GuideTech Wins $2.3M Contract to Power Kinetic C-UAS Interceptor with Core Flight Control Technology
GuideTech, a subsidiary of Palladyne AI, has announced the award of a $2.3 million contract with a defense prime contractor. Under the agreement, GuideTech will deploy its proprietary BRAIN flight control computer and FLEX flight control software framework to support the development, testing, and field deployment of a kinetic counter-UAS (C-UAS) interceptor system.
Contract Scope and Technology
The contract is structured as a direct product sale encompassing GuideTech's BRAIN hardware and associated software capabilities, with provisions for follow-on production orders. The BRAIN platform features a scalable architecture designed to adapt flexibly to diverse mission requirements and system integration scenarios.
The FLEX flight control software framework serves as the core software layer paired with the BRAIN hardware, delivering the flight control logic and system coordination capabilities required for interceptor missions.
Growing Demand in the Counter-Drone Market
As drone threats become increasingly sophisticated, kinetic C-UAS solutions — which physically intercept and neutralize target drones — are attracting significant attention in global defense procurement. The award of this contract signals meaningful validation of GuideTech's flight control technology in demanding military applications.
Palladyne AI stated that the contract not only affirms GuideTech's technical capabilities but also establishes a foundation for larger-scale production partnerships in the future.
