US Marines tested British "airbase" SkyWall100

The British company OpenWorks Engineering has developed a pneumatic "bazooka", designed to combat small civilian unmanned aerial vehicles, which have recently been increasingly used to carry out terrorist acts. As transmits "Warspot" With reference to the press service of the company, testing of the new “pneumobazka” took place as part of the NATO exercises NNTEX-18C.

According to the press service of OpenWorks Engineering, the US Marine Corps exercises, during which a new device was used to combat drones SkyWall100, took place at the end of last year at the Quantico base of the US Marine Corps. During the exercise, the Marines tested various systems to combat small commercial drones.

According to the developers, SkyWall100 weighs 10 kg, and is capable of intercepting UAVs at heights up to 100 meters. The device is equipped with a "smart sight" Laser-Equipped Smartscope, which automatically calculates all the data and programs the projectile. Operator actions are minimized: aim the bazooka at the target and press the trigger. Night mode of the sight allows shooting at night. Compressed air from a cylinder is used for the shot. Different types of projectiles are developed for the device: training, with a net, with a net and a parachute , with an electromagnetic pulse.

The company said that they are developing three types of new device: SkyWall 100 - a model for shooting from the shoulder; SkyWall 200 - the easel version of SkyWall 100; SkyWall 300 - stationary automatic installation.

Here you have a direct one, and, all the more, a simpler and cheaper competitor to the Chinese military anti-drone laser!

"SkyWall100 weighs 10 kg, and is capable of intercepting UAVs at an altitude of 100 meters." Poor and unhappy Marines. It's such a burden. What if the drone flies at 110 meters? They will overstrain, poor.

EW rifle is the most effective. A powerful EW pulse of electromagnetic interference amplified by repeated twisting in the grooves of the chrome channel of the rifle barrel carries everything in its path. And the rotation of the pulse provides accuracy and range.

For a stationary target, you can also gasp with a shotgun, where the tests in motion

[KCA]

By moving with a shotgun, you can also still gasp, at a snipe, for example, mobility is inaccessible to any drones, but they hunt, but at 100 meters the shot showers with rustling and all damage from it

[marshes]

But the Beneli M-4 is not destiny to use, adopted by the KMP, because this air bazooka hits 100 meters. Indeed, the KMP has quite a few immigrants from the south, rednecks for whom duck hunting is a way of life.

[Yarhann]

yes, I immediately thought of a conventional shotgun for duck hunting with a shot - the best tool.
I think I just need to refine the shot to cut the blades and plastic.
but in general the best option - but not cheap. this is the same large-caliber shotgun, with a laser rangefinder and with remote blasting of a bullet. Something like used in the army on anti-aircraft systems. Thanks to the integral bullet, it will be able to fly precisely and far - and the remote blasting system will open the bullet right in front of the drone - as a result, it will splinters, while having the ability to set the distance of the explosion, such weapons can be used everywhere - people and everything else will not be affected.
It’s possible to do this on the basis of an RPG-7 type hand grenade launcher - it’s only easier to make a grenade. There are a lot of options - but don’t worry, remote detonation drives.

[donavi49]

And then, in which thread of Fiumicino / Kansai - from Beneli to shoot. In addition to drones, watermelons and Boeing still have to pay, and even deliver the peace stuff to hospitals / morgues.

The feature of this gun is to catch a drone with a net / hit it with EMR and turn it off. In this case, no damaging elements and accidental casualties.

Pneumatics is certainly an interesting thing. But in battle, this is a meaningless bandura, and sniper rifles are more practical for defending objects from single, small, low-flying UAVs. I think that testing will end.

SkyWall 300 - stationary automatic installation.

But this is more interesting for object protection, if you teach this installation to distinguish drones from birds, otherwise the khan to all pigeons (in ammunition size)

Believe me, there are other and non-urban areas where there is a high percentage of living creatures with all sorts of diseases. If you are a hunter, then consult a local community of hunters and fishers on this subject first. As a rule, they possess similar information.

yes brother, balls are a great thing, but pebbles also come off and cast-iron ... you break a pipe with a hammer into pieces, and so full pockets ... in one stones. in another cast-iron. in the third balls ... they were hard to get in the village , so I saved them. and so cast irons and stones ... my uncle had a quarry there. red granite and basalt were mined, and there was always a lot of pellets ... there he collected stones for himself. Once in a lifetime, he killed a pheasant and accidentally. aimed at a jay, and a ball flew off from an oak somewhere .. and then such a pheasant fluttered with wings so fluttering ... I was so joyful. told the whole village. boasted everywhere. my father came and laid me a knife, He said not only did you hunt without permission, and even talk a lot with your tongue. but the pheasant was just a miracle ... such a yummy. I took it there and tried it last time. no more luck. Well, for now ... but if the Lord grants it. maybe once again wherever I meet. and let BG at least have a slingshot with you.

[Klingon]

ours kind of demonstrated a gun that lands drones, something like a mini-electronic warfare

[KVU-NSVD]

Yes, now everyone has such guns as uncut dogs, but they do not work against everyone to the right degree. Sometimes you need to get a drone whole, but here the mesh with a parachute is it. But such a portable bandura is a very inconvenient and expensive overkill. But "there" they have their own cockroaches in the head. Although, I repeat, there is some sense in a stationary automated model at especially important facilities.

[APASUS]

Three types, immeasurably "dough will be cut down" for easy, not only from the military and special services, but also from individuals and companies ...
Why haven't we developed? The answer lies on the surface: it was not necessary to close the radio and aircraft modeling circles .... at the palaces and houses of pioneers ...

[Klingon]

similar to the Avril rocket launcher from Unreal Tournament 2004

100 m is very small. If the drone has hostile intentions, then he will have time to carry out both reconnaissance and attack.

I agree, especially for airports. For some reason, all developers rely on catching UAVs of the DJI Phantom 4 type. But they can fly unmanned systems like airplanes, crawl, ride, jump.

[serge siberian]

Indeed, a simple shotgun is simpler and more angry. Yes, there is less money and cheaper in the service staff.

[voyaka uh]

At a military base, you can start shooting with firearms. But you can’t do it at a civilian airport. A panic will begin, a madhouse.
There, unknown drones must be planted quietly so that no one would notice this operation by the security services. Drones are used with a "jammer" that works only at a short distance (not paralyzing the airport). And also a very close action shooter. No noise and debris.

[Corn]

Absolutely vrno, is there just an ILC here? Isn't private contractors engaged in guarding bases and airfields?

[Corn]

A purely police-civilian option, in the Donbas and in Syria, smooth-bore hunting rifles perfectly cope with the same task.

[Yarhann]

that’s why there is a need to reinvent the wheel. as for me, for safety of use in crowded places, you need a shell with a remote (programmable detonation) well, on the trunk, a rangefinder, etc. And what kind of barrel it will be is a matter of taste and size of the projectile, either the same shotgun, or recoilless type of RPG type.

[voyaka uh]

"well, on the barrel, the rangefinder, etc." ////
----
The rangefinder is just $ 15,000. The Americans had such a grenade launcher: they tested in Afghanistan, the soldiers were delighted.
But the price exceeded 25,000. And they refused ...

[Yarhann]

and that so few 15000 which is not 200k) to voice the price from the ceiling. Rangefinders for hunting is full of plenty for such purposes and 1000 green is enough. Ammunition will do the rest.

Alex, most likely not a rangefinder, but a ballistic computer. This is a little different.

Yes there is and ammunition is sold cheaply for 18-19 US dollars, but the point is that they work at a very short distance, clearly less than 100 meters.
