In May 2025, Helix Defense unveiled STING, an innovative airburst interceptor designed to provide ground troops with a robust defense against drone swarms. This technology allows soldiers to target unmanned aerial vehicles effectively from behind cover, shifting the paradigm from reactive to proactive defense strategies. Concurrently, a recent analysis from 24/7 Wall St. utilizing data from SIPRI sheds light on the landscape of American defense contractors, illustrating a spectrum of roles from weapon manufacturers to cybersecurity firms, exemplifying the complexity of modern military needs.
STING is a programmable and scalable airburst interceptor round that gives ground units a last-mile defense against drone swarms, effectively transforming tactical defense strategy.
By allowing American troops to deploy STING as needed and from behind cover, it enables proactive responses to drone threats instead of waiting for attacks.
24/7 Wall St. used SIPRI's fact sheet on the TOP 100 ARMS-PRODUCING AND MILITARY SERVICES COMPANIES, 2023, to rank Americaâs largest defense contractors based on arms sales.
The American military's diverse needs are reflected in the variety of defense contractors, ranging from weapons developers to those focused on cybersecurity and IT.
