DESCRIPTION
Red Kite is a Security from Gibson Robotics. It is built for Reconnaissance, Security, Monitoring. Key figures: 21 kg, 20 min runtime.
Red Kite is Gibson Robotics' fixed-wing counter-drone interceptor: an autonomous uncrewed aircraft that detects a hostile drone visually, identifies its type and possible payload, tracks it, and then captures it with a 2 m net fired from up to 30 m away, a low-collateral alternative to shooting it down. It weighs 21 kg, spans 3.0 m and reaches up to 27 km one way on missions of 3 to 20 minutes, and is aimed at airports, oil rigs and refineries, power stations and other critical infrastructure.
