Wearable counter‑drone tech enters frontline service across US, Ukraine and IDF units

Autonomous Guard's Wearable Kit counter-drone system, a compact RF detection and jamming device, has entered frontline service with Ukrainian troops, undergone operational testing with the US Army in Europe, and been used by IDF maneuvering forces in Gaza. The system detects hostile drones up to two kilometers away and jams them at three kilometers, providing directional alerts. Gen. Dan Caine warned US forces will be 'hunted by autonomous systems,' citing the Russia-Ukraine war.

Autonomous Guard's Wearable Kit counter-drone system has entered frontline service across multiple theaters, including deployment with Ukrainian troops, operational testing with the US Army in Europe, and use by IDF maneuvering forces in Gaza. The system is a compact RF detection and jamming device that detects hostile drones up to two kilometers away and provides jamming capability extending to three kilometers, with directional alerts allowing troops to take cover or reposition. SkyLock's RF guns provide handheld interception capability. The Sky Spotter Pro variant, used at battalion command levels, can detect drones up to five kilometers and identify drone operator locations. The system has been sold to hundreds of US Army operations in EUCOM and other combatant commands. In a keynote address, chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine warned US forces should assume they will be 'hunted by autonomous systems,' citing FPV drones with AI-enabled computer vision that continue toward targets even when GPS or control links are disrupted. Caine noted that the life expectancy of a new Russian recruit on the frontline in certain areas was as little as 20-30 minutes, illustrating the changing nature of warfare.
