FPF Defense manufactures interceptors for Shahed-like drones. Its flagship-interceptor Hammerhead, designed for beyond-line-of-sight ops, looks like a mini-Shahed, measures about three feet long by two feet wide and has a warhead on its nose. And it costs a lot less than a Shahed - about $15-30K. It’s also fully autonomous - once it goes, it picks up a target with an electro-optical sensor, and then goes and attacks it autonomously. Hammerhead is part of an end-to-end air defense system the company calls SmartFlak—providing “autonomous launch, sophisticated onboard autonomy, and a kinetic interceptor engineered for U.S. mass production,” per a company statement.
