A grenade launcher for drones, designed to destroy enemy firing points from the air, has been patented in Russia. Its description is already available on the website of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS).
The utility model relates to the field of weaponry, namely to devices for placing and throwing ammunition from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The technical task of the proposed device is to expand the capabilities of the device for tasks related to the destruction of enemy firing points in buildings and structures. For this, a grenade launcher of an unmanned aerial vehicle is proposed, containing a magazine and a mechanism for feeding and throwing a grenade through the barrel of the grenade launcher towards the target.
The grenade launcher magazine is presented in the form of a cylindrical drum, inside which there is a disk with grenades. The grenade launcher is supposed to be aimed at the target using a drone remote control and a video camera.
Power is supplied to the electric motor on the operator's command, the motor rotates the disk through a gear, as a result, one of the eight grenades is fed into the barrel through an opening in the bottom of the drum. After that, voltage is applied to the solenoid, the ferromagnetic core acts on the grenade and sends it to the target specified by the operator.
