Dragonslayer Systems offers a platform‑agnostic optical targeting add‑on, the Rapid Integrated Precision (RIP) Reticle and Multi‑Domain Reticle System (MDRS), that can be mounted on rifles, shotguns and existing optics to double hit probability against small Group 1‑2 drones. The reticle is lightweight, low‑cost, immune to electromagnetic interference and emits no RF signature, enabling infantry and special‑operations forces to engage aerial threats with standard small‑arms fire and improve survivability without additional bulk or training.

Problem
Warfighters face a growing threat from small, low‑cost unmanned aerial systems (Group 1‑2 drones) that are difficult to detect and even harder to engage with conventional small‑arms optics, leaving individual soldiers vulnerable in complex combat environments.
Solution
Dragonslayer Systems provides a platform‑agnostic optical targeting add‑on—the Rapid Integrated Precision (RIP) Reticle and the broader Multi‑Domain Reticle System (MDRS)—that can be mounted on a wide range of rifles, shotguns, and existing optics. The reticle is designed to double hit probability against small drones compared with standard sights while remaining impervious to electromagnetic interference and emitting no radio‑frequency signature. By integrating a precision aiming reference calibrated for fast, close‑range aerial targets, the system enables soldiers to engage drones with organic small‑arms fire, increasing survivability and reducing reliance on heavier, dedicated counter‑UAS equipment. The solution is lightweight, low‑cost, and field‑ready, allowing rapid adoption across existing weapon platforms without extensive training or logistical changes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are military units and defense agencies seeking to equip individual infantry and special‑operations personnel with effective, low‑maintenance counter‑drone capabilities for small‑arms platforms.
