Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has revealed HawkGuard, a new defense system designed to intercept drones. The system utilizes artificial intelligence and does not employ explosives in its interception method, promising significantly low engagement costs. According to sources, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have already deployed the HawkGuard system at several locations across Israel, including the northern and southern fronts.
The HawkGuard system is characterized by its compact and modular design, allowing for integration onto armored vehicles as an addition to existing systems. It can also be deployed for the protection of fixed installations, infrastructure, and strategic assets. The low cost per interception is a key feature highlighted by IAI.
The radar system component of HawkGuard was developed by Elta, a subsidiary of IAI. Elta stated that the system benefits from decades of IAI's experience in developing radar, intelligence gathering, and air defense systems. The company emphasized that HawkGuard reflects the advantage of developing integrated defense architectures tailored to the challenges of the modern battlefield.
