Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Iron Drone have entered a collaboration agreement for the integration of interception capabilities into IAI's advanced anti-drone system, Drone Guard. The intercepting drone can be launched during day or night from a docking station that hosts several ready-to-use drones. Several intercepting drones can be launched simultaneously to address several targets or swarms.
To date, IAI's ELTA Systems, which develops and manufactures Drone Guard anti-drone systems, sold over 100 units that detect, identify, and disrupt the operation of malicious drones. ELTA's collaboration with Iron Drone is part of its strategy to collaborate with startups to leverage their innovative technologies for their existing systems to improve performance. ELTA is a global leader in remote sensing and RADAR systems. Its product portfolio includes mission aircraft, national cybersecurity administration, ground robotic systems, anti-drone systems, homeland defense systems, and more.
