Launchers
Drone launchers, one smart core
Umbra is a single open drone launcher core — munition-agnostic and host-agnostic — offered today as Umbra Counter-UAS, Umbra Strike and Umbra Box, plus the single-cell Umbra Launch Tube fired by an Umbra node or your own launch system, with the same smart core carried across new form factors as the range expands. You buy the core once and mount it many ways; the effector stays your own commodity round.
Umbra launchers
Choose the launcher for the mission
Counter-UAS launcher
Umbra Counter-UAS
Turn any host into a counter-drone shooter — cued by any sensor or air-defence C2, flying a cheap interceptor onto the track, GNSS-independent and under jamming.
- Fixed-site defence
- Counter-drone cover on the move
Loitering-munition launcher
Umbra Strike
Any host becomes a strike node — a dense magazine of loitering effectors fired in salvo across ground, surface and subsea.
- Precision fires from vehicles already in service
- Mounted tactical strike
- Maritime and subsea strike
Single-cell launcher
Umbra Launch Tube
A single launch cell configured for your effector, sized to your loitering munition or interceptor — the entry point to the range.
- Counter-UAS and Strike
- Start with one cell, step up to a magazine
Drone in a box
Umbra Box
A drone docking station — a launch unit custom-sized to a single large UAS, with recovery by configuration — cued by your own detection system, operator-in-the-loop or autonomous, no crew on site.
- Airports, prisons and sensitive sites, with optional non-destructive capture
- Military and expeditionary sites
- Maritime and offshore
- Standing ISR from a fixed site
The smart core
What every Umbra build shares
GNSS-independent launch
Establish an accurate launch solution with no satellite fix — under active jamming and spoofing, the defining condition of the modern battlefield.
Munition-agnostic
Configured for the operator's own munition or interceptor, or the matched Silentis Interceptor UAS, FPV Strike UAS or LR Strike UAS. Your own effector stays a commodity you source on the open market.
Host-agnostic
One core rides any platform — standalone, ground vehicle, unmanned surface vessel or submersible. Fit it to a host already in service and that platform becomes a launcher.
Durable node, consumable effector
The node is capital that outlives many munition cycles; the effector is the consumable re-bought each engagement — the value split procurement is already moving toward.
Built to integrate
Open at the interface
Umbra nets into a layered defence as one engage node — cued from an established open C2 backbone through documented interfaces, in line with MOSA and EU interchangeability rules, and it plugs into the C2 the operator already runs.
