Counter Unmanned Systems

Lock & Track 🇮🇱 SMASH 3000 from Smartshooter (@smart_shooter_) is a combat-proven family of fire control systems which are designed to increase the Probability of Hit (POH) against small UAS. "Powered by advanced image processing and machine learning, SMASH provides precise target acquisition and tracking capabilities, that enable accurate engagement of static and moving targets across various operational scenarios-ground, C-sUAS, maritime, and more - day or night."

CUSWeekendpost87 NOMAD 🇺🇸 Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions (HMS) is part of the Hendrick Motorsports Group founded by Rick Hendrick. HMS has been making various mission solutions under its production facility for commercial and government clients. “Our integrated facility brings together advanced engineering, rapid prototyping, machining, composites, and system integration to move concepts quickly from design to production. Backed by motorsports speed and defense-grade standards, we deliver reliable, field-ready solutions on accelerated timelines without sacrificing precision or performance.” NOMAD is a small form factor tactical unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) built with a rugged, low-maintenance chassis engineered for reliability in austere and contested environments. Its open architecture model offers flexible operation modes, including autonomous, teleported control for remote missions, and manual drive. Operational Advantages 🔽 - Expanded Lethality - CUAS integration - Power Export - CASEVAC Capability - Resupply Support Last year in September, HMS announced partnership with Scout AI on NOMAD. "Building on Scout's mission to deliver next-generation, camera-only autonomy, NOMAD combines Vision-Language-Action (VLA) reasoning with rugged, commercial off-the-shelf hardware. By eliminating costly and fragile sensors and relying on fully learned models, Fury provides human-like judgment in real time while maintaining a low-cost, low-signature footprint."

Vengeance 🇺🇸 Moog (@Moog_Inc) unveiled a modular, lightweight and scalable CUAS solution. In partnership with Echodyne, Aeon, Dillon Aero & Arnold Defense and Electronics, the latest offering from Moog is designed for agility, precision and mission adaptability. "Vengeance Built for the modern battlefield with the operator in mind. You place it, arm it, and reload it. Every component serves a purpose because drones come in all sizes, each presenting their own unique challenge. You don’t go to combat with a single magazine, so why defend against evolving threats with a single solution?" - Pedro Ramos, Lead Counter UAS Program at Moog Space and Defense Group Learn more >> tinyurl.com/3m396587

🇺🇸 SRC (@SRCdefense) announced that it has been selected as one of six winners in the U.S. Army's xTech | Live competition held during the eMerge Americas 2026. SRC was recognized for an innovation within its Silent Impact system—a high‑altitude, modular payload architecture engineered to deliver scalable, non‑kinetic electronic warfare effects from the stratosphere. "Our Silent Impact family of systems are rooted in decades of experience in electronic warfare and small form factor systems, and we are excited about its potential to provide scalable, non-kinetic effects in support of distributed operations." - Kevin Hair, president and CEO of SRC Learn more >> tinyurl.com/43njundt

🇺🇸 Anduril (@anduriltech) introduced Voyager Gateway 1 (G1), rugged, body-worn compute and communications systems for dismounted operator. "Voyager G1 turns every dismounted operator into a node on the Lattice Mesh, Anduril’s software platform for connecting sensors, systems, and operators across the battlespace. The device supports data sharing, voice communications, and live video across dispersed teams, allowing units to continue operating even when disconnected from higher headquarters or traditional infrastructure." According to Anduril, Voyager G1 has already been tested during recent INDOPACOM exercise. Learn more >> tinyurl.com/y9zd883z
