L3Harris Technologies has announced new variants of its VAMPIRE counter-unmanned system, expanding into land, maritime, air, and electronic warfare domains.
The VAMPIRE system is a self-contained platform for reconnaissance and precision strike against drones and remotely piloted aircraft, operational in European combat zones since 2023.
“VAMPIRE users have successfully shot down hundreds of enemy drones,” said Jon Rambeau, President of Integrated Mission Systems at L3Harris. “Compared to traditional missile systems, VAMPIRE greatly reduces the cost per effect to defend against drone attacks.
The expanded VAMPIRE family demonstrates the company's ability to respond rapidly to evolving threats and growing demand for affordable counter-UAS capabilities.
