- Growing global demand for counter-drone technology positions Esh-Tech's lower-cost solution as a potential disruptor in the defense market.
Israeli startup Esh-Tech has unveiled a new laser-based counter-drone defense system, with CEO Erex Riahi stating that the technology will fundamentally transform how drone threats are countered on the battlefield.
A Game-Changer for Counter-Drone Operations
"This is a game-changer. It's smaller, requires only 4 kWh of power, can be connected to a vehicle, and is three to four times cheaper than existing laser or microwave systems," said Esh-Tech CEO Erex Riahi.
Key features of the system include:
- Low power consumption: Operates on just 4 kWh, significantly reducing logistical burden
- High mobility: Designed to be mounted directly on vehicles for deployment alongside mobile units
- Cost efficiency: Priced at three to four times less than current laser or microwave counter-drone systems
- High performance: Claimed capability to neutralize target drones within seconds
Growing Demand in the Counter-Drone Market
As drones see expanded use across both military and civilian domains, demand for counter-drone systems has been rising sharply around the world. Israel, backed by its advanced defense technology sector, has long held a leading position in this space.
If Esh-Tech's system delivers on its promises — offering lower cost and greater efficiency against drone threats — it could significantly disrupt the existing counter-drone market and provide armed forces and security agencies with a more economically viable defense option.
Detailed technical specifications and a production timeline for the system have not yet been fully disclosed. Industry observers will be watching closely for further updates from Esh-Tech.
