ISC in the Press

“Smaller quadcopter drones cost between $1,500 and $5,000, according to Sawyers, the founder of Integrated Synergy Consulting, a U.K. consulting firm.” — The Wall Street Journal, 30 May 2026

ISC founder Steve Sawyers provided the article’s core cost analysis of counter-drone munitions, including the estimate that a drone can be defeated with 30mm proximity-fuzed rounds for roughly $11,250, set against Stinger missiles at about $430,000 each and Coyote interceptors at $100,000 to $125,000. He also addressed the production constraint on proximity fuzes, noting that the lines able to build them at scale are few.
