L3Harris Unveils Multi-Domain VAMPIRE Variants to Counter Drones
New variants extend the U.S. defense contractor’s counter-drone platform to land, sea, air, and electronic warfare operations.
L3Harris Technologies has expanded its VAMPIRE counter-drone system to include specialized variants for land, maritime, air, and electronic warfare missions.
VAMPIRE is a self-contained counter-drone platform that delivers reconnaissance and precision strike capabilities against drones and remotely piloted aircraft. The system has been in operational use across European battlefields since 2023.
The latest expansion builds on the baseline VAMPIRE design with new sensor packages, precision weapons, electronic jammers, and non-kinetic countermeasures. It also employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance target detection and engagement speed against small and fast-moving aerial threats.
