00:00One of the great minds of our time, Dave Chappelle, said modern problems require modern solutions.

00:06For our Weapon of the Week, we have just that.

00:09It's called the Brawler, or the Battery Revolving Advanced Weapons Launcher Reconfigurable.

00:16And if we take a small step back, we can see exactly what that means.

00:20This unit is basically a one-stop shop to rock some drones.

00:25It has different form factors for Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System rockets, or APKWS rockets.

00:34That's basically the go-to weapon right now for countering small unmanned aerial vehicles,

00:38but doing it in a cheap, relatively cheap way, using hydro rockets with advanced sensors on them instead of multi-million dollar missiles.

00:47However, this system is very modular, so you can take off the APKWS launchers if you want.

00:53You can put on some pylons for some AIM-9 or different types of air defense missiles.

01:00You can see on the very top, it has a forward-looking infrared sensor or a FLIR device.

01:06You can put different types of antenna on this, all different sorts of sensors.

01:10Basically, if it can fit on the Brawler, the Brawler can use it.

01:15Why does something like this exist?

01:17Well, there's a lot of European partners out there and some other folks that SNC wasn't really able to talk about who.

01:24We know they exist, and we know that they need answers for dealing with all different sorts of drones and possibly some fast-moving jets.

01:32A unit like this is able to bring them that multi-form factor approach and really kind of a jack-of-all-trades.

01:40If you want to take down a drone, this can do it.

01:42If you want to take down a larger Class 5 drone, this can do it.

01:45If you want to take down a jet, this can do it.
