Quantum Systems Skyron-400 interceptor drone with rocket booster

Quantum Systems reports a first order for the Skyron-400 interceptor UAV, a redesigned version of its earlier “Jager” concept that uses a solid-fuel rocket booster plus electric propulsion. The hybrid launch/boost profile (TPK launch to altitude then 5s rocket burn, or rocket launch then electric cruise) aims to create a cheap, missile-like drone interceptor with ~50 km radius and high dash speed, indicating continued evolution of dedicated counter-UAV interceptors.
