NIOA is developing a training payload for the SYPAQ Systems CORVO counter-small uncrewed aerial system (C-sUAS) interceptor platform.
CORVO is the Australian-designed and manufactured platform for the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA) Mission Syracuse.
NIOA’s training payload integrates a telemetry-capable power and interface controller (PIC) electronic subsystem, proximity fuze, an inert electronic safety, arming and functioning device plus an inert mass representative kinetic effector payload. The combination aims to provide comprehensive flight testing and data collection ahead of live payload qualification activities.
Hydrix, which is responsible for developing the PIC electronic subsystem, recently completed delivery of a benchtop integration system supporting software development, platform-interface communications and integration of payload subsystems.

The September issue of the 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
