BAE’s Malloy arms its T-150 cargo drone with rockets to hunt attack drones

Malloy Aeronautics, a BAE Systems subsidiary, unveiled a counter-drone version of its T-150 heavy-lift drone carrying a three-pod launcher for laser-guided APKWS rockets. During a joint experimentation exercise with the U.S., it downed several one-way attack drones in quick succession without reloading. Maryland-based SURVICE Engineering helped adapt it to Army requirements, but the exercise date, location and number of targets were not disclosed.
