The Counter Drone Rocket

THALES unveils the LGR275 Proxy, a 70mm laser-guided rocket specifically designed to effectively neutralize the threat posed by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), one of the most dynamic and fastest evolving challenges facing modern armed forces.

In active conflict zones, Class 1 and 2 drones have fundamentally changed the nature of warfare, exposing the limitations of traditional air defence systems. The LGR275 Proxy addresses the urgent need to restore cost-effectiveness in counter-drone operations.

Built on THALES already proven laser guided rocket to counter-drone, this new solution helps resolve the growing imbalance between interception costs and operational efficiency, a challenge that can rapidly deplete stockpiles, strain defence budgets, and undermine the sustainability of high-intensity drone warfare operations. The LGR275 Proxy is equipped with a proximity sensor and a military-grade warhead optimised for aerial targets.

Suitable for both air-to-air and surface-to-air applications, the laser-guided rocket, also demonstrates THALES Belgium’s innovative capabilities and industrial agility with a tripling of production planned between 2026 and 2028. In response to growing international demand, THALES Belgium is strengthening its industrial footprint and proximity to strategic customers, to ensure reliable, high-performance supply, in response to increasing international needs.
