Small UAS / Drones and related general thread - NOT Swarming ones.

That seems to be the real deal. After all the weird idea and other dubious proposal, this one seems to be the one realistically addressing the problem.
Great to see LM threre.

Morfius currently offers greater range and a more powerful HPM payload than other competitors. DO note, that the Coyote Block 3 or Mordecai is a similar system and is most likely already fielded with the FS-LIDS units.

What does coyote 2 use as a sensor to hunt its targets?

Anti-Drone Radars

Coyote Block 2+s were fired from an M-ATV tactical vehicle and a special container during last year’s tests. The M-ATV included a small Ku720 radar. The drones fired from the container were guided by a more powerful KuRFS (Ku-band Radio Frequency System) radar. KuRFS is a multi-purpose radar capable of providing target data for automatic anti-aircraft cannons and lasers.

Technologically similar Ku720 and KuFRS radars provide 360 ° coverage and use AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) technology. Both radars, already established in the US Army, can intercept incoming mortar, artillery and missile ammunition.

According to Raytheon, the Coyote Block 2+ does not have “sophisticated onboard sensors” to keep prices low. Ku720 and KuFRS radars do all the work with target guidance.

The US Army and Marine Corps are already using the Coyote drone family, apparently including Coyote Block 2. More information, such as how many systems are in place and the results of their use, is not public. According to some Coyote 2, it is responsible for a recent drone downed over an Iraqi base, Ain al-Assad.

Still mildly curious, that no one really panics that just about any non-state actor with a couple of crafty engineers can do a LACM now.
Or, for the matter, how garage workshops now produce killer drones in tens of thousands. Sure, now both are now used in war...
But it doesn't take much brains to add 2 and 2 and get it to some more criminal/terrorist purposes.

Well MTCR is surely dead in the water now...
