SkyDefense LLC of Brighton, CO introduced right now their AI- enabled eVTOL interceptor, “CobraJet”. CobraJet is an autonomous tactical battery-powered jet that’s able to detecting, monitoring, figuring out and neutralizing enemy drones at lengthy distances and at excessive velocity (200+ mph). CobraJet offers for the safety of individuals, infrastructure (energy vegetation, oil refineries, factories, borders) and services (army bases, stadiums, arenas) from assaults from hostile unmanned aerial automobiles.
CobraJet is a subsequent era interceptor jet (6.0 ft lengthy x 5 ft wingspan) and shares options with each the 5th era Lockheed F-35B and F-22. CobraJet has a carbon fiber monocoque airframe and might take off and land vertically (VTOL) and is supplied with thrust vectoring nozzles to offer it superior maneuverability. CobraJet might be armed with VIPER air-to-air rockets with patent-pending PYTHON electroshock payloads and might neutralize kamikaze drones after which return to its base to be rearmed.
CobraJet is powered by high-energy density solid-state batteries and geared up with an AI-assisted flight controller/autopilot, day/night time digicam, and inertial sensors for autonomous flight 24/7, additional VTOL permits a squadron of CobraJets to launch from cell platforms comparable to a truck, ship or one other plane (C-130).
The SkyDefense Command and Management (C2) is mixed with “VRAM” (Visible Realtime Space Monitoring) Mission Management. VRAM incorporates an AI-powered working system and rapidly analyzes the info from CobraJets for evaluation and maintains operator-in-the-loop within the determination chain.
CobraJets can function in contested electromagnetic environments using progressive jam-proof radios and jam-proof GPS receivers. Satellite tv for pc communication (Starlink) is being thought-about to permit CobraJets to function much more successfully in EW environments.
CobraJet and VRAM Mission Management might be built-in into different C2 techniques however may function as an efficient standalone multi-layer C-UAS system with CobraJets distributed at a distance across the protected space with SkyDefense’s “Distributed Space Protection System”. The jets “eyes and ears” offering an extended vary, early warning system for SkyDefense C2 and its patented RAPTOR surface-to-air guided missiles.
“Our USA made CobraJet neutralizes hostile drones with its on-board munitions and returns to its base for one more mission. Consequently, our drone mitigation price is a fraction of the price of typical counter-drone strategies utilized by the army. CobraJet is stealthy and might fly low and quick and due to this fact be efficient towards the most recent threats from USVs and UGVs.” states Nick Verini, President, SkyDefense LLC.
SkyDefense C2 and VRAM might be housed in a tactical/armored Cybertruck for Legislation Enforcement/DHS and Navy obligation. This cell configuration is constructed to thrive within the harshest environments and has low acoustic and thermal signature making it harder to be situated by enemy sensors.
CobraJet and VRAM Mission Management can be obtainable by the second quarter of 2025. For extra info see www.skydefensellc.com
