The combat-proven Coyote® effector is a low-cost, rail-launched missile variant with a boost rocket motor and a turbine engine for high-speed counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) missions.
Drone Defense
Raytheon’s Coyote family of effectors pairs with the Ku-band Radio Frequency Sensor, or KuRFS, to deliver advanced detect-and-defeat capabilities against unmanned aircraft systems, from single drones to swarms. This integration provides rapid and reliable protection, forming a key component of the U.S. Army’s Low, slow, small, unmanned aircraft Integrated Defeat System (LIDS).
Coyote C-UAS kinetic and non-kinetic variants are able to defeat small to large target unmanned aircraft systems at longer ranges and higher altitudes than similar class effectors.
Coyote Block 2 (kinetic)
Coyote Block 2 is an expendable counter-unmanned aircraft system that uses a kinetic warhead to defeat drones of various sizes with precision.
Coyote Block 3NK (non-kinetic)
Coyote Block 3NK is a counter-unmanned aircraft system that can loiter and defeat drone swarms by using a non-kinetic payload that minimizes the potential for collateral damage. The system can then be recalled and redeployed for additional engagements.
The Coyote Family
Raytheon’s Coyote® family of effectors leverages a common platform to execute a range of missions, including counter-UAS and launched effects. Coyote carries both kinetic and non-kinetic payloads and can be launched from mobile and fixed-site platforms across all domains – land, air, and sea. The system is combat proven and pairs with numerous fielded sensors, effectors, and command and control systems.
