TL;DR Summary

The US is sending anti-drone missiles to Ukraine as part of an experimental platform to help the country combat Iranian-built drones that have caused blackouts across the country. The package includes 10 mobile c-UAS laser-guided rocket systems, which were tested in January to fight off Shahed-136 suicide drones. SAIC, which participated in the competition, is in the running to send ten of the weapons to Ukraine. The aid package also includes munitions for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, anti-drone 30mm gun trucks, air-surveillance radars, and anti-aircraft ammunition.
