A Swedish defense technology startup is aiming to disrupt the counter-drone landscape with a low-cost, high-speed interceptor designed to meet the growing threat of small unmanned aerial systems. In an interview with NextGen Defense, Karl Rosander, CEO of Nordic Air Defence (NAD), detailed the company’s development of the Kreuger100 — a compact interceptor designed to […]

– Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. has unveiled Acoustic Resonance Mitigation (ARM), a pioneering technology that disables drones using directed acoustic energy. ARM works by emitting sonic, ultrasonic, and/or subsonic waves at a drone, thereby inducing vibrations and /or Prandtl layer instability that will lead to flight failure. Propeller blades are especially vulnerable to ARM’s power, […]

The U.S. Navy says it is working to reduce the growing costs of fighting Houthi drones launched from Yemen by placing two new experimental systems on destroyers that are slated to deploy later this summer. “We’re going to be deploying the Ford strike group with two additional missile systems on our destroyers — the Roadrunner […]

In a remarkable feat of collaboration, the Swedish Air Force, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), and Saab together with partners have successfully evaluated concept “Loke” in a mere 84 days. This innovative new capability is designed for detecting and countering hostile drones, marking a significant advancement in counter-drone technology. Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) solutions have become […]

For too long, effective drone detection has remained out of reach for many organizations. High costs have limited access to the kind of airspace awareness that multi-site critical infrastructure locations, airports, stadiums, and law enforcement need to protect against unauthorized drone activity. Since 2015, US-based AeroDefense has been at the forefront of drone detection technology. […]

–BlueHalo has announced  the successful live fire demonstration of its Next-Generation C-UAS Missile (NGCM)–Freedom Eagle-1 (FE-1), addressing the critical need for munitions industrial base expansion to meet the rapidly evolving advanced aerial threats. “In light of recent global events, including activities in Europe, the Red Sea and Taiwan, we’re taking a proactive stance–increasing internal investments […]

Russian propaganda media, citing Mikhail Filippov, head of the Russian project Archangel, report that the project’s specialists, who train unmanned aerial vehicle crews, have modified one of the kamikaze drones, increasing its speed several times. “We made a hybrid with a vertical takeoff, and then it switches to ‘wing mode’ and flies like a rocket,” […]
