The Bumblebee V1 counter-unmanned aerial system is part of a broader effort to strengthen layered defenses protecting key Department of Defense infrastructure in the homeland overseas. The Bumblebee is a low-cost, low-collateral kinetic effector.
The Bumblebee system is small drone that is being operationally assessed for dual use as a reconnaissance asset and counter-UAS platform, allowing operators to identify and intercept hostile drones using a controlled, low-collatereal approach.
The Bumblebee's improved air-to-air capability will enhance layered defenses by enabling warfighters to follow drones back to their launch point to identify the operator, or by destroying them in the air with minimal risk to people or property on the ground.
