriftung oder dgl.; das System ist offenbar nicht einmal dem Reporter von "Militär Aktuell" aufgefallen. Ich habe es am Freitag zufällig fotografiert:
