KEY INTELLIGENCE TAKEAWAYS & SUMMARY
- Northrop Grumman introduced the 50 mm 'Raid Hunter' barrel-based air defense system against saturation attacks such as swarm UAVs and cruise missiles.
- Raid Hunter provides low-cost and high-capacity interception through the combination of its AI targeting infrastructure and proximity-fuzed smart ammunition.
- Another system introduced, the dual-feed 30 mm M230LF, allows operators to instantly switch between UAV interception ammunition and armor-piercing ammunition.
- Both systems aim to tilt the kinetic cost curve in favor of forces in the field compared to expensive air defense missiles.
