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.
This demonstration highlighted the potential of CCAs to act as force multipliers for manned platforms, enabling collaboration between autonomous systems and human pilots. GA-ASI’s MQ-20 Avenger unmanned jet has served as a surrogate CCA for more than five years.
Diehl Defence presents the comprehensive relaunch of its highly mobile counter-UAV system 'Kinetic Defence Vehicle' (KDV) at this year's Enforce Tac Event in Nürnberg. The system will in future operate under the new name 'GARMR' (watchdog from Nordic mythology).
The Effector RCWS320C-UAS is Rheinmetall’s latest-generation remote-controlled weapon station designed to deliver reliable, high-precision protection against unmanned aerial threats. It provides scalable counter-UAS capability for tracked and wheeled vehicles and fixed installations.
The unmanned aerial systems are procured by the Defence Forces Logistics Command through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). The procurement utilises the framework agreement between NSPA and the Finnish company Boston Group Oy.
