The Stationary And Mobile UAS Reveal And Intercept system by Honeywell has been chosen by the U.S. Air Force Global Strike team, through STRIKEWERX/AFWERX, for a critical demonstration of its anti-swarm drone capabilities.
The system will be tested in January 2025, where it will showcase its ability to defend high-value military assets against drone swarms during on-the-move active operations.
The demonstration will highlight the system’s advanced multi-layered defenses, which combine beyond-visual-line-of-sight communication and command-and-control capabilities. The system is designed for use on both mobile and stationary platforms, making it ideal for protecting valuable assets on the move.
“Modern warfare is rapidly changing and the threat swarm drones pose to high-value assets can have a devastating effect on military operations,” commented Matt Milas, President, Defense and Space at 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 system has been developed by integrating components from defense manufacturers such as Blue Halo, Leonardo DRS, Pierce Aerospace, Silent Sentinel, Walaris, Rocky Research and Versatol. These components include radio frequency detection with sensor technology that uses light to detect, track and identify objects as well as offensive drones to counter swarms.
