A modified Malloy T-150 quadcopter engaged and neutralized several targets without landing or reloading during a recent test at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, New Atlas reported, citing BAE Systems.

The aircraft carried a production-ready three-pod launcher using BAE's Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, which turns standard 70-mm rockets into laser-guided missiles. The US Office of the Under Secretary for Research & Engineering tested the system.

The drone originated as a heavy-lift platform for tactical resupply. The test demonstrates multiple engagements in one flight; it does not establish the article's broader prospect of deploying interceptor swarms against large hostile formations.
