Florida startup’s $5k Guardian interceptors head to UAE for drone defense

Florida-based startup Powerus is building its modular Guardian drone interceptors at a UAE facility, selling for about $5,000 each and produced at 3,000 per month with a target of 15,000 monthly by 2027. The system, modeled on a Ukrainian design, features a 340 kph burst speed, 160 kph cruise, 15 km range, and 28 minutes of endurance, and while promising, cannot counter ballistic missiles. Powerus recently secured a $22.3 million contract to protect Middle Eastern oil and gas infrastructure, and the UAE is pursuing sovereign capability alongside continued US sourcing.

Israeli Tech Turns Soldiers Into Drone Interceptors Against Hezbollah’s Fiber-Optic Threat

Hezbollah’s fiber‑optic drones, which are hard to jam, are pushing Israel to adapt. Israeli company Smart Shooter uses optic‑based fire-control systems that stabilize aim and track fast-moving targets, enabling soldiers to perform kinetic interceptions of drones. The software-driven approach can be updated in the field to counter evolving threats, turning ordinary troops into rapid, precise drone interceptors without extra platforms.
