VAMPIRE Family of Systems
Building upon the success of the baseline VAMPIRE system, L3Harris has incorporated additional sensor capabilities, precision weapons, electronic jammers and non-kinetic effectors for use across several domains. The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to more swiftly detect, engage and defeat small and elusive unmanned threats.
The expanded VAMPIRE family of systems now includes specialized variants such as:
VAMPIRE™ Stalker XR
The upgraded land vehicle system features a larger weapons cache and extended range munitions.
VAMPIRE™ Black Wake
The maritime system reduces the cost curve against small drones or fast attack watercraft and can be used aboard crewed or uncrewed vessels.
VAMPIRE™ Dead Wing
The counter-unmanned aerial system is deployed from aircraft while in flight.
VAMPIRE™ CASKET
Containerized Anti-drone System with Kinetic Effects Turret (CASKET) is a self-contained VAMPIRE-in-a-box, ready for rapid deployment to remote locations.
VAMPIRE™ BAT
Base Anti-drone Turret (BAT) variant is designed to protect military bases and critical infrastructure, using automatic weapons and non-kinetic effects to minimize collateral damages.
VAMPIRE™ Killcode
Electronic warfare variant uses jammers to disrupt or disable threats in lieu of precision guided munitions.
The Advantages of VAMPIRE
Vehicle and platform agnostic
Rapid installation and reloadable within minutes
Completely self contained
Low overall cost of ownership
The WESCAM MX™-10D RSTA sensor system provides ISR overmatch
Can be equipped with APKWS or other laser-guided munitions
The WESCAM MX™-10D RSTA electro optical/infrared (EO/IR) stabilized targeting system mounted on VAMPIRE’s telescopic mast provides ISR overmatch with fully digital, high-definition extended-range ISR and laser target designation. VAMPIRE uses the Widow® Mission Management System, which is Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAADC2) compliant, and features a modular plug-in design for quick addition of sensors, effectors, radio management, navigation and moving maps.
Modular and palletized, the VAMPIRE system offers a low-cost and effective weapon deployment solution.
