Forward Arming & Refueling Points
Organic overhead protection for fixed or mobile FARP operations.
Mongoose
Detect.
Track.
Identify.
Defeat.
Counter-UAS
Portable kinetic engagement
Man-portable, rapidly deployable counter-UAS — detection and tracking paired with a kinetic defeat mechanism, packaged in a ruggedized transit case a single operator can carry.
Why Kinetic
Kill confirmation, not guesswork
Unlike RF jamming or GPS spoofing, kinetic defeat destroys or disables the threat drone outright — giving unambiguous kill confirmation and staying effective against autonomous or pre-programmed UAS that don't depend on a live RF link.
Stand up in minutes. Displace without a fixed emplacement or crew-served vehicle. Operate with infantry or security personnel — no specialist air-defense crews or heavy logistics support required.
Specifications
Current build configuration
Built largely from COTS components rather than exquisite missile-based interceptors, Mongoose keeps unit cost and cost-per-engagement low — a critical factor when cheap, attritable threat drones make expensive interceptor exchange ratios unsustainable.
Performance

|---|---|
| Detection range | 1,000 m |
| Reaction time | 2 sec |
| Traverse / elevation | 1 sec |
| Effectors — range by munition | |
| .22 Beehive | 150 m |

System & Logistics

Detection & Tracking — Modular
| Radar | Swappable LRU |
|---|---|
| EO/IR camera | Swappable LRU |
| Fire control | Human in the loop |
Radar and EO/IR are open-interface, line-replaceable units: both can be upgraded or swapped for customer-preferred sensors without redesigning the mount, power, or fire-control chain.
Use Cases
Where Mongoose fights
Organic, man-portable protection for the units and sites that can't wait for a dedicated air-defense asset.
Tactical Command Posts
Screens command posts and dismounted headquarters elements.
Mobile Logistics
Leapfrogs with convoys and displacing supply nodes.
Rapid Deployment
Grab-and-go readiness for quick reaction forces and critical-site tasking.
