"Last Change Weapon": Poland has created a new system against drones (photo)

System Zwalczania Dronów can protect the infrastructure by destroying drones at relatively close distances, according to the Polish army. The Polish company Zakłady Mechaniczne "Tarnów" together with the Warsaw Military Technological University (WAT) has developed a system of combating drones on the basis of 12. 7 mm WLKM machine gun, called System Zwalczania Dronów. This is stated on the official website of the Polish troops.

It is reported that System Zwalczania Dronów is designed to confront nano and micro-piles, as well as other small flying objects. Among its main functions are detection, intelligence, indication, support and control of drones. As noted in the department, System Zwalczania Dronów is a nearby weapon, also called the "weapon of the last chance. " Similar systems are used when the drone is already relatively close. Technology is ideal for protecting critically important infrastructure.

The system consists of a remotely controlled fire part, equipped with a multi-barrel 12. 7 mm machine gun of the Wlkm type Gatling with a speed of up to 3600 fits/min. Thanks to the optoelectronic head with a high -quality day and thermal imaging chamber and a laser rangefinder, you can accurately determine the object and the distance to it. The radar station allows you to detect UAV at a distance of up to 3. 5 kilometers.

"It is an innovation in the sense that we can see small goals at fairly long distances, we can track them, especially at night, that is, in a situation where the drone is completely invisible - but we can see it with the help of a thermal imaging chamber and, if necessary, We can fight it, "-said Kamil Vaclavik's military and technology university. It is also reported that System Zwalczania Dronów is a unmanned system.

The operator station is designated so that it can be remotely fire from a safe place. Both automatic and manual control are possible, as well as a combination of both functions. Weapons can be installed on a stationary or mobile platform. Recall that the American Corporation Honeywell has presented a new system for detecting and intercepting drones that can resist swarms of drones.
