The MSI-DS Terrahawk Paladin is a new air defense system that can track and destroy drones and protect critical national infrastructure. It was developed by the MSI-Defence Systems (MSI-DS).

As noted by the company, it is a self-contained solution developed for augmented mobility and deployability in close-range air defense.

The containerized system, with sensors and effectors mounted on a NATO-standard Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System (D.R.O.P.S.), can be deployed on the ground with offset remote control for operator survivability (hard-wire or Line of Sight). To re-deploy, the D.R.O.P.S. module can be rapidly mounted on a military support vehicle (or trailer-based system) with the requisite space and payload capacity.

  • Direct Fire Effectors up to 40mm
  • Wide Range of Ammunition (i.e. Programmable, Proximity, Swimmer)
  • Wide range of C-UAS Missile and laser-guided rocket pod integration.
  • Remote Controlled (hard-wire or Line of Sight)
  • Field-proven Electro Optic Sensor Suites (on or off-mount)
  • Semi-autonomous cue and slew
  • AI-enabled intelligent video tracking

Ukraine to get newest ‘drone killer’ system from UK (defence-blog.com)

Apparently this is brand new, I read that the British Army doesn't even use it yet and it was only shown off in the last year or so, from what it looks like, it's not even in full production stage so they likely won't be many of them but I guess they want to use Ukraine to test the system in a real environment. No complaints here if it works out, it's nice to see Ukraine get more modern technology.
