Guardian-1 Interceptor is a counter-drone interceptor designed for one-way attack drones, including Shahed-136 and Geran-2, and other Group 3-class unmanned threats.
Guardian-1 Interceptor
Kinetic counter-UAS built to defeat swarm economics
Shahed-136 / Geran-2 swarms are a math problem. Current intercept costs of $500K - $2M per shot against drones costing only ~$20K fail at scale. Swarms drain inventory and overwhelm point defense systems.
Designed to defeat Shahed-136 / Geran-2 economics with a kinetic intercept solution built for volume.
Battle Tested
Confirmed intercepts and kills in active combat zones
Technical Specifications
High-speed intercept platform with
combat-proven components
User Instructions
Single-operator launch with radar-assisted targeting
Target Designation
The navigator receives target designation from the radar crew based on azimuth and gives the command to take off and direction.
Manual Launch
The pilot takes off and goes to the interception square using manual flight control.
Radar Correction
The target is displayed on radar so it sees both the target and interceptor and corrects the flight.
Visual Intercept
When approaching the pilot finds the target visually through the camera, approaches and destroys the target.
Manufacturing Scale
Built for volume production with rapid capacity expansion
Built to defend forces and critical infrastructure from Shahed/Geran swarms
