Counter-drone defence is moving from slow, costly interceptors to guns, lasers, microwaves and missiles, and the buying system is changing just as fast.
This episode covers Zelensky's claim that Ukraine now intercepts fifty to sixty percent of Russian jet-powered Shaheds, plus low-cost interceptor missiles expected this month and more than twelve automated turrets around Kyiv. We detail the four directed-energy weapons chosen for the JIATF-401 homeland pilot: Epirus Leonidas, AeroVironment, Kord Firefly and Boeing. We look at the Army's $4.15 billion counter-drone contracts, Perennial Autonomy's $500 million interceptor deal, Aurelius Systems' Archimedes laser on Rheinmetall's Ox robotic truck, and AM General's autonomous Humvee drone carrier. We also cover Project Agincourt under the new Autonomous Warfare Command, Ukraine's surge in drone and ground robot procurement, and Western components found inside captured Russian Geran drones.
