has secured a US military contract worth up to $500 million to support counter-drone operations under Joint Interagency Task Force 401. The agreement focuses on deploying scalable and lower-cost AI-enabled systems designed to intercept hostile drones threatening US forces and strategic facilities. The company will provide several autonomous platforms, including the Merops air-to-air interceptor, Bumblebee quadcopter, and Hornet strike drone. Some of these systems are already operational within the US Central Command region. The platforms combine computer vision, radio-frequency sensing, and jam-resistant communications to detect and engage threats while keeping human operators responsible for lethal-force decisions. The contract structure allows flexible procurement over three years depending on evolving operational requirements.
