Axon Vision EDGE ClearSky AI drone detection system completes field trials

Israeli defense AI company Axon Vision's EDGE ClearSky system has completed operational field trials against fast-moving drone threats on armored vehicles, advancing it closer to military deployment. The system combines thermal sensing with onboard AI processing to detect aerial threats in real time and enables a closed-loop detect-to-intercept process linking detection directly to onboard weapon systems. Axon Vision will continue additional military trials in different operational environments. In January 2026, Leonardo DRS placed a $350,000 order for Axon's AI counter-drone systems.
