The other option would be the 30/40 mm auto grenade launchers firing frag rounds,or something even simpler like the split breech hand cranked version of the 40mm grenade launcher
Flak has been doing that sort of damage to targets built a lot sturdier than a quadcopter for a long time. As always you just need to get the explosion close enough to the target.The problem is that medium sized drones (professional quadcopters and Shaheds) aren't easily damaged by flak. At least not damaged enough to knock them out of the sky.
Yes, there's always the golden BB to the control circuit boards, but general damage to props or wing surfaces is basically not going to stop one. You need a hit solid enough to break the airframe. Break the main wing spar, blow the rudders off, break the rotor support arms.
By jamming the cellphone network, which also announces an attack. And the jammer is actively emitting for your artillery to smash.
Just use rockets...Could you design an interceptor drone that flies up close behind the likes of a Shahed and fires single air-burst 30mm LR rounds one at a time?
Agreed. APKWS or CRV7-PG, and give it the heavy flechette warhead. WDU-4/A for Hydras, WDU-500X/B "General Purpose Flechette" for CRV7. 96 or 80 darts, so even if the laser goes off target the spread of flechettes will take out the Shahed.Just use rockets...
Don't the Russians have two or three different rocket calibers they use on helicopters?You can see how difficult it is for the kamov to knock this thing out just using what I`m` assuming to be a door gunner.In the end they practically have to get right on top of this thing to take it out.
I`m honestly surprised that they`re not using a dedicated attack helo,tho these might all be needed at the front.
Barring that using something like the AT-6 atgm would seem to be the better less risky choice,imho anyway.
Yeah,its a weird one isnt it?Don't the Russians have two or three different rocket calibers they use on helicopters?
*wikidive*
Ah, yeah, S-5 series, S-8 series, and S-24 series. I'd want to send an S-8 at the drone.
Another tangler/net type anti drone weapon,this time from the iranians.Here we see a tangler type munition used
This would probably be one of the simplest types of anti drone munitions to use on small off the shelf type quad copters
APKWS adds quite a bit of length to a rocket.Im wondering if you could stuff an APKWS type guidance system into a 25mm grenade/round or at least into a 40mm grenade. Plenty of 40mm grenade launchers available and a 40mm round should do a number on small drones.
After decades of research and development, the U.S. military is officially using laser weapons in combat zones overseas.
The U.S. Army recently disclosed that the service had not only deployed a pair of 20-kilowatt palletized high-energy laser (P-HEL) systems—built on Virginia-based defense contractor BlueHalo’s Locust Laser Weapon System—abroad to protect U.S. troops from hostile drones in recent months, but that those systems had proven successful against incoming threats in the Middle East in the first-ever use of laser weapons in combat.

I was thinking of the XM25 or the underbarrel grenade launchers. You're not putting a fire control system into that.Why?
It would be easier to give the 40mm a fire control system and have it automatically engage air defense threats with VT fused ammo. Ranging could be done by some sort of automatic target tracking and a laser rangefinder, or more esoteric methods of passive rangefinding, like in ATFLIR. A burst of a few VT/"PABM" rounds should shred any sort of FPV kamikaze.
