The program will include delivery of the interceptors, integration with several warships and support towards a possible initial operating capability, with the program slated for completion in the second quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe threat of drones at medium range is increasing,\u201d the Dutch Ministry of Defence said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensie.nl\/actueel\/nieuws\/2026\/08\/24\/marine-verbetert-dronebescherming-vloot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">statement on Monday<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s clear from both operational analyses as well as the current threat picture during maritime operations. Sailing units therefore need additional means to effectively defend themselves in fleets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine has been using low-cost interceptor drones to defeat one-way attack UAVs, offering a potential solution for Western navies that have found themselves firing expensive missiles at relatively cheap Houthi drones in the Red Sea. The U.S. Navy has already installed launchers for Raytheon\u2019s Coyote interceptor on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new system will be an addition to existing armaments, the Dutch MoD said. The system will consist of a base station and a launch platform that can fire a drone interceptor, and the C-UAS solution will continue to be developed through testing, the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe program addresses the growing requirement for scalable naval protection against low-cost, high-volume aerial threats,\u201d Destinus said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company said an earlier version of the interceptor, the Hornet B1, is already in serial production. The system consists of an interceptor launched from a sealed canister by a rocket booster, before deploying its wings and transitioning to electric-powered cruise flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interceptor is designed to intercept one-way attack systems using electro-optical and infrared sensing and AI-based processing for the terminal phase, at a cost per engagement \u201cfar below that of traditional interceptor missiles,\u201d according to Destinus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLow-cost aerial threats have inverted the economics of naval air defense: no navy can sustainably trade multimillion-euro missiles against low-cost threats arriving at volume,\u201d Destinus CEO Mikhail Kokorich said in a statement. \u201cHornet B2 answers this with a different architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dutch Navy will contribute direct operational expertise throughout the development and evaluation process, shaping capability requirements and system specifications, Destinus said. That will reduce the need for adaptation after system development, according to the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Netherlands Navy plans to equip its fleet
