OUR ADVANTAGE
Engineered To Out-Adapt The Threat
Ironaxe pairs field-adaptive manufacturing with mission-specific airframes and non-kinetic interception, built to answer drone threats faster and more affordably than legacy defense systems.
01 – MANUFACTURING
3D Printing & Additive
Manufacturing
Advantages
Ironaxe departs from traditional aerospace manufacturing,
which relies on rigid, capital-intensive factory production
lines that are slow to retool.
02 – Design Flexibility
Purpose-Built
Variants, Not
One-Size-Fits-All
Rather than attempting a single universal design,
Ironaxe uses a modular architecture optimized for specific threat profiles.
LOCAL & URBAN DEFENSE
A tiltwing VTOL designed for agile, hover-and-tangle operations over sensitive areas like ports, power stations, and crowded stadiums where collateral damage cannot be tolerated.
Deep-Strike Hunter
A tiltwing VTOL optimized for long-range, long-endurance cruise combined with a unique high-speed dash capability, engineered to defeat long-range attack drones across open airspace before they reach friendly territory.
Swappable Non-Kinetic Payloads
The interception mechanism can be reconfigured depending on the rules of engagement, ranging from:
03 – TECHNICAL STRENGTHS
What Sets Ironaxe
Apart In The Field
Four capabilities define how Ironaxe systems perform
once deployed: stable control through the hardest part
of tiltwing flight, non-destructive interception, and a
fundamentally lower cost per engagement.
Stable Control Through The Stall Region
Tiltwing architectures are historically among the most challenging aircraft to control because wings naturally stall at intermediate transition angles. Ironaxe’s proprietary flight-control software manages the aircraft stably throughout the stall region, allowing the drone to maneuver, climb, and descend at any wing angle like a multicopter, while achieving forward speeds exceeding 100 mph for Moirai and 230 mph for Slayer.
“Catch, Don’t Destroy” Non-Kinetic Interception
Instead of launching expensive missiles or using explosive kinetic warheads that create falling debris, Ironaxe uses non-destructive effectors.
V-LOOM
A deployment mechanism that drags a silk-string net to physically capture incoming targets, optionally equipped with a parachute to lower the neutralized drone safely to the ground.
Swarm Strips
Clouds of biodegradable, safe (edible) effectors that entangle target propellers on contact, instantly disabling the drone.
Swarm Seeds
Clouds of biodegradable, maple-seed-inspired effectors that descend in a slow, coordinated way, trailing silk lines to entangle propellers and bring drones down.
A Sustainable Cost Per Engagement
Interceptor missiles can cost from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars per strike to neutralize low-cost attack drones. Ironaxe’s reusable interceptors drastically lower the cost per engagement, providing a sustainably low-cost economic countermeasure against high-volume swarm attacks.
When All Else Fails, Go Kinetic
When non-kinetic interception is not the right option, both Moirai and Slayer can be used as direct kinetic interceptors. Moirai’s tiltwing agility and Slayer’s long-range speed enable them to engage Shahed/Geran threats before they reach defended areas. Because Ironaxe platforms are designed for low-cost deployment, even a last-resort collision can remain cost-effective against an incoming attack drone.
