Latvian defence technology company ORIGIN and US defence technology company Anduril have demonstrated an integrated counter-uncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) capability to senior Latvian military leadership, combining ORIGIN’s BLAZE interceptor with Anduril’s Lattice for Air Defense command-and-control platform.
The demonstration took place at a military training facility in Latvia in late October, just over a month after the companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 25 September. BLAZE operated as the interceptor within an integrated air defence configuration using Lattice alongside an existing radar system already deployed for Latvian air defence.
According to the companies, the technical integration of BLAZE into Lattice took four days. The platform connects sensors and effectors through a central command-and-control system, providing operators with a coordinated operational picture.
BLAZE is a radar-guided autonomous interceptor designed to engage aerial threats including drones and loitering munitions. It uses radar data to guide its onboard autopilot towards a target before acquiring and tracking it for interception under operator supervision.
ORIGIN and Anduril said they will continue joint testing and validation on NATO’s eastern flank, alongside developing concepts of operation for C-UAS missions.
The Fall 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.
