This US Drone Can Hunt Drones, Launch Missiles and Escort Helicopters

The Mojave STOL drone could hunt enemy drones with 70mm guided rockets, escort helicopters and launch loitering munitions while operating from rough, forward airstrips.

General Atomics is developing the Mojave STOL drone as a multi-role combat aircraft for the US Army and its allies. Designed to operate from rough, unimproved airstrips, it could hunt enemy drones using laser-guided APKWS II rockets, escort helicopters, launch Switchblade 600 loitering munitions and support artillery targeting. With two 19-rocket pods, the aircraft could carry up to 38 guided rockets, offering a new approach to forward-deployed counter-drone operations.
