White Arrow offers a lightweight, belt‑fed firearm mounting system that can be installed on small UAVs, ground robots, or fixed sites to provide kinetic counter‑UAS and precision‑engagement capabilities. The unit includes encrypted low‑latency command links and an embedded AI stack for real‑time target identification, tracking, classification, and ballistic computation, supporting both lethal 9 mm and non‑lethal payloads through modular barrel configurations.

Problem
Current kinetic payload solutions for UAVs, UGVs, and fixed installations are bulky, rely on traditional slide‑action mechanisms, and lack integrated intelligence, limiting their deployment on small platforms and reducing effectiveness against emerging threats such as swarming drones.
Solution
White Arrow delivers a compact, platform‑agnostic mounting system that incorporates a lightweight, belt‑fed firearm architecture without slide‑action components, enabling reliable operation across a range of calibers. The hardware can be mounted on any small UAV, ground robot, or stationary mount and is controllable via wired or wireless links that use encrypted, low‑latency protocols. An on‑board AI suite provides real‑time target identification, tracking, classification, and ballistic computation, allowing autonomous or operator‑in‑the‑loop engagement of both lethal (9 mm belted) and non‑lethal payloads. The system integrates with ATAK and a rugged ground‑control station, delivering a turnkey kinetic counter‑UAS capability that scales from single‑barrel to multi‑barrel configurations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense and security organizations that field UAV, UGV, or fixed‑site platforms requiring a lightweight kinetic counter‑UAS or precision‑engagement capability, including military units, defense contractors, and law‑enforcement agencies.
