What is this?
A proof-of-concept man-portable air-defense system: a DIY launcher and interceptor built from consumer electronics and 3D-printed components, documented on GitHub as a hardware project.
A proof-of-concept man-portable air-defense system: a DIY launcher and interceptor built from consumer electronics and 3D-printed components, documented on GitHub as a hardware project.Is this a physical device or software I can run?Physical hardware, not software: the launcher and interceptor were assembled from off-the-shelf consumer electronics and 3D-printed parts. There is nothing to install or run here.

No. The videos and the Google Drive archive were taken down by others, and due to legal constraints the author can no longer distribute the files — the repo is now just a farewell note.Why were the files and videos taken down?The README only says 'due to legal constraints': the archive was removed by others, and the author states the files are no longer his to distribute. Together with his note that the work continues in professional and defense contexts, it reads as though the project moved into closed, non-public hands rather than being abandoned.

He sees the unplanned spread of cheap, decentralized weapons as one symptom of that process.
