Drone Mitigation Systems
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliers
BlueHalo has been selected by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center (CCDC AvMC) Aviation & Missile Technology Consortium as one of two providers for the Next-Generation Counter-Uncrewed Aerial System Missile (NGCM).
The company is leveraging a long corporate heritage in proven C-UAS technologies to expand its layered defense solutions with a long-range missile, entering the kinetic interceptor market space and providing an agile and alternate prime within the industrial base to counter rapidly evolving drone threats.
The BlueHalo NGCM was developed in response to the U.S. Government request for a more advanced C-UAS missile technology to meet the pacing threat. NGCM goes beyond current capabilities to increase lethality and range against Group 3 UAS and other larger air threats, while enabling a rapid delivery timeline to get the technology to the frontlines quicker and more cost-effectively than alternatives.
Jonathan Moneymaker, BlueHalo’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “As we’ve seen in Ukraine, Jordan, Israel, and the Red Sea, drone attacks are increasing in number, sophistication, speed, and size –representing the fastest-evolving threat vector of the modern era.”
“Adding the increased range, reduced time-to-target, and rapid launch capabilities of our technically superior NGCM to BlueHalo’s operational, industry-defining RF and directed energy C-UAS solutions gives unmatched, layered protection to our warfighters, allies, and assets. We are honored to work alongside AMTC to expand our nation’s kinetic C-UAS capabilities and continue BlueHalo’s legacy of delivering next-generation defense technology into the hands of the warfighter.“
Jimmy Jenkins, General Manager of BlueHalo’s Defense Sector and a former air defender in the US Army, noted: “BlueHalo’s NGCM provides an agile, disruptive, technically superior interceptor to the munition industrial base, delivering unmatched protection to our warfighters and transforming our nation’s air defense systems at mission speed.”
