Almaz-Antey created multi-shot shotguns for drones - drone fighters

51
Concern VKO "Almaz-Antey" has developed and tested repeating shotguns for dronesdesigned to fight others drones. Pavel Sozinov, general designer of the concern, spoke about this in an interview with the Aerospace Frontier magazine.

To date, the best way to counter such objects, from our point of view, is to use fighter-drone aircraft using them as weapons not even mini-rockets and cannons, but ordinary multiply charged shotguns
- said Sozinov.



Almaz-Antey created multi-shot shotguns for drones - drone fighters


According to him, this method of hitting a large number of small UAVs was invented in order not to spend expensive anti-aircraft missiles to destroy relatively cheap aircraft, which are mini and micro UAVs, reports TASS.

To date, we have tried a similar technical solution for two gliders. Very good results were achieved both in the defeat of the UAV and in the stability of the vehicles, which are designed to solve this problem. I do not exclude that in the near future we will suggest the military to think about the military exploitation of our development
- explained Sozinov.

    on the defeat of UAVs, and on the stability of devices that are designed to solve this problem
    The option is certainly not bad, but you need to find it on the way and get close enough (100 meters) ...

        A fraction cloud, I suppose ...
        100 meters is the maximum by analogy with duck shooting ... for example, 2-3 grains are enough for a duck

          It sounds very doubtful, but I think that this “shotgun” is not quite simple and does not shoot completely.

                Why extinguish? If it is a quadrocopter or a helicopter, well, it will fly off several meters (even tens of meters) to the side, the main thing is that the trunk is positioned so that the UAV does not start tumbling from the recoil. If this is an aircraft-type UAV, then you really can’t shoot forward due to recoil. So they will shoot back. Fly over the target and shoot.
                Another thing is interesting. After all, in fact, the UAV is controlled by a computer, the operator only indicates where to fly, whom to shoot. And that means that WAR OF ROBOTS STARTED soldier

                  And that means that the ROBOT WAR HAS BEGUN


                  It is strange that no one would have thought of a flock of Granit rockets as "robots." And they behave much smarter than a single UAV. They exchange information, distribute goals, remember which priorities and which ones are small things. A leader is chosen if one is shot down. So is the automation of air defense and missile defense systems against the Granite. So the “war of robots" is at least three decades old.

                  Chatterbox is a program for reading aloud text files on a computer. The program Balabolka allows you to read aloud the contents of the clipboard and the text contained in DOC, RTF and HTML files, change the font and color settings, pronounce the text typed on the keyboard, check spelling. Text can be saved as a WAV or MP3 audio file. The quality of speech is determined by the voice engine selected in the program.

        So I also thought about it. Maybe all the same it should be some more complex device with automatic aiming and special ammunition such as cluster, which again, upon a signal from the ground at a certain height from the ground, exploded, creating a curtain. In Syria, the shell did a good job, now let it be “Umbrella” or “Shapoklyak”, i.e. more compact and maneuverable system? Although I'm in this ignoramus, do not scold much. feel

      Provided they are brought to mind. The concept is good, but the process of guidance and destruction must first be automated, and secondly, the flight time and reaction time of the system should be reduced to the possibility of destruction at safe distances from the line of contact. You never know what kind of filling this drone launched by terrorists will have, starting from ordinary explosives and ending with WMDs.

        If only uncontrolled drones or inflatable condoms. Mufflers are usually installed around crowded places. In general, I would have scored all frequencies, right down to the link, a couple of hours of the match would cost no calls, but in the theater in general it’s supposed to “watch a performance,” you should not poke at dialers.

    The charge of gunpowder has the same meaning. 100 meters is a good distance. It will shoot like a festive rocket. The charge will fly out and explode at a certain height, and the fraction will fly apart in a "ball" in different directions.
