Defense Contractor Expands Presence in Counter-Drone Technology
L3Harris Technologies has begun delivering its VAMPIRE counter-drone systems to the US Army under a $106 million order, while also completing the first flight demonstration of its Red Wolf air-launched vehicle from an MH-60 helicopter. The VAMPIRE system provides reconnaissance and precision-strike capabilities against drones and other remotely piloted aircraft, and has accumulated over 350,000 operational hours in European combat operations. The developments reflect L3Harris’ efforts to expand its presence in counter-drone technology and weapons systems designed for deployment from multiple military platforms.
