Mission sequence

01 · Detect

Sense the threat

Radar, passive RF, acoustic and EO/IR sensors feed an edge-AI computer that classifies quadcopters, FPV drones, VTOL and fixed-wing UAVs.

02 · Decide

Threat ranking, operator in the loop

Multi-object tracking and threat prioritisation. The ground station ranks targets; a human authorises the response.

03 · Intercept

Launch, lock, capture

From canister, catapult or vehicle the interceptor sprints to 350 km/h, tracks visually and captures with a recoverable net. No debris, no collateral.

Technical specifications

SteelFalcon by the numbers.

Autonomous counter-drone interceptor: 350 km/h sprint, edge-AI target recognition and non-destructive net capture, launched from canister, catapult or vehicle.
