Army Indirect Fire Protection System and New Guided Missile Program

[bring_it_on]

For counter drone applications, the JCO (US Army) likes to present industry problems and challenges and allow them to present mature, and rapidly maturing solutions to those problems. Last year, they focused on some swarm defeat problems with a few OEM's showcasing some gun defeat systems including 20 and 30 mm based guns. Northrop Grumman has proposed larger gun based solutions but so far no one has gone out built one and tried competing with EW, DEW and other soft or hard kill systems against large number of very small to small drones.
