LOCUST

The Navy’s LOCUST (Low-cost UAV Swarming Technology) launchers are useful in overwhelming enemies in dangerous situations. These guys can jam enemy communications and also waste their resources by getting in their line of fire. How exactly do they do it?

These launchers cast a swarm of up to 30 drones in just 40 seconds and can operate autonomously. Most LOCUST’s will be ship-based but can also be used from the ground and air. The low-cost to make these launchers ($15,000 per unit) makes them expendable.

If you think that’s neat, wait until you see the AGS!
