Drone Interceptors

When speed and precision are critical, the interceptor employs its onboard directed-energy system. Stabilized EO sensors acquire the hostile UAV, while the gimbal locks tracking even against erratic maneuvers. Within 8–11 seconds of sustained exposure, the laser disables the intruder, neutralizing reconnaissance or strike drones before they close distance. With endurance of up to 2 hours and an intercept radius of 30 km, the platform can maintain loiter while waiting for authorization, then strike instantly once the rules of engagement permit. This option is favored in sensitive zones where collateral effects must be kept to an absolute minimum.

For situations where the mission demands certainty—even against hardened or shielded targets—the interceptor carries a single precision munition. Launched under operator control, it closes on UAVs at speeds up to 140 km/h, delivering a rapid, physical kill. Kinetic engagement is typically reserved for low-population areas, critical border sectors, or open terrain, where collateral risk is low and the priority is absolute denial of enemy access. Coupled with real-time guidance from the ground sensor network, the weapon ensures that even drones resistant to jamming or directed-energy countermeasures can be decisively removed from the airspace.
