Nimbrix
Nimbrix is a dedicated Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) missile developed by the Swedish defense company Saab. It was officially unveiled in August 2025 as Saab’s first purpose-built missile aimed specifically to neutralize small drones and drone swarms.
Key Features
Fire-and-Forget Capability
Equipped with an active seeker—primarily infrared in its first generation—Nimbrix locks onto its target autonomously upon launch. Versatile Deployment Nimbrix can operate as a standalone system—ideal for infantry squads—or integrate into broader air defense setups. It supports diverse mounting options, including tripods, vehicles, RWS platforms, and even maritime configurations.
Cost-Effective and Scalable
Designed to be affordable—both in manufacturing and deployment—its cost-per-shot is far lower than traditional short-range air defense missiles, making it suitable against low-cost drone threats.
Rapid Development and Future Upgrades
First concept design began in June 2024, with live test firings by mid-2025.Saab plans for first deliveries by end of 2026.Future versions may include radar seekers, extended range, maritime or aerial launch variants, and modular enhancements.
