L3Harris, Turkish firm Skydagger to establish US co-production of FPV interceptors
The deal would allow L3Harris to equip its Vampire c-UAS platform with a small interceptor drone for the first time.
The proliferation of drones in modern warfare, particularly FPV interceptors and loitering munitions, is driving urgent demand for effective counter-drone solutions.
This collaboration signifies a critical acceleration in the development and co-production of advanced counter-UAS capabilities, essential for modern battlefield dominance.
L3Harris will now integrate small interceptor drones into its Vampire c-UAS platform, enhancing its ability to combat emerging drone threats through a transatlantic partnership.
