Dutch Navy to equip fleet with Destinus C-UAS interceptor drones

The Royal Netherlands Navy plans to equip its fleet with a C-UAS capability using Destinus’s Hornet B2 interceptor drones for better protection against drone attacks. The new system, consisting of a base station and launch platform, aims to meet the growing requirement for scalable naval defense against low-cost, high-volume aerial threats. This program is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2027.
