European defense startup Destinus is adding a counter-rocket interceptor to its portfolio with plans to have the system customer-ready in 2028.
The system is intended as a lower-cost way to intercept fast, relatively cheap rocket artillery threats and glide bombs that can be launched in large numbers, he said in unveiling the system called Vorexon. It should also be effective against cruise missiles if those can be detected by ground radars to cue the interceptor.
