Autonomous Counter-UAS Interceptor Drone
A software-defined counter-drone system that intercepts high-speed aerial threats in RF-denied environments, with zero reaction time at the moment of engagement.
The missing tier of air defense. A low-cost kinetic interceptor that handles the cheap, mass threats, so your high-end systems stay ready for what only they can stop.

The cost of stopping cheap threats is broken
Loitering munitions and long-range one-way attack drones now arrive in mass, and each one can cost only a few tens of thousands of dollars.
Stopping one with a guided missile can cost a hundred times more. Air defense stockpiles were never sized for that exchange ratio. Every expensive interceptor spent on a cheap drone is one that is no longer available for a ballistic threat.
A kinetic interceptor that thinks at the edge
Onboard computer vision and edge computing let the interceptor find, track, and close on its target without GPS and without a clean RF link.
The operator designates and commits the target. From that point the interceptor completes the engagement on its own, even if the link drops in the final seconds. The engagement decision stays with a human. The reaction time does not depend on one.
How the counter-UAS system works
Autonomous Target Lock
Computer-vision tracking that holds the target in GPS-denied and RF-denied conditions, with no reliance on a continuous data link.
Terminal Engagement
High-speed pursuit and intercept, closing the final distance faster than an operator could react.
210–390 km/h
Airspace Denial
Continuous, layered coverage over the assets you need to protect, holding a defended volume of airspace.
Combat radius up to 20 km
Low-cost interception changes the exchange ratio

Return per dollar committed
One of the battle units we work with has, within one month, converted $400K in interceptors into $6.1M in neutralized threat value, a 15x return on every dollar committed. This is what makes coordinated, low-cost counter-UAS viable at the scale modern airspace demands.
Built for the way air defense actually gets spent
Zero reaction-time engagement
Terminal guidance runs onboard, so there is no pilot fatigue and no missed window at the decisive moment.
A fraction of the cost per intercept
Kinetic interception at a small fraction of the cost of a missile-based engagement, which keeps your high-value effectors in reserve.
NATO-codified and proven
Built on a NATO-codified, operationally proven military anti-drone supply chain, with the certifications defense buyers require.
The C-UAS system at a glance
Counter-UAS, explained
What is counter-UAS (C-UAS)?
Counter-UAS, or C-UAS, means the systems and methods used to detect, track, and stop unmanned aircraft. C-UAS stands for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems. It covers everything from radar detection to electronic jamming to kinetic interceptors like this one.
How does a kinetic interceptor differ from jamming or RF-based counter-drone systems?
Jamming and RF-based systems try to break the link or the navigation of a drone. That works less well against threats that fly a preset course or lose their link on purpose. A kinetic interceptor physically stops the threat, which makes this counter-UAS technology effective even when the target is autonomous or operating in a denied RF environment.
What threats can the interceptor engage?
This drone interceptor is built for the fast, low-cost aerial threats that saturate modern airspace: reconnaissance and ISR drones, loitering munitions, and long-range one-way attack drones.
