IAI's new Hypnosis system uses soft-kill methods to disrupt and deceive GPS navigation of multiple UAVs simultaneously, targeting drone swarms, according to the company's announcement.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has unveiled a new defense system named 'Hypnosis' designed to counter drone swarms. The system employs soft-kill techniques, including GPS jamming and spoofing, to simultaneously disrupt and deceive multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. According to IAI, Hypnosis addresses the growing threat of drone swarms that can overwhelm traditional air defense systems. The system is part of a broader global trend in which militaries and defense industries are accelerating development of counter-drone capabilities, though IAI did not specify a deployment timeline.
