Assessment
A new Israeli startup, Scapion, has raised $36 million to develop a mobile drone interception system called Scapion, aiming to neutralize hundreds of drones simultaneously at a cost under $10,000 per interception. The system is positioned as a response to the growing threat of kamikaze drones, which have become a major concern in conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, and Lebanon. The company's founders include a former vice president of Rafael who oversaw the Iron Dome and David's Sling programs. The key question is whether Scapion can move from funding to a fully operational system.
