What is the coverage area and range per projectile? What is the reload and recovery time to fire a second volley?
There aren't projectiles, that was a visual of a drone launch battery.Quote:

Here is a link to the company that makes this product:

There is an electronic warfare tab that I found interesting. I doubt we will find specs on it, we ain't the target market...
Here is a press release on a contract - also interesting:

OK I get the part about microwave transition and showing the battery as a drone lunch platform make more sense. Which raises the question at what distance is the effective kill zone of the microwaves?Quote:

This is an Israeli company called d-fendsolutions who have developed some pretty high tech drone solutions for almost every sector from municipal law enforcement to airports, and HHS to full on war situations. Their website is packed with information....Except Franks question of specs...how far, how many, etc. Sorry Frank! :embarrassed:
Their military system is pretty unique in that it has a kind of radio signal that acts like radar, notifies and identifies the threat. Then it allows the operator to select the the incoming (multiples) and take control of the drone without the other operator knowing, and gives the new command pilot the ability to land the errent drones in a safe area so it can be safely disarmed/destroyed or commandeered. The coolest thing to me was it ID's the original operation and gives his coordinates so they can be apprehended or You know...dispatched.
All 3 major US departments are already using it as near as I can find out and relatively sure Ukraine is all ready using it also based on my rabbit hole dive.
Impressive Kit !!
This video is what caught my attention: 3:26 min.

Ukraine now uses a lot of fiber optic controlled UAVs so are immune to RF. This device would still be valuable around US airports.
