Vectus Air Defense Systems will design, integrate and operate complete layered air-defense systems under multi-year contractual agreements, encompassing system architecture, equipment, personnel, operations, management and maintenance — an end-to-end managed service designed around the specific threat environment and operating requirements of each customer.

"Over the past year, I have spent considerable time in Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America speaking with both technology suppliers and potential customers," said Erik Prince, Founder of Vectus Air Defense Systems and Non-Executive Chairman of Swarmer, "It’s clear that the threat is evolving rapidly and the demand for a private sector solution is very strong. We need to achieve a drastic reduction in the cost of defense and to enable customers to take the protection of critical assets into their own hands. This is not just a business opportunity but a societal requirement."

Swarmer will work closely with Vectus Air Defense Systems on the development of advanced counter-UAS capabilities, including drone interceptor swarming technology.

Vectus Air Defense Systems will integrate best-in-class, battle-tested technologies from the United States, Ukraine, Israel, and other allied nations, combining advanced detection and tracking with a layered counter-UAS architecture incorporating detection, electronic warfare, drone interceptors and large-caliber cannons with a high rate of fire. As threats and defensive technologies evolve, the systems deployed at customer sites are expected to evolve with them.
