Silexar

<description>Silexar offers a modular micro‑missile interceptor that autonomously detects, classifies, and neutralizes UAVs within a 500 m radius using an AI‑driven stereo‑optical sensor suite. The system launches a sub‑$1 000 solid‑fuel micro‑missile equipped with a reusable net‑capture payload, achieving a non‑lethal intercept in under three seconds, and integrates via CAN‑bus or standard power interfaces with existing command‑and‑control networks.</description

Problem

Conventional air‑defense solutions rely on high‑cost missiles or manual counter‑drone systems that cannot economically engage low‑value UAV threats. The expense per intercept often exceeds $100 k, while operator‑centric platforms suffer from fatigue and limited scalability, leaving forward operating bases and critical infrastructure vulnerable to persistent drone swarms.

Solution

Silexar delivers a modular micro‑missile interceptor that can be mounted on ground vehicles, fixed installations, or aerial platforms to autonomously detect and neutralize drones within a 500 m envelope. An AI‑driven stereo‑optical sensor suite provides ≤10 cm tracking precision and classifies targets in real time using a CNN‑Kalman pipeline. Upon detection, a solid‑fuel micro‑missile is launched and deploys a reusable net‑capture payload, achieving a non‑lethal intercept in under 3 seconds. The launcher is reusable, the missile hardware is low‑cost (sub‑$1 000 per intercept), and the system supports over‑the‑air software updates to adapt to emerging threats. Results are streamed to a secure backend for integration with existing command‑and‑control networks, enabling 24/7 autonomous protection without human intervention.

Target Audience

Primary customers are defense contractors, platform integrators, and military vehicle manufacturers seeking autonomous, low‑cost counter‑UAV capability for ground vehicles, forward operating bases, critical infrastructure sites, and aerial platforms.
