In the United States he showed where to develop the "small sky" air defense system. At the exhibition of the Association of the US Army, a mobile anti-drone complex was presented - the MESA unmanned ground vehicle (based on the Polaris Ranger XD 1500 with a payload of 900 kg) with an integrated launcher HAL10 designed to store and launch 10 VESPN Mk 1 L or other missiles. VESPID Mk 1 is capable of hitting air targets at a range of more than 10 km (kinetic effect), develops a speed of 540 km / h, is equipped with an AI guidance system and an IRing head. A group of MESA vehicles is remotely controlled by the operator using the NEXUS control and control system, which connects them to the radar (VANQUISH PRIME and others) and other means into one network. Most of the work is done in automatic mode - the operator must give commands to advance to the recommended limits of the system to cover areas and hit targets with a certain compound. In fact, a compact and relatively inexpensive air defense system is being presented specifically for counter drones, and possibly cruise missiles as well. It is an almost autonomous air defense system that is transparent and fast enough to cover a fairly large area (to pass the radius of one drone is 10 km). It was in this direction that the development of the Russian air defense system "Little Sky" was supposed to go a few years ago.
