About SKYLORD GRIFFON

SKYLORD GRIFFON is a compact hard-kill counter-UAS interceptor controlled through XTEND’s human-guided operating environment. It was designed so an operator without conventional piloting experience could pursue and kinetically intercept a hostile small aircraft using immersive control, onboard sensing and flight assistance.

XTEND delivered dozens of GRIFFON systems to US Army Special Operations Command for operational use. The product is no longer listed in the company’s current principal platform catalogue, which now centres on newer aircraft and the XOS operating system. GRIFFON is a fielded legacy generation focused on hard-kill interception.
