Precision Guidance Across All Mission Phases

1- Fast Deployment

The threat is detected by external sensors, such as radar, triggering the interception mission. The system enables rapid deployment and immediate mission execution.

2- Autonomous Target Approach

The system continuously updates the interception trajectory in real time, adapting to target maneuvers and vehicle constraints. Advanced algorithms predict the target trajectory and guide the interceptor along the shortest path for high‑speed engagement.

3- High Dynamic Persecution for Alignment

Dynamic trajectory and interception geometry adjustment in preparation for the final phase. An extended flight envelope enables target‑referenced flight, high‑G turns and precise alignment with the target.

4- Optical Terminal Guidance or External Seeker Integration for Interception / Terminal Phase

Relative navigation to the target using a seeker or camera. Fully sensor‑agnostic architecture. High‑precision terminal guidance for accurate target engagement.

Sensor-Agnostic by Design. Control-Dentric by Necessity

Sensor‑agnostic architectures ensure seamless integration with third-party radars, seekers and cameras, while control‑centric design enables high‑dynamic maneuvers, precise guidance and autonomous operation in contested environments, where robustness, speed and accuracy are mission‑critical.

Real-Time Trajectory Adaptation

The GNC system continuously adapts the interceptor trajectory in real time through target‑referenced flight. Predictive guidance algorithms update the intercept path based on target motion, sensor inputs and mission constraints, ensuring accurate pursuit, high‑dynamic response and reliable engagement against fast and evasive threats in contested operational environments.

Battle‑proven Navigation in GNSS‑Denied for Counter-Drone Operations in Contested Environments

Battle‑proven GNC enables UAS‑on‑UAS interception in GNSS‑denied, electromagnetically contested environments. System Integrity monitoring algorithms reject unreliable navigation inputs under jamming, spoofing and meaconing, while multi‑sensor fusion (inertial, magnetometers, air data and other onboard sources) sustains precise dead‑reckoning.

Integrated visual navigation (visual odometry + terrain referenced navigation + map‑based positioning algorithms) reduces inertial drift and continuously adapts the intercept trajectory for accurate approach, alignment and engagement.

Optical Target Acquisition and Terminal Guidance for Bullseye Precision Interception

Our autopilots enable precise UAS interception by transforming target data into executable guidance. Using inputs from cameras, EO/IR payloads or external seekers, it autonomously guides the interceptor from acquisition to engagement. Advanced terminal guidance, strike modes and 4D trajectory control ensure accurate interception in high‑dynamic scenarios while enhancing operator situational awareness through real‑time visual overlays.

Swarm‑Ready Guidance and Control for Coordinated Interceptions

The GNC system enables coordinated interception and distributed engagement in saturation scenarios. Decentralized guidance based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication logic allows multiple interceptor UAS to share targeting references, distribute roles and dynamically adapt trajectories. Operationally proven swarm concepts provide a scalable and resilient response against multiple, simultaneous aerial threats in contested counter‑UAS environments.

Swarm‑Ready Guidance and Control for Coordinated Interceptions

Proven Experience in High‑G Maneuvering

More than 20 years of experience in high‑dynamic unmanned operations. Developed on demanding platforms such as target drones, the system supports aggressive autonomous maneuvers, including high-G maneuvering, sea‑skimming or terrain-following profiles. This proven background ensures the control authority, robustness and responsiveness required for interceptor and counter‑UAS missions against fast and highly maneuvering threats

Proven Experience in High‑G Maneuvering

Interception success depends on control.

Effective interception requires more than sensors, it requires precise, reliable guidance, navigation and control.

Detection alone is not enough. Flight Control defines success.

Reliable guidance, navigation and control ensure the interceptor can actually reach and engage the target.

From sensor data to executable interception trajectories.

Our GNC transforms detection and tracking data into physically achievable interception trajectories.

UAS vs. UAS: An Advanced Control System for Protection Against Aerial Threats

In the field of modern defense, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have transformed the way operations are conducted on the battlefield. However, their proliferation has created a need to develop effective countermeasures that can neutralize these emerging threats.
