The Housecarl Aerospace Protection and Interception System (HAPIS) is an Velikoslav mobile all-weather air defense system developed by Wrenskold Advanced Technology Holdings and the Vushok Group. The system is designed to intercept and destroy rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 150 kilometers away in order to offer a layer of protection for population centers, key military targets, and industrial sites. From 2015-2021, Velikoslavia commissioned fifteen launchers to protect Zarinsk from potential strikes from Ostrozava. On July 5, 2015, the system successfully intercepted several projectiles fired at the Zemel Rocketry Testing Range outside of Zarinsk.
In 2022, the Central Procurement Board placed an order for ten more batteries and released a ten year procurement structure in which major cities on the borders with Ludvosiya and Qavarjeri would receive HAPIS systems, with secondary priority targets on the border with Usezoya and Nekulturnya. A special order was made for a system to protect the Dodecagon, the Velikoslav military command center, in late 2022. In mid 2023, several new developments of the system were announced, including a testbed for energy based weapons and an upgrade to the range of the system for naval deployment on large surface vessels.
