CHAOS Industries has introduced two interceptors designed to be low-cost and provide point and area defence against Group 1–3 uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and one-way attack threats.
The VESPID family of interceptors is interoperable with CHAOS’ multistatic radar systems. VESPID Mk 0 is man-portable and designed for harsh environments. VESPID Mk 1 is a faster, more manoeuvrable variant designed for high-density installations with a multi-tube launcher.
The company expects to achieve an initial production capacity of 12,000 interceptors per year, with the capability to expand to 50,000. It raised USD 510 million in funding led by Valor Equity Partners in November 2025.
