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.

“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 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.

The primary objective was to assess the XM1225 cartridge’s accuracy and directly compare its performance with the legacy HEDP round under identical conditions. A secondary objective involved collecting performance data from mixed ammunition loads against both ground targets and UAS threats.

London Defence R&D’s Raptor Pilot AI Pro is a compact autopilot that adds onboard AI targeting and autonomous precision control to UAVs.
Tethered
Raytheon's Advanced Technology team will design, build, and demonstrate a system for DARPA's Pulling Guard program that consists of EO/IR sensors and detection software, deployed via a tethered drone connected to a semi-autonomous unmanned platform towed by commercial and naval logistics vessels.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has already reshaped global military thinking, but The Wall Street Journal reported that a major NATO drill last May revealed how unprepared Western forces remain for high-intensity combat dominated by drones and real-time battlefield intelligence.

Drone Killer Cartridge provides broader terminal coverage on and around the intended target, which increases effectiveness against stationary and moving drones by helping offset imperfect aim. There's a good reason why bird hunters use shotguns...

A non-kinetic effect, provides two key advantages: It minimizes collateral damage, and it provides a cost-effective option to clear the airspace of the cheap, commercially available drones that adversaries are using to threaten, spy on and attack U.S. and allied forces.

The Joint Interagency Task Force 401, JIATF-401, announced it has awarded a $5.2 million agreement to Perennial Autonomy for the Bumblebee V2 counter-drone system to provide U.S. forces with a low-cost, low-collateral kinetic interceptor to defeat illicit drones at home and abroad.
