The KuRFS sensor provides comprehensive 360-degree threat detection, while the Coyote effectors function as interceptors capable of neutralizing both individual drones and coordinated swarms. RTX confirmed that production of the Coyote units is accelerating to address a significant surge in global demand as drone warfare tactics continue to evolve.

Beyond current manufacturing, Raytheon is actively upgrading the system to improve performance metrics, including faster launch times, increased flight speeds, and extended operational range. These enhancements aim to maintain a technical edge against increasingly sophisticated aerial adversaries.
