Aurelius Systems has announced a partnership with American Rheinmetall to accelerate the deployment of counter-drone capabilities for robotic combat vehicles used to automate supply distribution and ensure critical supplies reach the tactical edge.
“The partnership brings together Aurelius’ directed-energy platform, Archimedes, with American Rheinmetall’s robotic combat vehicles to address one of the most urgent challenges in modern defence: mobile, cost-effective, scalable protection against multi-drone threats,” said the companies in a press report.
“The battlefield demands mobility, autonomy, and resilience. By integrating autonomous directed-energy with robotic combat vehicles, we’re delivering force-multiplying technologies that operate in the most dangerous environments, helping protect warfighters while enhancing mission effectiveness,” said Michael LaFramboise, CEO of Aurelius Systems. “This partnership with American Rheinmetall supports a future where forces can sustain operations in contested environments, reduce warfighter risk, and maintain freedom of movement.”
Directed-energy counter-UAS systems offer precise engagement with multi-drone threats,” continued the press statement. “They provide a compact, low-SWaP-C platform that reduces costs and logistical burden compared to traditional systems.
