At the international exhibition of weapons and security technologies UMEX 2026 in Abu Dhabi, the Minsk Scientific and Technical Center "LEMZ" presented a compact interceptor drone designed to detect and neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) even in difficult conditions. The system is equipped with an optoelectronic module combining a video camera and a thermal imager, which allows effective tracking of low-contrast targets or in limited visibility.
According to the developers, the weight of the interceptor's warhead reaches 3 kg, and the total weight of the entire complex is 6 kg. The drone is capable of speeds up to 200 km/h, can travel up to 6 km and stay in the air for about 10 minutes.
The system demonstrates high efficiency against commercial UAVs: it can capture DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters at a distance of up to 200 m, Matrice 300 up to 400 m, and larger analogues, such as Matrice 600, at a distance of up to 500 m.
