XTEND reports operational SKYLORD GRIFFON deliveries to U.S. Army special operations
XTEND reported that dozens of SKYLORD GRIFFON counter-UAS interceptors had been delivered for operational use by U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
Why it matters
Dozens of completed deliveries and operational use provide exact-product field evidence for GRIFFON, distinct from a prototype demonstration or unfulfilled order.
Evidence notes
- Additional deliveries reached other special-forces users and airports worldwide, without named customers or quantities.
- GRIFFON is a hard-kill interceptor for Group 1 and 2 commercial off-the-shelf drones and uses a single-use effector.
- The system can interface with external detection or command-and-control systems, operate up to three miles from launch and reach up to 80 miles per hour.
