TASG / OTHER IP / SNARE

The other edge of the problem.

A pouch-carried net effector on the operator’s kit for small drones. Designed so each use reports to TAK automatically through the Terminal Link plugin. Earlier-stage IP.

For when earlier layers miss.

Small drones get through. When detection, jamming, and longer-range defeat are down or miss, the soldier still needs a last layer.

Layered defense: detect, jam, and longer-range defeat sit in outer layers. SNARE is the last layer, at the soldier. DETECTJAMLONGER-RANGE DEFEATSNARE ILLUSTRATIVE • CONCEPT • TRL 2

PHYSICAL LAST LAYER

A net works at the soldier, without depending on RF.

LOWER COLLATERAL RISK

Designed to reduce collateral risk compared with gunfire or explosive intercept. May preserve the drone for exploitation.

OPTIONAL REPORTING

Designed so each use can report to TAK through Terminal Link.

SNARE deploys the net directly. Separately, an optional event module reports through Terminal Link to TAK. Designed so reporting cannot block the net. SNAREEVENT MODULEOPTIONALTERMINAL LINKTAK DEPLOY PATH → NET NO FIRE CONTROL IN REPORTING ILLUSTRATIVE • CONCEPT • TRL 2
