Anti-Drone Interceptor (DB5)
Tackling Evolving UAV Threats
As counter drone systems struggle to keep pace with advancements in drone attacks, Primetake’s counter drone solution is designed to be deployed on the move without being susceptible to electronic warfare e.g. cyber-attack. Using a traditional munitions based projectile, in conjunction with most 12-gauge 3″ chamber shotgun platforms, makes countering drones much more effective. Our counter drone solution can also be integrated into semi automatic weapons platforms to quickly counter drone swarms.
Counter Drone Technology
In modern asymmetrical warfare, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have become indispensable tools for adversaries, enabling reconnaissance, weaponization, and swarm tactics that challenge traditional defence mechanisms. To counter these evolving threats, military and law enforcement agencies across the globe are now using Primetake’s munitions based counter-drone technology. This innovation has been crucial for military and law enforcement agencies to effectively neutralise drone incursions.
Countering UAV Incursions
Drones, also known as Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) or Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), can range from children’s toys to state-of-the-art surveillance devices. The Ministry of Defence and the Military Aviation Authority regularly update laws and legislation regarding drone use, but with amateur hobbyists using UAVs alongside sophisticated criminals, perimeter defences are no longer sufficient to protect against the threat of aerial security breaches.
Counter Drone Defense Tactics
Managing drone threats relies on being able to quickly detect, disrupt, and neutralise the target, whilst ideally salvaging as much of the drone carcass as possible for forensic analysis, ideally using a web based munitions solution, such as Primetake’s Drone Interceptor. Whilst Electronic Warfare and Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) have there place, Kinetic Countermeasures can act as the most effective close combat solution, ensuring high-threat tactical scenarios can be managed effectively.
Forensic Analysis of Drones
Being able to gather intelligence on drone operators and associates is crucial for fighting crime and enhancing military counter drone strategies. Many modern drones contain on-board memory logs and will have likely gathered vital visual evidence whilst airborne. Whilst many counter drone technologies are capable of drone destruction &/or disruption, few can successfully tackle close combat drone incursions and ensure drone carcasses are preserved upon engagement. Primetake’s anti-drone cartridges comprise of a Kevlar web based munition which is specifically designed to provide rapid interception whilst preserving evidence for drone recovery.
