This enormous drone gun can pluck UAVs right out of the sky
J.D. Simkins
The ever-increasing implementation of unmanned aerial vehicles, drones, in modern warfare has yielded an on-the-ground race to develop technologies necessary to knock them out of the sky.
One Australian developer is hoping to be a staple in that market.
Enter DroneGun Tactical by DroneShield, a remarkably large (56 inches long), yet lightweight (16 pounds), weapon that looks more akin to the offspring of an FN SCAR and an E-tool on steroids.
Running off dual rechargeable lithium batteries that can operate in excess of two hours, DroneGun deploys non-kinetic jamming technology to knock out a drone’s connection — and its flight — from more than two kilometers out, Asia Times first reported.
