Rapid Interceptor Platform (R.I.P.)

A high-speed, attritable interceptor designed for rapid deployment and contested-environment operations.

The Rapid Interceptor Platform (RIP) is a modular, NDAA-compliant interceptor UAS designed for counter-UAS operations and high-speed intercept missions. With a tool-less 3D printed design, custom high-discharge battery system, and swarm-capable architecture, RIP is built for rapid deployment and mission flexibility.

The platform is currently undergoing active flight testing, with a focus on GPS-denied navigation and resilient command-and-control capabilities for contested RF environments. The current platform specifications include a 0–60 mph time of 1.13 seconds, 150–200 mph estimated top speed, 5.5:1 thrust-to-weight ratio, and an 8 lb airframe weight.
