I think it is obvious that the Coast Guard needs a reliable counter-drone defense. We are seeking one.
APKWS 2.75 Guided Rocket, seems to be very versatile while not costing near as much as a dedicated air to air missile. They fit on patrol boats and helicopters.
There are other systems, Anduril’s Roadrunner, RTX’s Coyote. and the Lockheed Martin Hellfire, but don’t underestimate the APKWS.
That is the ticket. There are more than one 2.75″ (70mm) smart rocket.
