US Navy selects VAMPIRE to protect its coast against enemies; check how it works

The counter-unmanned systems (C-UxS) is intended to support the service’s integrated defence architecture in coastal and littoral areas. The system is intended to give the Navy another option for detecting and engaging drones and other unmanned threats.

VAMPIRE is designed as a vehicle- and platform-agnostic system, allowing it to be installed on different platforms. L3Harris describes it as a modular, palletised system that combines surveillance, targeting and precision-strike functions.
