THE ADVANTAGE IN SIGHT™
POSITIONING A COUNTER-UAS CAPABILITY IN THE HANDS OF EACH WARFIGHTER
Dragonslayer™ Systems develops passive, dual-use aiming technology, integrated into the Wilcox’s VIPR™, designed to give conventional weapon systems an organic counter-UAS capability without sacrificing their primary combat role.
THE THREAT
DRONE DOMINANCE HAS
RESHAPED THE BATTLEFIELD
UAS are now a persistent threat to warfighters in Multi-Domain Operations. Unfortunately, most warfighters remain vulnerable and underequipped to defend themselves.
The war in Ukraine sees between 7,000 and 9,000 drones launched each day*
Counter-UAS is a layered fight.

THE SITUATION
THE LAST 100 METERS BELONG
TO THE WARFIGHTER
Sensors detect. Electronic warfare disrupts. Interceptors engage. Dedicated systems protect critical areas. But no layer is perfect, and threats get through these layers. And when they do, the problem eventually reaches the individual warfighter.
Dragonslayer™ Systems is building for that fight.
THE SOLUTION
THE PROBLEM ISN'T JUST DEFEATING DRONEs, it’s doing it at scale
Dedicated counter-UAS systems are essential, but they cannot be placed everywhere a drone may appear. Conventional weapons already are.
Many dedicated defeat systems also impose a high cost-per-kill, relying on complex sensors, specialized effectors, and expensive interceptors to defeat threats that may cost only a fraction of the system used against them.
Our technology is designed to give warfighters a practical kinetic option against UAS using weapon systems already present across the force.
THE ADVANTAGE IN SIGHT™
THE Dragonslayer™
Multi-Domain
Reticle System™ (MDRS)
Designed to turn existing weapons into another layer of the counter-UAS fight while preserving the missions they were originally built to perform, using munitions warfighters are already carrying.
INTEGRATED WITH WILCOX VIPR™
The Rapid Integrated Precision (RIP) Reticle is integrated into the Wilcox VIPR™ fire-control system, extending its selectable reticle capability to the counter-UAS mission.
Purpose-designed aiming references support engagement of small unmanned aircraft and other challenging moving targets.
Counter-UAS Capability
The weapon remains capable of performing its traditional ground combat role. Counter-UAS does not have to mean single-purpose.
PRIMARY MISSION RETAINED
Core MDRS™ functionality resides in the sight picture and does not require external sensor data, network connectivity, or onboard computation to function.
PASSIVE
MDRS™ is designed for application across individual and crew-served weapon systems already distributed throughout the force for a fraction of the cost of other legacy systems.
SCALABLE
ANOTHER LAYER IN THE FIGHT
Dragonslayer™ is not trying to replace the rest of the counter-UAS architecture.
We are strengthening the layer closest to the warfighter.
MDRS™ can function as an independent passive aiming capability while complementing the sensors, electronic warfare systems, interceptors, command-and-control networks, and other technologies that make up layered counter-UAS defense.
WHEN PRIMARY SYSTEMS FAIL,
THE WARFIGHTER STILL REMAINS THE FINAL LAYER OF KINETIC DEFEAT.
