Entre los problemas que debe enfrentar Ucrania por la invasi\u00f3n de Rusia, se encuentra la creciente amenaza de sistemas a\u00e9reos aut\u00f3nomos de todo tipo, que ese pa\u00eds est\u00e1 empleando, especialmente los que disponen de capacidad letal como los UCAS y Loitering Munition (LM). Para hacer frente a ello, EUA est\u00e1 enviando 10 Sistemas M\u00f3viles de Defensa contra UAS (C-UAS). Estos sistemas que est\u00e1n a\u00fan en la etapa experimental, consisten en cohetes guiados por L\u00e1ser, capaces de neutralizar UAS de Vuelo a baja altura y baja velocidad. En especial los SHAHED-136 de origen Iran\u00ed, que Rusia est\u00e1 empleando masivamente en sus ataques sobre infraestructura y ciudades de Ucrania.<\/p>\n

The United States is sending experimental Counter-UAS laser-guided rocket systems to Ukraine in an effort to down Iranian Shahed drones that are used to devastating effect by Russian Forces.<\/p>\n

The\u00a010 mobile C-UAS laser-guided rocket systems are included in the latest $2.6 billion military aid package to Ukraine announced by the Pentagon on Wednesday. This reportedly followed a January competition held by the U.S. Army, looking to buy Shahed-136 UAVs.<\/p>\n

SAIC, which participated in the competition, is in the running to\u00a0send\u00a0ten of the weapons to Ukraine, a company representative told\u00a0Defense One<\/a>\u00a0on the sidelines of the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s Global Force Symposium last week.<\/p>\n

Russia has used Shahed-136s to attack not just Ukrainian military forces, but also enough civilian infrastructure to cause blackouts across the besieged country. Ukraine has downed many of the Iranian-made drones, which cost about $20,000 apiece, but sometimes is\u00a0forced\u00a0to use $500,000 air-defense missiles to do so.<\/p>\n

The Army and one other competitor in the test, Invariant Systems, did not confirm to Defense One the test was conducted to provide systems to Ukraine, but confirmed other details that support SAIC\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n

Contracting documents\u00a0provided\u00a0by the Army indicate that the test objective was to destroy\u00a0Class Three drones\u2014that is, aircraft that weigh more than 55 pounds. The Shahed-136\u00a0weighs\u00a0about 440 pounds.<\/p>\n

Other details in the contracting document also conform to information provided by SAIC. For instance, the documents say a winning design should be ready to ship to partner nations within\u00a030 to 90 days of a contract award\u2014roughly\u00a0the amount of time between the January test and the April news that the systems were being sent to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The contract also says the systems might be funded with Title 22\u00a0authorities, which are used to fund security assistance to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

A company representative told the outlet that the BAE\u2019s APKWS laser-guided rockets, achieved a 100% hit rate in January tests. Each of these rockets come with a price tag of $30,000.<\/p>\n

The system also includes a M240 machine-gun mount and an electronic warfare system that can take control of a commercial drone, including any DJI-brand system not operating with advanced encryption.<\/p>\n

Greg Fortier, the vice president of SAIC\u2019s Army Business Unit, told the outlet that their system acquired the drone at over six miles away and struck it at three miles, much farther than the Army\u2019s 1.2-mile requirement.<\/p>\n

Fortier said SAIC and Invariant had the best results in the test.<\/p>\n
