WASHINGTON: DoD’s joint office to counter small drones small drones will hold a second set of industry demos and looks likely to invite new participants.
“We’re keeping all options on the table,” Army Col. Greg Soulé, director of acquisition & resources at the Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aerial Systems Office (JCO), told reporters today.
The first demo, held April 5-9 at Yuma Proving Ground, focused on what DoD calls Low Collateral Effects Interceptors (LCEI): systems that can be used to knock out small drones in crowded airspace or urban areas without hurting civilians, civil infrastructure or friendly troops. The three contenders were tested against lightweight Group 1 UAS, according to an Army press release. ....

The term “low-collateral effects” refers to counter drone systems that can be employed with few negative consequences for non-enemy aircraft and electronic systems near the field of intercept. Those types of weapons are the first focus in implementing DoD’s strategy to defeat small drones, released in early January.  ....
