OVERVIEW
HYPNOSIS is a long‑range, GNSS‑focused soft‑kill solution designed to counter the growing threat of low‑cost UAVs and one‑way effectors that rely on satellite‑based navigation. As strategic sites become increasingly vulnerable to swarmed, asymmetric attacks, traditional hard‑kill systems alone cannot provide a sustainable or economically viable defense. HYPNOSIS addresses this gap by disrupting or denying the navigation and timing capabilities of incoming platforms before they reach the defended area.
Developed by IAI’s NAVWAR Center of Excellence, HYPNOSIS operates as a networked soft‑kill layer within a multi‑layered air defense architecture. By complementing existing hard‑kill systems, the solution enhances battle economy through the effective allocation of defensive resources, reducing reliance on costly interceptors while preserving kinetic capabilities as a final layer of defense. Seamlessly integrated with command‑and‑control frameworks, HYPNOSIS provides scalable protection for high‑value strategic assets and critical infrastructure in today’s evolving threat environment.
