Developments: 2. In late July 2026, Greek defence company Altus‑LSA and U.S. firm Shield AI signed a strategic agreement to integrate Altus‑LSA’s KMB Hunter interceptor drone and its M3NTOR command‑and‑control system with Shield AI’s V‑BAT unmanned aerial platform and Hivemind autonomy software. The collaboration is presented as a way to expand both companies’ presence in international defence markets and to provide the Greek armed forces and overseas customers with cost‑effective, operationally efficient drone solutions. A few days later, Altus‑LSA announced the development of two low‑cost anti‑drone systems, the KMB Hunter and the M3NTOR platform. Both employ AI‑driven detection and targeting to neutralise a variety of hostile UAVs, aiming to protect critical infrastructure and military sites. The rollout is framed as a response to the proliferation of cheap drones in the Ukraine conflict and the use of Turkish Bayraktar UAVs in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, positioning the new systems as a means to shift the aerial defence balance for Greece. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-31: Greek defense industry unveils low‑cost drone‑killer systems Greek company ALTUS LSA unveiled KMB Hunter and M3NTOR, low‑cost AI‑driven systems designed to counter cheap drones, including Turkey’s Bayraktar UAVs, protecting infrastructure and military assets. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greek-defense-industry-unveils-lowcost-dronekiller-systems ### 2026-07-28: Greek firm Altus-LSA partners with US Shield AI on drone integration Altus‑LSA and US Shield AI signed an agreement to integrate Altus‑LSA’s KMB Hunter drone with Shield AI’s V‑BAT platform, targeting the Greek military and global defence markets. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greek-firm-altus-lsa-partners-with-us-shield-ai-on-drone-integration --- Cite as: Greek-U.S. drone defense partnership.
