MBDA x Alta Ares: an unprecedented partnership for a rapid and sovereign response to the drone threat
MBDA and Alta Ares are joining forces under ELISA, a French DGA innovation partnership, to deliver a rapid, sovereign counter-drone solution against Shahed-type threats. Combining Alta Ares' combat-proven interceptors and their onboard AI guidance system Pixel Lock with MBDA's weapons systems expertise, the partnership will produce several hundred interceptors per month from early 2027 through an entirely European industrial ecosystem.
