The Raytheon Coyote drone has already scored over 170 confirmed kills against enemy drones. It’s cheap, modular, and already deployed across the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Now it is evolving to include ground strike on top of the counter‑UAS foundation. In this episode, we break down what the Coyote drone actually is, what the different variants do and how they work, why the Army just committed over $5 billion to it, and how it stacks up against high‑end competitors like Anduril’s Roadrunner‑M.
