19:17Now PlayingThe U.S. Army recently tested GRIZZLY, a containerized missile launcher designed to help shoot down drones. Built by Lockheed Martin, the system uses existing missiles like JAGM and packages them inside a 10-foot shipping container that can be moved rapidly by truck, aircraft, ship, rail, or potentially helicopter.
The test showed GRIZZLY detecting, tracking, and engaging a Group 3 drone — the same broad category as Shahed-style one-way attack drones that have become a major problem in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Red Sea.
In this video, we break down what GRIZZLY is, why the Army is interested in containerized air defense, how it fits into the growing counter-UAS fight, and why cheap drones are exposing a dangerous gap between guns, jammers, rockets, and expensive systems like Patriot.
GRIZZLY is not a magic fix for drones. But it may be one piece of the layered defense the Army needs as drone attacks become cheaper, more common, and harder to stop.
