Sweden’s Saab to Deliver Its First Anti-Drone Missile Next Year

Swedish defense manufacturer Saab AB is developing its first dedicated missile to counter the increasing threat of aerial drones, with the aim of making the first deliveries next year.

The group’s Nimbrix missile system will have a range of as much as 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) with an active seeker to track its target, as well as a warhead that can engage aerial drone swarms using an air-burst mode, according to a statement Thursday.
