Field notes
The homepage organizes the offering into an interceptor, a recoverable interceptor, a swarm-control station, and a portable launcher. It compares the claimed approximately $5,000 cost per shot with traditional surface-to-air missile costs above $100,000, while describing compatibility with third-party radar and electro-optical systems. The page supplies product specifications but no independent test results or technical documentation.
