The U.S. Start-Up Making Low-Cost Interceptors for the Iran War

A U.S. start-up is producing low-cost interceptor missiles being deployed in the Iran war theatre to counter the high volume of drone and missile attacks. The company is addressing the critical cost-exchange ratio problem where expensive interceptors are used to defeat cheap drones. Its manufacturing model uses commercial components and streamlined production to achieve unit costs orders of magnitude lower than legacy systems. The programme represents a new model for industrial-scale low-cost defensive munitions production.
