A drone swarm attacks at low altitude, exploiting terrain cover. Ground-based RF sensors register signals – but the operator remains invisible, positioned behind a ridgeline two kilometres away. No ground sensor can reach him. This scenario is no longer hypothetical. It defines the tactical reality of today’s battlefields – and the capability gap the AARTOS Hawk T1 was designed to close.
