Israel Shipyards Debuts AREONOUS, an Autonomous Net-Launcher for FPV Drone Defense
Israel Shipyards unveiled AREONOUS, a scalable autonomous counter-drone system featuring a ground-based net-launcher and an interceptor drone. It can protect airports/bases up to 50 km or serve as a 200 m soldier-portable kit, using Echodyne radar, Controp camera, and Innoviz LiDAR to detect and entangle FPV drones. The system is designed for rapid sensor/effector integration, with paying customers lined up to shield the company’s warships and broader defense operations.
