Could you build this?
No This is a physical defense robotics company building autonomous interceptor hardware to neutralize drone swarms in military environments.
What it would actually take: Building an autonomous interceptor system requires aerospace engineering, embedded flight controllers, RF/optical seeker hardware, and real-time computer vision running on hardened edge compute. The software stack relies on RTOS, sensor fusion (radar, optical, IMU), low-latency trajectory prediction algorithms, and swarm guidance protocols, alongside defense testing facilities and ITAR-compliant operational environments.
