Counter-UAS.

Secure operations in contested environments, GPS-denied, EW-resistant, kinetic defeat of hostile UAS.

The problem

The threat is cheap, fast, and arrives in numbers.

A hostile quadcopter costs a few hundred dollars. The missile fired at it can cost six figures, and there are never enough of them. Jamming fails against fiber-guided and autonomous airframes that need no link to finish the run.

Fixed sites, convoys, and forward positions all need an answer that a single soldier can carry, launch in seconds, and use again tomorrow. That answer has to work in a GPS-denied, heavily jammed environment.

Concept of operations
01

Cue

Radar, acoustic, and RF cues hand off to the interceptor. Track designation arrives before the operator ever sees the target.

Radar handoffAcoustic cueingManual override
02

Intercept

Kinetic defeat on terminal approach. No link required at the end of the engagement, so jamming the interceptor does not save the target.

Kinetic defeatLink-independent terminalSingle-operator launch
03

Defeat at Scale

Engagement profiles for multi-axis swarm attacks, with magazine depth measured in racks of airframes rather than interceptor missiles.

Multi-axis profilesRack magazine depthCost per kill
04

Hold

Persistent coverage of the site between engagements: tethered or rotating patrol, continuous surveillance, and rapid reload.

Capabilities
01

Kinetic Intercept

Direct kinetic defeat of hostile UAS. Single-operator launch.

02

Radar-Assisted Targeting

Designation from radar crew with manual override on final approach.

03

EW-Resistant Navigation

GPS-denied flight in jammed and spoofed environments.

04

Swarm Defeat

Engagement profiles for multi-axis swarm attacks at scale.

05

Critical Asset Defense

Fixed-site and mobile defense of high-value infrastructure.

06

Forward Deployment

Folded in 12 seconds. Carried in a ruck. Operated by one.

Configurations

One platform. Three roles.

Mission adaptability without platform redesign. Crews reconfigure between roles in minutes, on the same airframe.

Intercept

Kinetic Defeat

Configured for direct engagement of hostile UAS. Radar-designated launch, manual override on final approach, and terminal guidance that does not depend on an active link.

1 operator
Overwatch

Detection

Sensor-configured for persistent air picture around a site or convoy: RF and acoustic detection, track correlation, and cueing to the intercept element.

Continuous
Deploy

Forward Kit

Folded in 12 seconds and carried in a ruck. Site setup requires no runway, no vehicle, and no dedicated crew beyond the operator.

Ruck portable
Deployment scenarios
01

Fixed Site Defense

Persistent protection of bases, depots, substations, and command nodes.

02

Mobile & Convoy

Coverage that moves with the element it protects, launched from a halt.

03

Swarm Saturation

Multi-axis engagement profiles when the attack arrives in numbers.

04

GPS-Denied Airspace

Intercepts flown under active jamming and spoofing conditions.

05

Night Engagement

Thermal detection and intercept through darkness and low visibility.

06

Critical Infrastructure

Standing defense of energy, water, and telecom infrastructure.

07

Border Surveillance

Detection of small-UAS incursion along a monitored boundary.

08

Event & VIP Security

Temporary air-denial envelopes over stadiums, summits, and movements.

09

Magazine Sustainment

Forward resupply of interceptor racks between engagements.

Operational support

Mission readiness from day one.

01

Training

Operator certification in days, not months. Scenario training against representative threat profiles, degraded-link engagements, and night intercepts.

Certified operatorsScenario-based
02

Integration

Integration with existing radar, C2, and air-defense workflows, including handoff protocols, rules of engagement, and multi-unit deconfliction.

Fleet coordinationSOP development
03

Readiness

Preventive maintenance, magazine accounting, remote diagnostics, and priority parts availability for units held at readiness.

Remote diagnosticsPriority parts
