Russia Tests 90% Effective Auto-Drone Defense Turret
14 Oct
Summary
- Automated anti-drone turret uses software for target interception.
- System achieves over 90% target destruction probability.
- Designed to protect critical infrastructure from drones.
Arkadim, a company based in Tatarstan, has commenced testing of an innovative anti-drone turret. This system is designed to automatically intercept enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using advanced software.
The turret is part of an air defense system engineered for a target destruction probability surpassing 90%. It is intended for mounting machine guns and engaging fixed-wing UAVs up to 1 kilometer away.
The system's design emphasizes early detection and selecting the most cost-effective interception method. All combat operations are automated, with human operators primarily responsible for authorizing engagement.
Further development includes a pre-guidance tower and an interceptor drone equipped with an onboard terminal guidance system for longer-range engagements.
