Estonian defense startup Frankenburg Technologies has developed and tested a new class of fast, solid-fueled interceptor missiles optimized for mass production to neutralize drones and loitering munitions in contested battlefields. The missiles are designed to be affordable and scalable alternatives to legacy missile systems, specifically targeting threats such as Iranian-made Shahed drones used by Russian forces in Ukraine. The company also demonstrated a turret-mounted launcher featuring two missile pods and a guidance unit, enabling a compact C-UAS solution suitable for mobile deployment. Frankenburg claims its AI guided missile systems offer up to ten times greater affordability compared to traditional air defense missiles, reflecting the growing need for rapid-response capabilities against high-volume drone threats.
