RP-MLRS 24

Hard-Kill Counter-UAS System

The RP-24 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) surface-to-air rocket launcher designed to combat low-flying aerial threats, such as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). It is the primary elimination component in our Hard-Kill Counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems. Utilising a modified 57mm S-5 Rocket armed with an air-burst fragmentation warhead with a lethal radius of over 20 meters per shot, with 24 shots per rocket pod or more. The launcher tubes implement our patented “Sandwich” technology with rifled grooves, which stabilise the projectile, increasing its effective range and accuracy dramatically, allowing it to combat aerial threats.

Although, the ammunition is essentially unguided, the system utilises radar and other sensor data to detect, track and predict the movement of incoming threats, driven by our proprietary software and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. When combined with the warhead’s time-programmable fuse, the system can accurately intercept individual UAVs or drone swarms in order to protect critical infrastructure. Its relatively inexpensive ammunition offers a cost-effective solution against cheap but deadly threats.
