A modified Malloy Aeronautics T-150 uncrewed aircraft has intercepted multiple one-way attack drones during a US military experiment at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
During trials held from 21 to 25 September, the aircraft, designated TRV-150, used a three-pod launcher to fire BAE Systems’ laser-guided APKWS rockets at multiple targets in succession without landing or reloading. The experiment was conducted as part of the US Office of the Under Secretary for Research and Engineering’s Mission Capabilities Joint Readiness Experimentation exercise, alongside SURVICE Engineering.
SURVICE adapted the TRV-150 to meet US Army requirements, while BAE Systems’ FalconWorks division developed and integrated the APKWS modification. The trials build on a July 2025 demonstration in which an adapted T-150 fired a precision munition for the first time.
The T-150 has also been used by UK armed forces for tactical logistics, including carrying supplies between ships during the Royal Navy’s eight-month Indo-Pacific deployment in 2025. The partners plan to explore the platform’s counter-drone role in maritime environments.
