Pulse and kinetic weapons are included in the promising anti-drone air defense along with interceptor drones, Defense News reports on February 19.

DroneShield's handheld air defense system, such as the DroneGun model, is a small and lightweight system that can be stored in a vehicle or even a backpack.

The system is powered by replaceable batteries only, because DroneGuns are not "kinetic weapons", which can potentially increase the number of successively attacked targets indefinitely, the absence of any kind of ammunition makes it even more economical and safe to operate, especially with minimal requirements for learning.

Another Fortem DroneHunters F700 anti-drone system is a high-speed interceptor drone that, under the control of AI, aims at a target, catches a flying enemy drone with a net and brings it to the delivery area.

"Each interception with such weapons costs only a few hundred dollars, which is significantly cheaper than high-energy systems such as electromagnetic or laser weapons, which also require a powerful source of energy," said Warren Brown, vice president of marketing at Fortem. technologies.
