Pholos™ is a lightweight coaxial UAV platform capable of fulfilling a range of roles including; ISR, strike and force protection through the deployment of novel sensors and precision strike. It can loiter for around 40minutes and can be recovered if not used. The product has been developed and manufactured entirely in the UK.
Originally conceived from direct combat experience in the most complex and challenging environments, where personnel lacked the key sensors and strike systems to quickly find and neutralise enemy personnel and vehicles in high-intensity combat. The system has been provided to Ukraine.
Pholos also has great potential for use in the naval environment - countering small craft, delivering decoys or ISR.

Loitering munition should be cheap, sturdy , easily manufactured and a disposable weapon. PHOLOS does not look cheap. It looks fragile in crosswind. It is slow thus easily targeted by groundfire.

What’s the naval potential use case?

I'm guessing mine insertion, sonar buoy deployment, chaff dispersal, helicopter decoy, signal booster for low visibility carrier landings, small item unrep, etc.

@@Retrosicotte I didn’t see exactly that,but I did see some shifty language.Check out ascent AeroSystems and Czech defence systems “PHOLOS” which they state was a “joint development”.The UK defence sector is full of chancers disguising foreign equipment.Take the jackal UAV for example,actually developed in Turkey

Whilst undoubtedly useful capability, it will be spotted on the battlefield and shot at by heavy machine gun (and soon enough more precision based anti-drone capability). However, Ukraine has demonstrated that using grenades combined with commercial drones can do the same thing, almost as well, as a fraction of the cost Would it not make more sense to focus on air deployable drone with encrypted comms and a better aimed release mechanism for slightly better weapons ?

These are much heavier payloads with greater distance so far more useful than small drones with grenades attached.

it seems like they would work best at night, and are more against armored vehicles than tanks.

@@deadbeats7604 I’m not disputing that. But the main advantage to Drones is their disposability combined with the chance that they are reusable. A better aimed “bomb” with a shaped charge warhead may still be quite a bit less expensive and therefore more numerous. The defence sector (and the MoD) has a habit of over engineering and over thinking.

@@nickbrough8335but a drone is only as accurate as the pilot… they were toying with a mortar round like this called “Merlin” that could differentiate between friend and foe tanks. And then strike them from above.

@@colingoldthorpe5918 I’m not disputing this is likely to be a very good weapon with superior attributes. It seems to me without an anti-drone system, if you can afford to send 20 cheap commercial drones at a tank for less than the cost of of of these, aren’t you likely to be loosing more equipment than you are destroying ?

Why do Ukraine have all these cool fast drones, and the UK has a slow hovering exploding salami?
@Ahmed.F22
@Ahmed.F22 8 месяцев назад
But I believe that the kamikaze drones of the Ukrainian forces, which are for civilian use and have been modified, are more effective than this design.
