SkySwarm

Immediate Counter-Drone Capability Using the Weapon You Already Carry


Counter-Drone Round (Anti-Drone Munition)

SkySwarm is a cost-effective counter-drone round developed to provide rapid, squad-level protection against small unmanned aerial threats. It delivers multiple high-velocity projectiles per shot to disrupt and neutralise Class I and Class II UAS.

No specialist platform. Minimal training burden. Rapid field adoption.

  • Compatible with common NATO calibres
  • Multiple projectiles per round
  • Increased engagement probability
  • Rapid deployment capability
  • Minimal logistical footprint

The Problem

Small drones are a close-range, fast-moving threat

Class I and II UAS can appear with little warning, at short ranges, and in environments where specialist counter-UAS systems may be unavailable, impractical, or saturated.

SkySwarm provides an immediate kinetic response option at soldier level — enabling rapid engagement using familiar weapon handling.

What SkySwarm does

What is SkySwarm?

SkySwarm is a counter-drone round that deploys a concentrated grouping of high-velocity projectiles with each shot. The projectile pattern is stabilised to deliver accurate dispersion towards the threat, creating a dense engagement envelope against small UAS.

How it’s used:

Load SkySwarm rounds into a magazine, engage the aerial threat, and fire as required — in semi or automatic modes depending on platform and rules of engagement.


Key Benefits

Operational Advantages:

  • Immediate squad-level counter-drone response using standard service weapons
  • Multiple high-velocity projectiles per round to increase engagement probability
  • Minimal lead required against moving drone targets compared to single-projectile engagements
  • Rapidly deliver high projectile density during short engagement windows
  • Cost-effective kinetic counter-UAS option to complement existing systems
  • Minimal logistical burden versus specialist platforms
