WASHINGTON, D.C. Leonardo DRS is showcasing its Stryker-mounted directed energy counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) among other technologies at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2025 Annual Meeting.
The C-UAS system combines a high-energy laser with kinetic and non-kinetic defeat options to counter Group 1–3 drone threats. Built around a Stryker combat vehicle, it integrates sensors, precision rockets, and a 30 mm weapon system to provide multiple engagement methods from a single mobile platform, the company says.
The design maintains mobility and protection while increasing available “stowed kills” by eliminating power-related duty-cycle limits, according to the company.
