Yellow Jacket

Window-mounted defensive UAS nest

Yellow Jacket is a hardened case that emplaces inside a building, extends a launch shelf through an existing window, and releases small interceptor UAS to hold a close-in defensive envelope over the structure. A containerized M-LARS variant carries a hive rack, helipad and command console on a truck bed.
