// COUNTER-UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS
Counter-swarm at a sustainable cost.
VISION. VaLue. Velocity.
Fielded interceptors cost many times more than the drones they chase, so the defender runs out first. sAInsible Aerospace builds MIST, a reusable transonic interceptor that takes out enemy drones at a cost per encounter no other manufacturer can beat. It launches from containerized packs at every echelon, from dismounted teams to vehicles, ships, and aircraft. It holds track through jamming, and whatever is unused comes home to fly again.
// MAGAZINE DEPTH
Interceptors run out first
A defended site carries a finite magazine, and a swarm wins by exhausting it. Reusability changes that arithmetic.
Drone volume has outpaced the systems built to stop it.
From Ukraine to the Red Sea, attritable drone swarms have inverted the economics of air defense. Attack drones are cheap to build and simple to mass. Current C-UAS systems were designed for a different threat, and every engagement spends far more than it destroys.
// INFRASTRUCTURE
Mobility travels with the force
Rails, runways, and dedicated launch vehicles anchor a system in place. MIST takes off and recovers under its own power, moving with the force it protects.
// DENIED ENVIRONMENT
The link is the first casualty
Centralized fire control depends on communications that degrade under jamming. MIST carries the decision onboard and keeps prosecuting the mission.
// ENVELOPE
Loiter through transonic pursuit
A ducted fan delivers endurance and a boost stage delivers the terminal sprint, covering slow Group 1 through high-speed threats.
// SENSING
Purpose-built tracking
A forward-facing LiDAR covers the interception cone alone, trading general-purpose mapping for pulse rate, weight, and cost.
One airframe. Vertical launch through transonic pursuit.
MIST is a reusable VTOL interceptor that operates as a coordinated swarm. Hybrid propulsion delivers efficient loiter and a transonic terminal sprint, sized to a common munition body diameter for existing handling and storage.

// RECOVERY
Recovers under its own power
MIST launches and recovers under its own power from unimproved ground or a vehicle deck. Unexpended interceptors return, refuel, and re-arm.
// PRODUCTION
Built for additive manufacture
MIST is designed for additive and CNC production, supporting distributed fabrication and rapid capacity scale-up.
// EFFECTS
Payload agnostic bay
The bay accommodates kinetic, electronic warfare, and directed effectors, so one sub-swarm carries mixed effects against a diverse threat picture.
// COMPLIANCE
NDAA-compliant supply chain
Components are selected against NDAA, Section 889, and American Security Drone Act restrictions, protecting the path from prototype through program of record.
Ready to Integrate Now
MIST is an integrated system and its subsystems sit at different stages of maturity. The decision layer and tracking sensor lead, and both can be evaluated independently ahead of the integrated airframe.
Bayesian Decision AI
The decision layer handles target identification, classification, and terminal guidance and integrates onto third-party platforms today.
Cost-efficient LiDAR
Forward-facing tracking sensor in development. Navy SBIR Phase I proposal in evaluation.
Reusable VTOL
Airframe and hybrid propulsion. Digital twin complete and validating, wing actuator proven on benchtop.
Integrated Interceptor
System maturity tracks its least mature subsystem. Prototype targeted within 9 to 12 months.
