KINS screens are large-scale aerial barrier structures suspended between two commercial drone platforms. The interception principle is direct: place a physical obstacle in the path of an incoming threat. No warhead. No guidance system. No collateral fall hazard.
A KINS screen is a high-strength mesh barrier held aloft and in tension between two carrier drone platforms. The barrier is positioned ahead of an incoming aerial threat — loitering munition, cruise missile, or attack drone — and intercepts it through physical contact.
Unlike missile interceptors, KINS operates on first principles. There is no warhead to detonate, no guidance system to jam, and no propellant plume that falls back on the defended asset. The net entangles, deflects, or disables the threat. The carrier platforms recover intact.
The KINS interception structure is a suspended funicular geometry: a barrier held in tension between two drone platforms via an upper support cable and a lower edge cable. The geometry positions a stable interception face perpendicular to the projected threat vector.
The upper cable provides the primary structural load path. The lower cable maintains the barrier's interception face. The result is a large, stable interception plane that can be positioned and repositioned in three dimensions ahead of an incoming threat track.
Specific dimensions, cable specifications, and deployment geometry are available under NDA to qualified partners.
The modular panel design is central to KINS economics. When a panel contacts and intercepts a threat, it separates from the barrier assembly and is consumed. The remaining barrier panels continue to function. The carrier platforms recover to base for panel reload.
This architecture means the system can engage multiple threats per deployment, the cost per intercept is bounded to the panel replacement cost, and the carrier drone platforms accumulate reuse cycles rather than being expended with each engagement.
KINS interception screens are designed to be scalable and mission-dependent. Screen dimensions, deployment geometry, and platform configuration may be tailored to the operational environment, defended asset, threat profile, and available carrier platforms.
Representative configurations may range from localized protective screens for specific high-value assets to large-area defensive geometries for corridor denial or perimeter defense. The system scales to the mission — the mission does not scale to the system.
The KINS interception architecture is covered by provisional patent applications. The underlying IP encompasses the interception geometry, the modular panel architecture, the terminal intercept device, and the deployment system concept.
KINS Defense licenses this technology — it does not manufacture at scale. The licensing model is designed to accelerate adoption through partners with existing manufacturing capacity, supply chain, and defense program relationships.
