What Askari Defense does
Askari Defense builds low-cost, autonomous kinetic interceptor drones designed to counter small unmanned aerial threats. Its Rift Alpha interceptor is hand-launched, has a 2km range, and uses computer-vision-guided autonomy to hit drones directly rather than relying on vehicle-based or fixed-site counter-drone systems; a smaller Rift Bravo interceptor is still in development. The company says its autonomy stack is largely auto-generated from thousands of hours of real-world flight data. Askari has already booked over $2 million in procurement contracts, mostly with U.S. special operations units, according to Hypepotamus.
