The American company Target Arm Inc. presented an innovative robotic technology at AUSA 2025 that can launch and capture drones while they are moving.
The system, called Ralar Modular Mission Payload (MMP), represents a significant advancement for drone operations in high-risk environments by allowing vehicles and aircraft to perform these tasks without stopping.
The system has been integrated into GM Defense’s Infantry Squad Vehicle – Utility (ISV-U), highlighting its application in tactical reconnaissance and strike missions near the front line. The Ralar’s robotic arm is capable of intercepting drones in flight, reducing soldier exposure and increasing the agility of operations.
The precision of the system is ensured by Trimble Inc.’s positioning technology, which synchronizes the movement of the vehicle with the drone.
The Ralar system is modular and compatible with various platforms, allowing it to be installed on land vehicles, robots or aircraft without requiring structural adjustments to the drones. According to Target Arm, the system is also prepared for future integration with autonomous systems and AI-controlled drone swarms, providing greater flexibility and security for dynamic military missions.
