Dron Kalkanı in the press

• An autonomous close-range air defence system that physically destroys mini and micro UAVs as well as FPV and kamikaze drones.
• Two 12-gauge semi-automatic Derya MAX shotguns operate simultaneously on a pan-tilt robotic turret, firing Sterling-branded 12-gauge magnum anti-drone ammunition.
• Electro-optical and acoustic sensors track the target from 600–800 metres; at 150 metres simultaneous fire creates a metal cloud roughly 2 metres across.
• Detection is fully passive and the system is also effective against fibre-optic-controlled drones that cannot be jammed.
• ITU ARC artificial intelligence classifies the target and computes the firing solution on the turret without an operator; roughly 6 seconds from detection to defeat against a fast FPV drone.
• Integrates on land and naval vehicles, fixed sites and unmanned ground vehicles; low power consumption needs no extra generator.
• A distribution network in more than 90 countries and NSPA supplier status provide a ready basis for export; the system is planned to be operational and in serial production by year end.

The system does not depend on a person or a remote control. It scans the entire sky and detects threats. It has become clear that these drones have to be shot down and destroyed.
