Public capability profile
SNARE-1A
Soldier-Worn Net Aerial Response Equipment
A compact, rapidly accessible counter-small-UAS concept intended to provide a final physical layer of protection against close-proximity aerial threats.
What TASG is building
A final response for the moments when time and distance collapse.
The concept is being shaped around a straightforward operational requirement: give an individual ground user a low-burden, non-RF-dependent response option when earlier detection, electronic warfare, kinetic defense, or collective protection measures are unavailable or have failed.
Technology readiness
Clear about what exists—and what still must be proven.
Concept and application formulated
TASG has defined the intended operational role, initial concept, user requirements, employment logic, principal technical questions, and development boundaries.
No experimental proof-of-concept, validated performance testing, or formal government evaluation is claimed.
Critical-function proof of concept
The next effort should evaluate representative functions, prototype components, human factors, portability, deployment behavior, safety requirements, and the path toward an integrated prototype.
TRL 2Concept formulated
EngineeringIntegrated prototype
TransitionTest and scale
Future growth potential
Smarter integration may follow proven hardware.
As the system matures, SNARE-1A may support partner-developed integration with tactical-awareness platforms for alerting, reporting, and networked situational awareness. These capabilities are not part of the current TRL 2 concept.
Public disclosure boundary
TASG intentionally withholds internal architecture, mechanisms, dimensions, materials, calculations, drawings, and performance projections until legal protection and qualified partner engagement are appropriate.
