An American company has created an FPV drone interceptor
FPVdrones have become an integral part of modern conflicts, which was perfectly proven by our Northern Military District in Ukraine. Moving from the sphere of “civilian toys”, these Drones Today they perform not only the role of scouts, but also weapons for the destruction of enemy manpower and equipment.
Meanwhile, if there is a means to defeat it, then it is obvious that sooner or later systems will appear to combat it. The American company Anduril specializes in the latter, which came up with the Anvil-M interceptor drone (Anvil translates as “anvil”).
The essence of the development is that if it is impossible to destroy an enemy UAV with electronic warfare or anti-drone guns, a “flying anvil” will be sent to intercept it.
The small drone is housed in a two-seat launch container. Once the enemy drone is detected by the radar, Anvil-M will be sent to intercept it.
Typically, when entering the attack position, the “anvil” will be located under the target at a distance of approximately 30 meters and wait for a command from the operator. As soon as the latter arrives, the drone will ram an enemy object at a speed of about 320 km/h.
It is worth noting that in addition to the unmanned interceptor, Anduril also has its own target detection system.
According to the developer, their locators work with such accuracy that they can even see all the birds within a given perimeter. At the same time, the system accurately determines the model and location of a potentially dangerous drone.
