Pentagon awards L3Harris a $40 million contract for the delivery of anti-drone weapon systems

The Pentagon has awarded L3Harris a $40 million contract for the delivery of anti-drone weapon systems.

By the end of the year, 14 anti-drone weapon systems are planned to be delivered.

VAMPIRE units can track, destroy, intercept, and shoot down drones. They can also detect, locate, and attack ground troops threats.

For long years, the US military has been concerned about the increasing use of drones.

Anti-drone weapon systems must evolve in tandem with drone technology. Over the previous decade, the United States and Ukraine have had a difficult relationship. Their armed forces are fighting on a fast-paced battlefield where drones are a critical weapon.
