Advanced Precision Systems AS develops Fenix, a software module for military multirotor drones that enables dynamic munition deployment from moving platforms. This enhances drone maneuverability and survivability by allowing attacks without static hovering, while also supporting reusable munitions to reduce supply chain strain.

Problem
Current military multirotor drone systems are limited in their attack capabilities, often requiring static hovering for munition deployment. This static posture makes drones predictable and vulnerable to enemy countermeasures, while single-use "kamikaze" drones contribute to supply chain strain during conflict.
Solution
Advanced Precision Systems AS is developing Fenix, a software module designed for integration into military multirotor drone platforms. Fenix enables dynamic attack protocols, allowing drones to engage targets while in motion. This capability is achieved through the precise deployment of either free-fall munitions or rocket-propelled warheads. By enabling attacks from a moving platform, Fenix enhances drone maneuverability and reduces predictability, thereby increasing operational effectiveness and survivability. Furthermore, Fenix supports reusable munitions, mitigating supply chain dependencies for operational readiness.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is military organizations and defense contractors seeking to enhance the offensive capabilities and survivability of their multirotor drone fleets.
Features
- Dynamic munition deployment from a moving drone platform
- Support for both free-fall munitions and rocket-propelled warheads
- Enables faster, less predictable attack vectors compared to static hover deployments
- Facilitates drone survivability by reducing exposure time during engagement
- Compatible with reusable munition systems to enhance operational sustainment
