Novel Capability:
- A major enabling technology capability advance providing for the mass launch of almost anything of almost any shape, particularly small drones (swarms) and enables multiple firings from munition pod payloads (up to 81mm or more)
- Creates new tactical and operational opportunities for existing and novel UAV/drone/munitions technologies on the battlefield
- Creates a potency and instancy not available from single launch and single shot responses
- Creates multiplier effects for many existing technologies e.g. small drone swarms, munition pods (40- 81mm) and more
- Minimal reengineering/retrofit of existing payloads
Features of LST Launcher System:
- Simple, lightweight, modular
- Configure drone swarm or ammo pod to any size or number
- Multi shot munition pods
- Solid state, no moving parts
- Compact with a very high payload to weight ratio
- Retrofit existing systems with minimal engineering
- Plugs into existing C3 systems
Strategic Advantages of LST Enabling Technology:
- Enables a new drone swarm dynamic and disruptor on the battlefield
- Provides launch capability to support continuous, multi directional armed and decoy saturation attacks
- Provides for overwhelming mass swarms to overwhelm drone air defence systems
- Multi shot, repeat firing weapon pod capability up to 81mm
- Integrates with most existing operational capabilities
- Provides opportunities to utilise LST enabling technology for new operational capabilities
Other Milestones:
- Technology proven in very successful live firings
- Patented technology owned by LST. All key claims are novel and inventive
