Defense startup has successful test of electromagnetic containerized drone defense system
Auriga Space, a defense startup company, successfully conducted its first in-field test of its electromagnetic containerized counter-drone defense system, called Hermes.The system, which can be powered using either a diesel generator or solar panels, is outfitted into a 10-foot shipping container. They put a Hermes system on the back of a flatbed truck and drove it from Orange County, California, to the Mojave Desert for the test. We also tested different shaped projectiles because that’s some of the beauty of our system is that we can actually accommodate different types of projectiles and also different types of effectors.
