Leonardo DRS Explains How Army Counter-UAS Mission Is Evolving

Leonardo DRS has been heavily involved in mobile counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) efforts including the U.S. Army M-SHORAD (Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense) Increment 1 program, also known as SGT STOUT, which provides an air defense capability for ground maneuver forces against low-altitude aerial threats. The company is now preparing for the forthcoming M-SHORAD Increment 4 program, which requires a vehicle-agnostic, reconfigurable, palletized or “sled”-based air defense capability.

TWZ’s Jamie Hunter spoke in-depth with Joe Rolwes, Director of Business Development at Leonardo DRS, about how mobile air defense is evolving and the various technologies that are being employed.
