US’ drone-killing capability to get precision, accuracy with new combat-proven advanced fuzes

- US drone defense gets a hardware upgrade! L3Harris is scaling up production of Mechanical Proximity Fuzes for the Navy, turning standard rockets into precision counter-UAS weapons. This isn’t just ballistics; it’s physical-layer automation. By detonating near targets rather than requiring direct hits, these fuzes boost kill probability against agile drones. With a $98M contract driving a twentyfold capacity increase, we’re seeing rapid industrial resilience. It’s low-cost, scalable, and combat-proven—perfect for the automated skies ahead. Robots and rockets are converging to secure the digital frontier from the ground up.
