The Kreuger 100 interceptor is a modern counter drone system built to address one of today’s fastest growing battlefield threats, low cost unmanned aerial systems. Designed for rapid response, the system focuses on physically intercepting hostile drones before they can reach protected targets such as bases, convoys, or critical infrastructure.
Developed by Swedish defense startup Kreuger Systems, the Kreuger 100 originates from Europe’s growing focus on layered air defense and counter UAS solutions. The interceptor is designed as a lightweight, expendable drone that can be launched quickly from ground based stations. Its primary role is short range air defense against small and medium unmanned aircraft.
The system uses onboard electro optical sensors, radar cueing, and autonomous guidance to track and engage targets. Once launched, the Kreuger 100 accelerates rapidly and conducts a direct interception. The kill mechanism is believed to rely on kinetic impact or a small proximity charge, reducing reliance on electronic warfare alone.
Operational use scenarios include base defense, mobile unit protection, and integration with wider air surveillance networks. The interceptor can operate day or night and is designed to work alongside radar systems and command networks already used by NATO forces. Its compact size allows multiple interceptors to be deployed at low cost, supporting swarm defense concepts.
The Kreuger 100 Counter Drone Interceptor does not have a publicly confirmed U.S. sales price. Based on comparable counter UAS interceptors, analysts estimate a unit cost ranging from USD 50,000 to 150,000 depending on sensor package, launcher configuration, and support systems.
