The Bird of Prey interceptor is based on Airbus’ jet-powered Do-DT25 target drone, which can reach speeds of around 555 km/h.

In its current configuration, the drone carries up to four Mark 1 missiles, with future operational versions expected to carry as many as eight.

During the test, the drone autonomously carried out the full engagement chain—searching for the target, identifying it, and launching a missile without direct human control.
