Anyone here know any company working on anti-drone systems? I think it would be a good investment.
>>62265757Rheinmetall and some polish companies use fragmentation ammo with delayed fuses. Look into that. Electronic countermeasures are already outmoded due to fly by wire and component hardening not to mention it's really low range.Though I'd probably invest into drone manufacturers trying to make a domestic industry happen.
>>62265757Anti-drone measures in the future will involve methed up goyim sprinting naked and hot across fields to distract drones whilst the chosen travel safely. Long your local synagogue.
>>62265757>investmenta meme
>>62265757You are like 4 years late to the party.
>>62265946Fuck. I haven't heard any big news about it in these last years so I really thought no one was actually trying (or succeeding) to develop something like that. I guess that was stupid on my part.
the most effective anti-drone system is impressment
why aren't they using lasers to shoot them down, seems like a high powered laser can move fast enough to knock off a blade or two
>>62265842truth. if you aint an insider then you are fucked
>>62265998you have to know they are there. hizbollah just hit the noses with six drones at the same time last week and the aardvarks didnt know their assholes from their elbows there was so much chaos
>>62266012why not use radar to detect proximity, drones don't move very fast
>>62265757LMT GrizzlyRTX>>62265998IMI/IWI are iterating on a laser based anti-UAS. They have a prototype called Iron Beam. I know the USN is working on a ship-based laser based anti-UAS system idk how functional or deployed it is. The issue with laser based systems is the required power levels and required contact time to kill.
>>62265957>the most effective anti-drone system is impressment>if I feel all my soldiers into a sausage machine eventually the blades will dull!Yeah.
>>62266032lasers move faster than drones, this is a really simple physics problem, track the amount of power needed to melt some critical part, track how fast it needs to move, track how fast radar detects them, calculate the minimum area or volume needed to be covered, build interception points, etc it seems like this new kind of warfare is too unfamiliar for americans to adapt to
>>62265757I don't know of any startup that actually succeeded. Most companies that are somewhat successful are legacy or well-funded companies like Anduril. Pic related is trying, but the costs they list are bullshit.Not a single "startup" has successful trials. You can look into SmartShooter from [[them]], and similar. Most systems are still EW though.>>62265821Fly-by-fiber-optic*, I don't know about EW being "low range" though, frequency specific and directional, maybe.These are expensive 30mm and up shells that need very good targetting. Pantsir can't do it, for example.>>62265946This isn't true. It isn't solved.>>622659981. Expensive2. Big energy source3. Has to track target precisely for multiple seconds to burn through4. Distortion in bad weather.>>62266025mm radar is expensive, so is LIDAR
>>62266106This has been mathed out since the 80s in the context of space warfare (which is vastly more forgiving) and it's wayyyyyy harder than you think it is especially with the limitations imposed by the movement of the projector itself, the locking algorithms and the optics.Not saying it's impossible but this whole thing was already being pushed hard long before drones because if you could get it to work it'd be magic against all kinds of projectiles.Also what makes it hard is that in a way a Laser is *too* fast.Anti air guns can saturate one area, then move onto adjacent areas the object might also be occupying.A Laser leaves every point in existence it's not currently pointing at undefended the moment a micro adjustment happens.
