ARLINGTON, VA–The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile
Center (CCDC AvMC) Aviation & Missile Technology Consortium® (AMTC) has down-selected
BlueHalo as one of two vendors to move forward for the development of the Next-Generation
Counter-Uncrewed Aerial System (C-UAS) Missile (NGCM). BlueHalo is leveraging a long
corporate heritage in proven C-UAS technologies to expand its layered defense solutions with a
long-range missile–entering the kinetic interceptor market space and providing an agile and
alternate prime within the industrial base to counter the rapidly evolving threats.
“As we’ve seen in Ukraine, Jordan, Israel, and the Red Sea, drone attacks are increasing in
number, sophistication, speed, and size–representing the fastest evolving threat vector of the
modern era,” said Jonathan Moneymaker, BlueHalo Chief Executive Officer. “Adding the
increased range, reduced time-to-target, and rapid launch capabilities of our technically superior
NGCM to BlueHalo’s operational, industry-defining RF and directed energy C-UAS solutions gives
unmatched, layered protection to our warfighters, allies, and assets. We are honored to work
alongside AMTC to expand our nation’s kinetic C-UAS capabilities and continue BlueHalo’s legacy
of delivering next-generation defense technology into the hands of the warfighter.”
Last fall, BlueHalo revealed its NGCM in response to the U.S. Government request for a more
advanced C-UAS missile technology to meet the pacing threat. NGCM goes beyond current
capabilities to increase lethality and range against Group 3 UAS and other larger air threats while
–enabling a rapid delivery timeline to get the technology to the frontlines quicker and more costeffectively than alternatives.
“BlueHalo’s NGCM provides an agile, disruptive, technically superior interceptor to the munition
industrial base, delivering unmatched protection to our warfighters and transforming our
nation’s air defense systems at mission speed,” said Jimmy Jenkins, General Manager, Defense
Sector, and a former air defender in the US Army.
BlueHalo is the leading provider of innovative, effective C-UAS solutions for national defense
customers providing critical products to essential Programs of Record with the Department of

Defense. The company’s SkyView system offers autonomous radio-frequency (RF) detection and
precision tracking of small UAS. Titan, another RF-based C-UAS solution from BlueHalo, can detect, track, and force drones to safely land without disrupting nearby communications or electronics. BlueHalo’s LOCUST Directed Energy Laser Weapon System combines precision optical and laser hardware with advanced software, artificial intelligence, and processing. It has been successfully delivered and operationally deployed to identify, track, and engage a wide variety of targets with its hard-kill High Energy Laser. NGCM expands BlueHalo’s portfolio of layered C-UAS air defense technologies to deliver best-in-class solutions to warfighters.
