Harmattan AI, a pioneering French startup in advanced drone technology, today announced the launch of Gobi, a revolutionary high-speed interceptor drone engineered to neutralize enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in under a minute. This innovative system offers a cost-effective and highly efficient solution to the growing threat of adversarial drones.
The Gobi drone boasts impressive specifications designed for rapid deployment and effective neutralization. Weighing less than 2 kg, it can achieve speeds of up to 250 km/h and has an operational range of 5 km. Remarkably, the Gobi is engineered to intercept and disable drones weighing up to 600 kg, showcasing its versatility against a wide range of aerial threats.
“The Gobi represents a significant leap forward in counter-UAV technology,” said a spokesperson for Harmattan AI. “Its lightweight design, rapid production capabilities, and reduced cost make it a highly efficient alternative to more expensive and complex counter-UAV systems currently on the market. We believe the Gobi will redefine how we approach aerial security.”
Harmattan AI has already secured a significant contract with the Ministry of Armed Forces of France, committing to supply 1,000 AI-enabled drones for training and exercises by the end of the year. The Gobi is currently under evaluation as a potential addition to future procurement programs, signaling its strategic importance to France’s defense capabilities.
