Scientists from Tver State Technical University (TvSTU) have patented a compact multi-barrel system for combating mini-drones. The system creates a volumetric damage zone in the air with microspheres capable of disrupting the operation of propellers and electronics of UAVs. The development is intended, among other things, to counter attacks by drone "swarms" in the harsh climatic conditions of the Arctic.
The new system is a controlled multi-barrel installation with several rocket blocks for hitting drones at different altitudes. The structure is placed on a rotating platform and equipped with a remote charge ignition system.
Before operation, the installation is assembled and connected to a remote launch system. After detecting a drone, the operator aims the system and launches the charges. A volumetric cloud with microspheres is created in the air.
Among the advantages of the TvSTU development are portability, rapid deployment and reloading, the ability to withstand drone "swarm" attacks, and operability in all weather conditions.
In addition, the system is cost-effective. It requires fewer missiles compared to analogues, and production is possible even at small enterprises using composite materials. This reduces the weight and cost of the installation, simplifies transportation, and ensures object protection at lower costs.
