Honeywell is launching the Stationary And Mobile UAS Reveal And Intercept system to counter swarm drones. By combining beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) communication with command-and-control capabilities, the multi-layered system is capable of detecting, tracking and defeating drone swarms. It can be fitted on vehicles or fixed-based platforms.
The scalable system has been developed by integrating components from defence 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.
The US Air Force Global Strike team via STRIKEWERX/AFWERX has selected the system to demonstrate the protection of high-value assets from swarm drones while on the move. The demonstration will take place in January 2025.
