In active conflict zones, Class 1 and 2 drones have fundamentally changed the nature of warfare, exposing the limitations of traditional air defence systems. The LGR275 Proxy is designed to address the urgent need to restore cost-effectiveness in counter-drone operations.

Built on Thales already proven laser guided rocket to counter-drone, this new solution helps resolve the imbalance between interception costs and operational efficiency, a challenge that can rapidly deplete stockpiles, strain defence budgets and undermine the sustainability of high-intensity drone warfare operations. The LGR275 Proxy is equipped with a proximity sensor and a military-grade warhead optimised for aerial targets.

In response to growing international demand, Thales Belgium is strengthening its industrial footprint and proximity to strategic customers, to ensure reliable, high-performance supply, in response to increasing international needs.
