  • Israeli company Axon Vision tested its ForceField drone defense system in the U.S.
  • The system uses AI and passive sensors to detect and neutralize drones.
  • ForceField is designed to counter fiber-optic-controlled drones.
  • Live-fire demonstrations were conducted for a major American contractor.
  • The technology has been previously tested by the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Axon Vision, an Israeli defense technology firm, announced the successful completion of field tests for its ForceField counter-drone system in the United States. The company stated that the system underwent live-fire demonstrations for representatives of a major American contractor. ForceField is designed to counter drones that are controlled via fiber-optic cables, a method that renders them immune to traditional electronic warfare techniques as they do not rely on radio communication for command and video signals.

The system utilizes artificial intelligence and passive sensors to detect aerial targets within a 360-degree radius around the clock. Its operational cycle involves three stages: threat detection, classification based on danger level, and automated weapon deployment for interception, with human operators retaining control at intermediate steps. Technologies integrated into ForceField have previously been tested under programs by the Israeli Ministry of Defense. The recent U.S. trials confirmed the system's capability to track and neutralize aerial targets in real-time across various scenarios, positioning it as part of a broader strategy to counter contemporary threats.
