About Gobi
Gobi is Harmattan AI’s high-speed UAS interceptor for defeating hostile Group 1–2 UAS. It can neutralize a target in approximately one minute from launch, giving defence operators a rapid counter-UAS response.
The interceptor autonomously validates engagement parameters, calculates an intercept, navigates toward the target and adapts its trajectory in flight. Onboard sensing and computer vision refine the terminal impact solution, enabling a fully autonomous hit-to-kill interception without ground dependency.
