Raytheon KuRFS with Coyote Block 2
Combat-proven Ku-band radar with Coyote kinetic interceptor.
KuRFS is a 360-degree Ku-band active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar — the primary radar behind the US Army's LIDS C-UAS. Paired with the Coyote Block 2 (kinetic blast-fragmentation) and Block 3 (non-kinetic EW) interceptors, it has reportedly engaged hundreds of Shahed and Group 2/3 threats in the Middle East. The standalone KuRFS Mini can be deployed radar-only for detection roles at airports. All components are ITAR — GCC sales are FMS cases; several have been approved for Saudi Arabia and UAE.
