Which CUAS system is capable of kinetic engagement and EW capabilities (BLK3) with a crew?

• A. Smart shooter
• B. Coyote
• C. FS-LIDS
• D. Drone buster

Answer: (B)

Block 3 is about a counter-UAS capability that combines a physical intercept with an electronic warfare option, operated by a human crew. The Coyote system is designed as a crewed, multi-mode CUAS platform that can perform a kinetic interception to physically neutralize a threat and also host an electronic warfare payload to jam or spoof a drone’s control link. This dual capability is what sets it apart for BLK3, offering both modes of engagement within a single system and under crewed operation. The other options tend to specialize in one approach or operate without a crew, such as a hand-held kinetic shooter, a directed-energy or fixed-site system, or a non-kinetic counter-drone solution, which don’t meet the combined kinetic plus EW, crewed requirement.
