C-UAS
Traditional, long-range interceptor missiles are no longer cost-effective as adversaries deploy low-cost, expendable technologies in large quantities. Cannon-Based Air Defence provides an affordable, layered terminal defence with scalable manufacturing base and simplified logistics footprint.

Joint team will complete preliminary design of the GEK1500 engine to meet high performance and aggressive cost targets, leveraging GEK800 maturation to accelerate delivery.
The drone is described as a tail-sitter VTOL platform with a ducted propeller configuration, combining vertical takeoff capability with the higher cruise efficiency associated with fixed-wing aircraft.
SAHARA is an autonomous UAV-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system designed for situational awareness on and off the battlefield. It detects camouflaged positions and equipment, weapons storage. It delivers reliable intelligence data in inclement weather and during night-time operations.
The goal of the program has been to explore how an unmanned aircraft capable of firing air-to-air missiles could extend the reach and reduce the vulnerability of the launch platform, among other benefits.

“We have some of the best kit on the entire planet for shooting down air threats. The problem is to be effective at shooting down relatively low-cost missiles, drones, and other threats facing us. We need to make sure that we’re matching the cost of the threats with the cost of defence.”
The missile prototype exceeded Mach 6 and demonstrated a range of more than 300 kilometers. All systems operated normally during ascent and descent, with performance validated down to the subcomponent level at hypersonic speeds.
The workhorse of Russia’s drone fleet — responsible for crippling Ukraine's energy grid and triggering a humanitarian crisis — is built with EU technology. Despite tightening sanctions, parts for the Geran-2 are still flowing into Russia with ease.
The FV-014 is initially designed as a portable system for use at troop level and is controlled via a user-friendly ground station that enables permanent human-in-the-loop control. The operator can identify targets, fly to them, launch a precise attack or abort the mission if conditions change.
Valen's exceptional performance is powered by Northrop Grumman Microelectronics Center’s advanced packaging techniques, which combine many different semiconductor parts into one micro-sized package, so the device works faster, stays cooler and uses less power, all within a smaller footprint.
Everdrone AB is a Swedish company focused on advanced drone solutions for public benefit and emergency medical care. The company develops systems that enable rapid delivery of life-saving equipment and the collection of critical information at accident scenes.
The new initiative is set to assess the viability of a shared loitering munition platform capable of adapting for different payloads. Production will likely be distributed across the participating nations in order to boost scalability. One Way Effector 500 Plus will carry a warhead of roughly 50 kg.
The drone is described as a tail-sitter VTOL platform with a ducted propeller configuration, combining vertical takeoff capability with the higher cruise efficiency associated with fixed-wing aircraft.
The contract supports the development and production of systems designed to counter unmanned aerial threats, a growing operational concern. BAE Systems is widely known for its Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System laser-guidance kits, which have been adapted for C-UAS missions.
