Vector Unveils Integrated One-Way Attack Drone System

US defense company Vector has introduced the Warfighter's Stack, an integrated one-way attack drone system combining its Mace quadcopter, HV-ESAD arming device, and Hilt hand controller. Developed under the Pentagon's Drone Dominance Program, Vector ranked fourth in close-quarters combat and received a government order for 5,000 drones. The Mace supports low-light and thermal cameras, electronic warfare resistance, fiber-optic control, ATAK integration, and ArduPilot/Betaflight firmware. Vector says it can fulfill orders in the thousands but declined to share contract or timeline details.
