Perseus Defense
Attritable 15" missiles designed for modern drone swarm warfare
Perseus Defense develops affordable, guided micro-missile systems for countering unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for the U.S. Department of Defense and Homeland Security. Their portable missile battery pods hold 15 micro-missiles priced under $10,000 each and can be deployed from UAVs, ground vehicles, and boats. The company is focused on enabling mass production of scalable counter-UAS capabilities to address the growing threat of low-cost drone warfare.
Perseus Defense manufactures guided micro-missile pods that can be mounted on various platforms (UAVs, ground vehicles, boats) to intercept and destroy Group 1/2 drones at ranges over 1,000 meters for under $10,000 per missile.
