Built to Hunt

Modern airspace is under siege. Iranian-designed Shahed loitering munitions are proliferating across every active theater—Ukraine, the Red Sea, the Middle East—and legacy air defense was never designed to fight $30,000 drones with $4,000,000 missiles. The math doesn't work. The INTERCEPTOR 1 was purpose-built to fix it.

At 200+ mph, the INTERCEPTOR outruns every loitering munition, ISR platform, and commercial drone on the modern battlefield. It doesn't wait for threats to arrive—it hunts them. Autonomous target acquisition, AI-driven pursuit, kinetic kill. One operator, one tablet, one drone.

No radar batteries. No missile trucks. No fixed infrastructure. Field-packable and deployable anywhere in the world, the INTERCEPTOR delivers counter-UAS capability at drone-scale economics—turning the cost equation back against the adversary.

The drone threat is global. The response needs to be faster, cheaper, and everywhere. This is it.
