About Iron Drone Raider

Iron Drone Raider is an autonomous counter-UAS platform that physically captures hostile small drones. A launch station holds the interceptor ready for rapid deployment, while command-and-control and radar inputs initiate an engagement. The aircraft navigates to the target, tracks manoeuvres in real time and completes a controlled kinetic interception without depending on GPS or radio-frequency jamming.

The system is designed for continuous readiness and reusable operation around military sites, public-safety areas and critical infrastructure. Target classes include micro drones, multirotors and fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft. Recovery hardware returns the interceptor for subsequent missions, making Raider an integrated counter-UAS ecosystem centred on the exact interceptor aircraft.
