DEFENSE
The U.S. Army recently conducted live-fire tests of the EAGLS counter-UAS system in Kuwait, featuring a four-round 70 mm rocket launcher and advanced radar capabilities, as part of a $24 million contract with MSI Defense Solutions.
This system, designed for base defense against drone threats, was tested during a Kuwait-led event that included participation from the U.S., Bahrain, and the U.K., highlighting regional security efforts. While Kuwait has not procured EAGLS, it is actively enhancing its air defense systems, including Patriot systems, to strengthen its counter-drone capabilities.
