Mission · Counter-UAS
Turn any host into a
counter-drone shooter
Take the cue from any sensor or air-defence C2 and fly a cheap interceptor onto the track — GNSS-independent, under jamming, on a host already in service.
Easy to integrate
Drop it into the network you already run
Cued by any sensor or C2
Cue-in from the operator's radar, EO/IR, RF or acoustic sensors — or straight from the air-defence C2. Net into the layered defence, don't replace it.
Any interceptor
Fly the operator's own low-cost interceptor onto the handed-over track; the effector stays a commodity.
Any host
Fixed mast, pickup, UGV, truck or surface vessel — coverage placed where there is none today.
Agnostic by design, tailored in practice: the smart core is a product, but every node is configured and qualified to your air-defence layer — your sensors and C2, your chosen interceptor, your hosts. You field a counter-drone shooter adapted to how you operate, not a clean-sheet development programme.
Cost-to-kill is the axis a C-UAS buy is decided on: the interceptor has to cost less than what it brings down, and the magazine has to be deep enough to survive saturation. A single node fires in salvo from a multi-cell magazine, and the interceptor stays a cheap, competitively sourced commodity rather than a locked-in round. Durable node, attritable effector — the exchange the market calls magazine depth at a favourable cost-per-engagement.
What the box does
The launcher, packaged around the smart core
- Multi-cell magazine — folding interceptors packed dense, loaded like rounds.
- Salvo launch — multi-round ripple against a saturating threat.
- Cue-in from any sensor or air-defence C2.
- Autonomous safe-launch sequencing under electronic warfare.
- GNSS-independent launch solution — defeats jam-immune fibre-optic drones.
- Fibre- or radio-linked control — the box holds the interceptor's link from the launch point, not a separate relay.
- Mid-course handoff — fly the interceptor onto the track and net the shot.
The target set is small UAS — DoD Groups 1–3, NATO Class I–II — from FPV quadcopters and fixed-wing ISR to one-way-attack drones of the Shahed/Geran class flown in mass nightly salvos. The node sits in the hard-kill layer of a layered defence, cued by the same C2 that runs the soft-kill (EW) layer, and earns its place where EW alone fails — against autonomous and fibre-optic drones that carry no RF link to jam. Procured under the (V)SHORAD line, it flies the operator's own interceptor onto the track.

Proven in the field
The drone threat is everywhere — and the kinetic answer is scaling
From front lines to borders to city skies, attacking drones are a problem in every theatre — and the cheap, kinetic interceptor is the answer that scales. Umbra is the launch node that flies that interceptor from any host.
Interceptor drones destroyed more than 33,000 attacking UAVs in a single month — kinetic counter-UAS, at scale.
77 killed; the curve ran 5 → 107 → 233 → 260+. The threat has reached non-state actors and law enforcement.
Incursions at military installations rose 230 → ~420; the gap is mobile coverage — "nothing that follows a patrolling soldier."
