Powerus Launches Guardian-1 Interceptors to Defeat Low-Cost, One-Way Attack Drones
• Powerus recently announced a proposed merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:AGH), positioning Powerus to become publicly traded upon completion.
• Guardian-1 is designed as a cost-effective, high-speed counter-drone interceptor targeting hostile one-way attack drones, such as the Shahed-136, seen in modern conflicts.
• The Guardian-1 platform was tested during large-scale battlefield exercises at the National Training Center by U.S. servicemembers.
• The Guardian-1 platform is available to U.S. government customers and approved allies.
WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Autonomous Power Corporation, doing business as Powerus, a company co-founded by former U.S. Army Special Operations veterans that builds and scales autonomous drone systems for military and commercial use in high-risk environments, today introduced the "Guardian-1 Interceptor," a low-cost, high-speed counter-drone interceptor platform built to defeat hostile unmanned aerial threats at scale. The system recently completed flight demonstrations alongside war-game exercises at the National Training Center, validating its performance in the hands of U.S. Servicemembers.
Guardian-1 is built to deliver major cost advantages to traditional drone defenses, as it is designed for high-volume production, and rapid capacity expansion. The system's availability is designed to speed up U.S. defense responses, which have traditionally favored larger, slow-to-develop weapons systems that require extensive training and planning.
Existing interceptors have proven untenably expensive for countering low-cost, unmanned systems. The "missile math" problem, first encountered in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and now the Middle East, demonstrates that it's too costly to down a $30,000 drone with a $1 million interceptor. Powerus's focus on high adaptability led to the introduction of the Guardian platform to defeat threats posed by one-way attack drones and loitering munitions, including systems, such as the Shahed-136 and comparable long-range strike drones.
