What Is Coyote Effector?

The Coyote effector is a combat-proven, low-cost, rail-launched missile equipped with a boost rocket motor and turbine engine. It is designed for high-speed counter-unmanned aircraft systems and launched effects missions. The small, expendable kinetic and non-kinetic variants provide defense against a wide range of drone threats, including swarms. They can engage enemy drones at greater distances and altitudes than other drone systems.
