Honeywell is launching its new Stationary And Mobile UAS Reveal And Intercept system, designed to counter drone swarms.
The system integrates beyond-visual-line-of-sight communication with advanced command-and-control capabilities, enabling detection, tracking, and interception of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Suitable for both mobile and stationary platforms, it is aimed at safeguarding critical assets.
“Modern warfare is rapidly changing and the threat swarm drones pose to high-value assets can have a devastating effect on military operations,” said Matt Milas, president, Defense and Space, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies.
“Our Stationary And Mobile UAS Reveal And Intercept system is a highly reliable, scalable and fully integrated defensive system that has been developed after extensive research and testing with the needs of military operators in mind.
“This system’s multi-layered defensive capabilities set it apart in the industry and enable it to not only track and detect, but also defeat multiple threats. We’re excited to demonstrate this technology for the Air Force and are confident the system can provide critical new capabilities on the battlefield.”
The U.S. Air Force Global Strike team, through STRIKEWERX/AFWERX, has selected Honeywell’s system for an upcoming demonstration in January 2025, showcasing its effectiveness in defending high-value assets from swarm drones during operations on the move.
The system integrates components from key defense partners, including Blue Halo, Leonardo DRS, Pierce Aerospace, Silent Sentinel, Walaris, Rocky Research, and Versatol. It combines radio frequency detection and optical sensor technologies to identify and neutralize drone swarms effectively.
