Research abstract
GuideTech proposes the Banshee-M (BAM) Counter UAS system, which consists of a small handheld cueing device with simplified operation and a lightweight multi-rotor interceptor with integrated kinetic kill mechanism. BAM provides a highly-effective, low-cost CUAS solution that is easily carried and deployed by a single dismounted soldier. GuideTech will leverage prior experience on CUAS efforts and use the high TRL GuideTech BRAIN avionics, FLEX software framework and Banshee-LM multi-rotor platform to expedite development.
