Army Eyes Low-Cost Solution To Drone Swarm Threat

Raytheon has successfully tested a reusable version of its Coyote counter-drone system, which can defeat drone swarms without relying on large numbers of expensive interceptors. The Coyote Block 3 Non-Kinetic drone hunter showed its capabilities during a recent Army demonstration, knocking out at least 10 drones and then landing in a recovery net for reuse. This development is part of the Army’s broader counter-drone effort, known as Low, slow, small Unmanned Aircraft Integrated Defeat System, or LIDS. The test was reported by AeroTime.
