Hornet Block2 is a sealed-canister-launched, electrically powered interceptor that fills the gap between VSHORAD and SHORAD/MRAD. It delivers rapid, proportional, and cost-effective defense against kamikaze drones, ISR UAVs, loitering munitions, unguided missiles, and helicopters. Foldable wings and booster launch from canisters enable high-density loadouts on vehicles, fixed sites, and naval platforms. An AI-enabled guidance and networking suite supports swarm engagements, dynamic target allocation, and integration with existing GBAD sensors and C2 systems. A Visual Navigation System and resilient datalinks maintain guidance performance under heavy jamming and spoofing.
Destinus T150 is a compact turbojet engine delivering a maximum thrust of 150 kgf (1,500 N). Its lightweight, streamlined design makes it ideal for integration into cruise missiles and other unmanned aerial vehicles. The T150 features an innovative overhang rotor design that offers superior performance compared to competitors.
