New Player Enters Low-Cost Interceptor Market With Versatile Design
Defense tech startup CHAOS Industries has unveiled a new family of small low-cost interceptors, dubbed VESPID, with two variants designed for different operational environments. The Mk 1 variant integrates with Coyote launchers, meeting a key requirement for the Army’s Next Generation C-sUAS Missile program. While not currently under contract with any militaries, CHAOS Industries is participating in several domestic and international competitions with both variants. The company plans to produce up to 12,000 interceptors per year at its El Segundo, Calif. location. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
