Images & references

A clear picture of what you see.

Answers about the website’s images, sensor models and manufacturer references.

Are the images photographs of deployed VAERN systems?

The environmental images and the VIGIL, SCOUT, NEXUS and CORE product visualisations are AI-generated or AI-edited illustrations. They show a visual direction and planned applications. They are not documentation of built VAERN hardware, completed integrations or actual deployments. The operator workspace is also generated; the HAMMER interface shown on its monitor is a separate, authentic screenshot.

Which sensor models inform the illustrations?

The visual references are the Weibel XENTA-M5 radar, MyDefence Watchdog 202 passive RF detector and Copenhagen Sensor Technology SENTINEL HD Ethernet visual and thermal pan/tilt camera. These are products from Danish companies. Olive green and black are the chosen visual palette; the illustrations do not establish a standard colour, exact scale or validated physical arrangement for the manufacturers’ products.

Are the three STRIKER effectors real products?

Yes. SkyWall 100 from British OpenWorks Engineering is a net-capture launcher; STING from Ukrainian Wild Hornets is a kinetic interceptor; PITBULL from Danish MyDefence is an RF jammer. The page uses real photographs. Official Ukrainian Brave1 documents STING in use by Ukrainian units, and MyDefence documents front-line use of the PITBULL 100/101 family, including Ukraine. The Ukraine references do not apply to the SkyWall 100 photograph and do not establish a VAERN integration.

Which helicopter is shown beside the hangar?

The Air Force scene illustrates an Airbus H125 with skid landing gear, a compact cabin and a conventional tail rotor. Its olive-green finish and the hangar setting are illustrative choices. The image does not document a specific air base, an actual Danish Air Force aircraft or a VAERN deployment.

What is real in the HAMMER images and animation?

The HAMMER images are authentic screenshots of the training software with synthetic data and simulated commands. The interactive 3D sequence and line diagrams are drawn illustrations of an intended workflow. They are not live sensor feeds, performance demonstrations or evidence that the physical system has been built.

Are the manufacturers VAERN partners?

Product names and manufacturer references describe publicly documented examples. They do not imply a partnership, endorsement, compatibility or completed integration with VAERN. Physical interfaces and any future integration must be agreed and validated with the relevant suppliers.
