L3Harris Expands VAMPIRE Counter-Drone System Line
L3Harris Technologies has introduced new variants of its VAMPIRE counter-unmanned system, expanding into land, maritime, air, and electronic warfare domains.
The VAMPIRE system is a self-contained platform for reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and remotely piloted aircraft, operational in European combat zones since 2023.
“VAMPIRE users have successfully shot down hundreds of enemy drones,” said Jon Rambeau, President of Integrated Mission Systems at L3Harris. “Compared to traditional missile systems, VAMPIRE greatly reduces the cost per effect to defend against drone attacks.
- Expanded VAMPIRE family responds to evolving threats and demand for affordable counter-UAS capabilities.
- VAMPIRE system reduces cost per effect compared to traditional missile systems.
