Lockheed Martin introduced MORFIUS X-Rotor, a reusable high-power microwave counter-drone system that the company says can disable more than 50 drones in a single mission. The company plans additional testing and accelerated prototype production as it advances the system for military use.
Echodyne has opened a new Washington manufacturing facility capable of producing more than 30,000 MESA® radar systems annually, expanding production capacity to meet growing global demand for counter-drone and defense applications while adding up to 200 jobs.
DroneShield has produced its first EU-manufactured counter-drone systems, marking a key step in expanding its European manufacturing footprint. The move supports regional defense industrial goals, strengthens supply-chain resilience and enables European customers to access locally produced versions of the company's AI-powered CUAS technology
Skyfront has secured a U.S. Army contract to field its Perimeter 8 long-endurance hybrid-electric drone alongside Army units, integrating the aircraft into existing command-and-control networks and armored combat vehicles. The company will also train soldiers and instructors and provide ongoing sustainment. The first phase was completed during a three-week Colorado deployment with partner AeroIntel Systems, where soldiers flew the aircraft on beyond-visual-line-of-sight surveillance missions at ranges up to 10 miles.
