Capture Systems

What Capture Systems does

Capture Systems Ltd. is an Israeli defense technology manufacturer, headquartered at 6 Ravnitzki St., Petach-Tikva, that designs and produces modular multi-axial pan tilt positioners, counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems, and Remote-Controlled Weapon Systems (RCWS) for military, homeland security, and critical-infrastructure customers. The company's portfolio spans a nine-SKU pan-tilt family (Caracal, Lynx, Leopard, Cheetah, Jaguar, Tiger, Lion, Oncilla NG, Oncilla M1) supporting payloads from 40 kg to 100 kg, the ATID counter-drone detection platform, the CapGuard multi-layered C-UAS system, and the COBRA RCWS gimbal rated for weapons up to 50 caliber (12.7 mm). Differentiating engineering features include a SELF-LOCK-SYSTEM that retains position through power loss, an integrated continuous-rotation slipring, an aluminum envelope that suppresses EMI/RFI, and the CapTrack internal controller operating at 50–100 Hz over Ethernet-TCP and serial protocols.

Underlying technology is centered on precision motion control and sensor integration rather than on disclosed artificial intelligence or autonomy; products are MIL-STD 810G compliant and the operation holds ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications, reflecting an aerospace-grade quality posture. The company monetizes primarily through quote-based hardware sales of its positioners and integrated C-UAS/RCWS platforms, supplemented by paid custom R&D services for tailored motion, stabilization, and integration requirements. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to defense procurement agencies, military organizations, and infrastructure operators, often requiring security clearances, and is reinforced by an event-driven presence at AUSA, ISDEF, and Eurosatory.

The legal entity is a privately held Israeli private limited company with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company; ownership is described as founder-led. The company markets itself as a "world leading manufacturer" across its three core product lines and notes that, due to NDAs and security considerations, not all products appear on the public website.

Direct peers

• DroneShield: Listed Australian counter-UAS / UAS provider offering detection and defeat products. Overlaps with CapGuard/ATID in the C-UAS market and competes for similar military and homeland-security procurement dollars.
• Dedrone: Counter-UAS / airspace awareness vendor with detection and mitigation offerings. Direct competitor to CapGuard/ATID for layered counter-drone programs at airports, prisons, and defense sites.
• Fortem Technologies: Counter-UAS specialist offering detection radar and interceptor drones. Competes head-to-head with CapGuard for layered defeat solutions, including kinetic options analogous to SnapGuard.
• Liteye Systems: U.S. counter-UAS and rugged surveillance/EO systems integrator. Comparable as a smaller defense specialist competing in multi-axis EO/IR tracking and counter-drone markets alongside Capture Systems.
• D-Fend Solutions: Israeli counter-UAS company providing drone detection and takeover solutions. Directly comparable to Capture Systems in C-UAS (ATID, CapGuard), Israeli origin, and defense/homeland-security customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Rafael Advanced Defense Systems: Israeli defense prime whose Samson RCWS is a direct competitor to COBRA, and whose Drone Dome competes with CapGuard/ATID in counter-UAS. Comparable Israeli-incumbent counterpart for Capture Systems' two flagship lines.
• Teledyne FLIR Defense: Major EO/IR sensor and gimbal manufacturer for defense. Overlaps directly with Capture Systems' EO/IR payloads and stabilized pan/tilt integration work, though at far broader scale and product depth.
• Elbit Systems: Israeli defense prime covering C-UAS (ReDrone), RCWS, and EO/IR systems. Comparable across almost all of Capture Systems' product lines, while operating at vastly greater scale through Manned Aircraft, Land, and C4I divisions.
• Moog Inc. Large U.S. motion-control and precision-systems supplier serving aerospace and defense. Comparable to Capture Systems' pan/tilt / gimbal activity (Caracal, Lynx, Cheetah, etc.), but as a much broader portfolio incumbent.

Regional players

• Kongsberg Gruppen: Norwegian defense prime whose Protector remote weapon station competes with COBRA across NATO militaries. Comparable in RCWS targeting and stabilization technology, though primarily serving European and NATO-program customers.
