  • We not talking about downing jet powered drones here, we talking about Quadcopters with fragile Props, and making them crash next to the target instead of into it. This thing isnt supposed to have 3km reach. The specs say 25m and i am confident that that is realistic and more would be also impossible without a runaway in optical recognition requirements and runaway in mechanical complexity. Key of this system over a Singular turret mounted machine gun is that in can engage multiple Drones from different directions at the same time hence countering a saturation attack that would normaly overwhelm existing active protection systems.






  • I assume that the vehicle has some protection already and that a small shape charge (possibly angled in the wrong direction due to drone impacting with ground) that goes off like 5m next to the vehicle should not render it out of action. It may be a different situation if the drone carries a EFP or a claymore type warhead that detonates a fair distance away from the vehicle (i have not seen those in common use against vehicle by now tho).



  • yeah there is no way this is a actual EMP, like one that creates overvoltage thru induction in circuits and hence burns out the drone circuits. this is a “smart” jammer, probably a glorified deauther and it can do nothing against fiber drones

    The form factor alone makes it clear that this isnt a EMP, if it in fact where a EMP in this formfactor it had a rage of maybe 3-4m tops.

    Hope that wasnt to credible.
