Belgian defense firm Thales is developing a low-cost laser-guided rocket to help Ukraine counter Russian drone swarms, the latest development in an ongoing effort by EU members to supply affordable air defense systems. The 70mm FZ275 LGR is designed to detonate mid-air, releasing a cloud of tungsten fragments capable of destroying low-flying drones. Priced at under $10,000 […]

Taiwan’s National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology has introduced a 2.75-inch (7-centimeter) Rocket Turret Vehicle capable of taking on drones and small surface threats. Designed for coast guard operations, the vehicle pairs a seven-tube rocket launcher with an electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor suite, giving operators the ability to track and engage fast-moving targets in congested […]

Robin Radar got into drone detection in the early 2010s, when the company needed predictable targets to validate its bird-spotting radars, founder and CEO Siete Hamminga recalls. In the end, the company turned to drones, their controlled flight allowing to validate detection – a practical move that would prove to be fortuitous. Today, drone detection […]

The recent rise in unidentified drone activity near airports, military sites, and critical infrastructure demands faster, smarter multi-domain awareness. In response, Terma has stepped up, helping deploy an integrated counter-UAS solution across multiple strategic locations, protecting critical infrastructure and military installations. At the heart is an array of multiple SCANTER radars, combined with battlefield-proven Ultra-High […]
