The portfolio includes the AB-U10, a net gun equipped interceptor designed for speeds of about 180 kilometers per hour, and the AB-U60 mothership platform. Airbility is also developing the AB-U2 compact kinetic interceptor and the AB-U4L fixed wing launcher deployed interceptor, designed for speeds of about 300 kilometers per hour.

The company plans to commercialize the AB-U10 by the end of 2026, followed by the AB-U2 and AB-U4L in the first half of 2027. The AB-U60 is targeted for launch in 2027.
