Multi-barrel ammunition that allows a racing drone to be turned into an interceptor

The invention relates to Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Hard Kill solutions. The task is to defeat the most common drones with protection against jamming. The ammunition is used on a drone interceptor to combat other drones. Gun allows you to attack several times in one flight and go back. The fired propeller snares entangle the rotor of most unmanned aerial vehicles weighing up to 3 kg and some targets up to 10 kg. For simplicity, I can say that the gun knocks down all multicopters with a camera, which is almost all the drones you might encounter in urban life. The two-cassette weapon weighs 120 grams and is loaded with 32 shots. Gun with dozens of shots weighs several tens of times less than a target it hits. The low weight of the weapon allows it to be used on small and fast interceptor drone. Using a lightweight reusable interceptor is cheaper than using missiles. The interceptor has a greater range than ground cannons or lasers. Other drones with an attached rope or net has limited maneuverability. This ammunition allows a racing drone or another carier to shot down observers, coordinators, couriers, light bombers and other targets. The weapon can be used with ammunition for other tasks. Knife cassettes allow you to hit balloons. Cassettes with incendiary comets allow firefighters to carry out controlled burning of dry fields.




The ammunition is attached to the activation unit. The activation unit is attached to the weapon carrier. The ammunition controller can be connected to a remote control or flight controller. Ammunition comprises multiple charges with separate electric activation for a multiple attack possibility. The rate of fire is 1000 shots per minute. The multi-shot gun fires like a machine gun, allowing you to hunt moving targets. Individual shots form a continuous air barrage. The range of aimed shooting is 3 meters. Energy of the target's engine is used to block it, so muzzle energy can be small. The arresting rope forms an aerial barrage from the moment the shot is fired, it allows the target's propeller to become entangled at a short distance. Twisting the rope increases the likelihood of entanglement on the target. The design of the projectile reduces the likelihood of ricochet. Projectile filled with extra length of rope, it increases the likelihood of entangling the target's propeller. The ammunition is not dangerous to humans and is classified as pyrotechnics.

The weapon can be attached to your RC model to destroy drones that are watching you. You can also hunt delivery drones in your area. This is a joke, don't do it :)
Also, I developed dart cassettes for hitting air balloons and match cassettes for initiating prescribed fires.





Demonstration. Contact me to discuss location, availability and price. For demonstration, I use FPV drone. FPV races can be used to attract attention. Air combat is an old sport, but different equipment was previously used. When automatic guidance systems become more reliable, the demand for weapons for interceptor drones will increase.

This demo is shot in stereoscopic video format. To view, use a 3D glasses for your smartphone.




Order. For 300 g of gold I will make a set of equipment in three months. The set includes: 1024 shots (64 cassettes); 1 controller; 2 simulation boards; screws and dampers; voltage stabilizer. This is an offer for a potential long-term partner. In my opinion, 1000 shots is the minimum to familiarize yourself with the capabilities of the weapon and to prepare a trained drone operator.

Investment. You can invest in product development. The product is ready for use, but there is no limit to perfection. For large-scale production, special robots will need to be developed. Today my technology allows one employee to make 1,000 shots a month. If the weapon becomes popular, then production can reach a volume of 1 billion shots in 10 years (speculation by analogy with other cartridges).

License. I am ready to organize licensed production in your country. If you already have a workshop, then it will take me three months to prepare tools, train two workers and start production. Exclusive license price is 6 kg of gold (within 6 months I will transfer the equipment, start production and train employees). The price of a non-exclusive license is 3 kg of gold (electronic documentation).
