Defense Ministry will receive drones to hunt enemy UAVs
The drone finds in the air and destroys various enemy UAVs, including miniature ones. Also, the “hunter” can fire at targets on the ground - for example, personnel, shelters or cars.
As told in the Ministry of Defense, the drone-hunter is already undergoing tests, the outcome of which will be the decision to adopt the product. His main task is the search and destruction of the enemy's UAV, primarily quadcopters. For the first time the novelty was presented at the closed part of the exposition of the Army-2017 exhibition-forum.
“Little is known about the novelty. This is a small aircraft. Unlike most UAVs, it is launched into the air not with the help of a catapult, but starts vertically. Dimensions drone- The hunter can be carried by a team of several people, as well as transported by car. Thanks to this novelty, it will be possible to quickly deploy and cover your troops from enemy drones", - says the material.
The product is armed with a rifle complex with special ammunition, which is undermined near the target and hit it with fragments.
The device can patrol and destroy targets both automatically and manually. In the first case, he is given the area or route where he is searching. Having discovered the targets, the “hunter” requests permission from the “earth” to open fire. In manual mode, the operator independently controls the device and searches for targets.
