Latvian defence startup Origin Robotics has introduced BLAZE, an autonomous, AI-powered counter-drone system designed to detect, track, and neutralize high-speed aerial threats. The system uses advanced artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies to identify potential threats and respond effectively to emerging drone-related security challenges. BLAZE represents the company’s efforts to develop innovative solutions for modern air defence requirements.
Designed as a cost-effective alternative to conventional gun-based air defence systems and expensive missile interceptors, BLAZE aims to provide an affordable approach to countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Its autonomous capabilities are intended to improve threat detection and response while reducing dependence on traditional interception methods.
The launch of BLAZE highlights Origin Robotics’ growing focus on developing advanced counter-UAV technologies for modern military applications. As the use of drones continues to expand across defence and security operations, systems capable of identifying and responding to aerial threats are becoming increasingly important.
Through the introduction of BLAZE, Origin Robotics aims to strengthen its position in the European and NATO defence markets. The system reflects the growing demand for AI-driven counter-drone solutions that can support military forces in addressing evolving aerial security challenges.
