Traditionally, drones tend to be countered by jamming their ability to communicate; this involves interfering with the radio signal connecting the drone to its operator. To counter this, many drones and similar vehicles are fitted with anti-jamming devices, which has led to a kind of jamming/anti-jamming arms race.
The Vehicle-Agnostic Modular Palletized ISR Rocket Equipment, or Vampire, doesn’t really bother doing any of that — it just blasts the enemy drones out of the sky with rockets. The lightweight system is incredibly mobile and designed to be fitted to a wide range of vehicles. If push comes to shove and a Ukrainian unit is short on supplies, it could bolt a Vampire to the back of a pickup truck and still effectively hunt Russian drones. Installation requires two people, two hours, some basic tools, and any vehicle with a bed. Everything, including a power supply, is included on the pallet.
A United States Department of Defense announcement says Ukraine is being supplied with the counter-drone system as part of the latest $3 billion aid package. The exact number of Vampire systems making their way to Ukraine is unknown, but in a conflict with such fine margins, anything can make a difference.
