INVISIO introduces enhanced drone awareness capability at Eurosatory 2026
Communications technology leader for mission‑critical environments INVISIO is announcing a new capability in its INVISIO T30 headset that enhances the ability for users on the ground to identify drones earlier, without requiring any extra equipment. It allows personnel to keep their hands and eyes free to take counter measures, potentially saving lives and reducing injuries.
INVISIO Drone Aware™ provides an additional mode to the INVISIO T30 headset that enhances the user’s ability to hear the acoustic sound emitted by multi-rotor drones. This allows earlier awareness compared to listening with the ‘naked ear’. INVISIO Drone Aware™ is expected to be released in Q3 2026.
The announcement is significant given the ongoing impact of drones in the field, with UK Ministry of Defence saying that in Ukraine “drones now kill more people than traditional artillery”[1].
The INVISIO Drone Aware™ mode adds to the capabilities of the T30, which offers unlimited versatility in the field with zero compromise to sound quality, hearing protection and situational awareness. The T30 headset delivers market-leading hearing protection of 31 dB SNR / 33 dB NRSA20, combining passive hearing protection with active noise reduction (ANR), all while maintaining full situational awareness.
The headset connects to INVISIO control units as well as the specially designed INVISIO P30, a versatile Push-to-Talk (PTT). T30 also offers versatile power modes, operating as a standalone headset through AA batteries as well as being powered directly from radios and through control units including the V50 Gen II, V60 Gen II and P30. The headset can also be connected to digital devices such as smartphones and laptops.
INVISIO Drone Aware™ integrates directly into the headset, eliminating the need for extra equipment, allowing users to keep their hands and eyes free for effective counteraction. In addition, by simply adding a new situational awareness mode to a system the operator already knows, no extra training is required. As a passive system, it also ensures no RF emission - a must in the field.
INVISIO Drone Aware’s effectiveness in enhancing hearing and potential awareness of drones makes it potentially life-saving for users in Special Operations and other dismounted military.
Jonathan Wassberg, Product Manager of Headsets at INVISIO, said: “Becoming aware of a drone as early as possible is extremely important. Every second matters and every second gained increases the ability to better deploy counter measures for the exposure.”
“While different technologies are available for drone detection, including radar, optic and RF, the use of acoustic enhancement in the T30 headset is practical and effective, providing enhanced situational awareness for the drone threat and ensuring the end user has their hands and eyes free to counter such an attack.”
