GDELS and ARMMO team up on mobile anti-drone system

ARMMO Defense Technologies and GDELS Santa Bárbara Sistemas launched and flew a Bandit-X interceptor from an ASCOD Heavy Mission Carrier during Spain's ATLAS 26 counter-drone exercise. Announced on October 27, 2026, the demonstration accompanied a cooperation agreement to integrate autonomous systems into armoured vehicles and other ground platforms. ARMMO gives Bandit-X a speed above 360 kilometres per hour, endurance of 20–25 minutes and an estimated operational range of 40–50 kilometres, depending on conditions. The tracked ASCOD platform uses the NEVA open digital architecture, while the exercise established a mobile launch integration rather than a disclosed procurement contract.
