TRL 2 co-development study
SNARE-1A
Soldier-carried net effector
A company-assessed TRL 2 study for a soldier-carried net effector built for final-layer protection in a layered defense. Not validated hardware. Not fielded. Mission intent only. Open to qualified co-development. Terminal Link remains the active software product.
Operational problem
Final-layer protection when earlier layers are gone or failed.
SNARE is framed as a soldier-carried net effector for the final layer of a layered C-sUAS defense: last resort when detection, EW, kinetic, or collective protection is unavailable or has failed.
Technology readiness
Clear about what exists and what still must be proven.
Concept and application formulated
Intended operational role, initial concept, user requirements, employment logic, principal technical questions, and development boundaries for this study.
No experimental proof-of-concept, validated performance testing, or formal government evaluation is claimed.
Critical-function proof of concept
Any next effort would need to evaluate representative functions, prototype components, human factors, portability, deployment behavior, safety requirements, and a path toward an integrated prototype, only with qualified partners.

Partner ask
Co-develop around evidence and honest next gates.
Qualified partners interested in advancing a soldier-carried net effector for final-layer layered defense can start with a public-safe inquiry. Digital-layer integration is separate; evaluate Terminal Link on its own page.
