VESPID Mk 1
Delivers quick and reliable target defeat with minimal operator involvement, enabling effective point and area defense in contested environments.
How VESPID Mk 1 outperforms
Compatible with the ISS Aerospace HAL10
Compatible with the existing 10-round ISS Aerospace HAL10 launcher. Other higher-count options can include a 20 ft ISO container.
Modified COTS architecture
Modified commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drone architecture with an electric ducted fan engine enables high-volume, low-cost production and eliminates the fuel, maintenance, and logistics burden of turbojets.
On-demand, radar-guided intercept
Minimal spin-up time, with an engagement timeline optimized for Group 1–3 UAS. Midcourse guidance via CHAOS radars or external C2 reduces seeker search volume, and a direct radar datalink improves anti-jam performance. A COTS long-wave infrared (LWIR) seeker with AI handles acquisition and terminal guidance.
150 meters per second cruise. Under 100 seconds to target.
