Leonardo DRS and BlueHalo have successfully demonstrated a new Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) using Directed Energy (DE) technology on a Stryker vehicle. Designed to defeat Group 1-3 UAS through both kinetic and non-kinetic methods, the system showcased its capabilities in a recent demonstration in Socorro, N.M. Multiple drones were destroyed using BlueHalo’s 26kW LOCUST Laser Weapon System, alongside a 30mm remote weapon station, effectively eliminating all targets over two days. The Stryker also features advanced kinetic effectors, including the USA R400 30mm RWS and the 2.75” Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, complemented by DRS’s RPS-92 nMHR radar for long-range detection and weapon cueing.
