Axon Vision announced today that it has received an order from Leonardo DRS for the delivery of its new AI-based system for C-UAS missions. Valued at approximately USD350,000, the contract covers the delivery of an initial set of systems that provides end-to-end detection, classification, tracking, and interception of aerial threats (C-UAS) and other rapidly evolving threats requiring immediate response.
“This order represents a further step in the strategic cooperation between Axon Vision and Leonardo DRS, following the partnership agreement signed in late 2025,” said the company in a press release. “Leveraging Leonardo DRS’s proven expertise in advanced sensing and system integration with Axon Vision’s field-tested AI technologies for perception, autonomy, and threat classification, the cooperation agreement aims to deliver AI-enabled mission systems that enhance platform survivability, situational awareness, and lethality across multiple operational domains.
“The new C-UAS systems are designed to support U.S. defense and homeland security forces and are scheduled to participate in a series of operational evaluations and live exercises across a range of manned and unmanned ground platforms. These activities are expected to support the validation of emerging operational concepts in counter-UAS and mobile force protection missions and to demonstrate the systems’ flexibility, modularity, and readiness for deployment in diverse scenarios.
