Delian Alliance Industries unveils kamikaze drone pair
Delian Alliance Industries has launched its "Interceptigon series", a new line of expendable, concealed, autonomous drones designed for anti-access/area denial, especially in the coastal defense domain.
The series includes two distinct autonomous platforms built for stealth and surprise, each engineered for different operational theaters.
The first is a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), designed to remain hidden within natural terrain and rapidly launch high-speed swarm attacks against land and maritime surface threats.
The second is a stealth unmanned surface vessel (USV), designed to lie concealed on the seabed, safe from satellite or air surveillance, and optimised to neutralise naval assets during critical disembarkation or transit phases. Delian said they are ideal for littoral zones, chokepoints, and port approaches where surprise and timing are critical.
"Both platforms have strong kinetic energy and explosive payloads. They can operate independently or in concert, functioning as an autonomous swarm system to overwhelm and saturate larger, more sophisticated adversaries through coordination, mass and precision," said Delian.
"The effectors are attritable, low cost and built for scale. They dramatically shift the cost-exchange ratio in the defender’s favor."
Designed to be summoned on demand, deployed quickly, and tasked with minimal input, the drones receive a basic target description and autonomously navigate to engage the threat. The architecture enables scalable deployment and saturation effects on large platforms.
"The Interceptigons’ capability is especially relevant for front-line geographies such as the Nordics, Baltics, Southeast Asia, and the Aegean, where terrain, proximity, and threat vectors demand flexible, survivable and scalable denial options," said Delian.
The system is under development and testing. Final specifications, including payload configurations and swarm logic, are being refined in conjunction with end-users, with testing and iteration continuing through 2025.
“We built the Interceptigon series to reflect the realities of asymmetric warfare, where cost-effective, autonomous systems can deliver strategic effects disproportionate to their size and price," said Delian CEO, Dimitrios Kottas.
"We are not in the business of building traditional weapons. We’re building autonomous denial systems for sovereign nations defending their territorial integrity or exclusive economic zones (EEZ) that don’t have the luxury of strategic depth or time. Interceptigon is about readiness, resilience, and sovereignty.”
