About Halo_Shield

Halo_Shield distributes sensors, command software and effectors across modular protection tiles positioned around the protected site. Each tile contributes detection, tracking, identification or defeat capacity and can be added as the defended area or expected threat density changes.

AV_Halo COMMAND fuses the distributed components and integrates national sensors, air-traffic systems and partner networks through an open architecture. The system is intended to counter individual drones, large swarms and subsonic cruise-missile threats around military units and critical infrastructure. Halo_Shield was publicly introduced in April 2026 and remains in early programme deployment.
