The US company Target Arm Inc. showcased an innovative robotic system at the AUSA 2025 exhibition, capable of launching and capturing drones in motion.
Named the Ralar Modular Mission Payload (MMP), the system represents a significant advancement for drone operations in high-risk environments, allowing vehicles and aircraft to perform these tasks without needing to stop.
The system was displayed integrated with the Infantry Squad Vehicle – Utility (ISV-U) from GM Defense, highlighting its application in tactical reconnaissance and strike missions near the front lines. The Ralar robotic arm can intercept drones mid-flight, reducing soldier exposure and enhancing operational agility.
The system’s precision is ensured by Trimble Inc.’s positioning technology, which synchronizes the movement of the vehicle with the drone.
Designed to be modular and compatible with different platforms, the Ralar can be installed on ground vehicles, robots, or aircraft without requiring structural adjustments to the drones. According to Target Arm, the equipment is also ready for future integration with autonomous systems and AI-based drone swarms, providing greater flexibility and safety in dynamic military missions.
