Anyone who used a laser range finder knows how tricky it can be at long ranges. If a drone is 400m in the air getting the laser to designate it’s distance is a challenge all on its own.
Depends. Two options exist, 1) the more complicated one where a rangefinder for use in anti-UAV applications would use a steerable beam and simple software that would swipe the beam across a certain small conical area so that you just needed to point it more or less in the general direction, then when it found the return it would lock on. 2) The simple solution: intentionally design the laser to diffuse rapidly so that the beam is very large at 400m. Sure, this would limit the laser’s range but you wouldn’t need it to be useful past the maximum range of the weapons system it is paired with.
@@SpiraSpiraSpira Hi Michael, I wanted to thank you for the info you posted about the Nammo "anti" uas/uav programmable fuse. You explained how to lase a small uav at approximately 400 meters. Considering if you don't know exactly where it is. I appreciate your technical explanation and that you put these concepts into plain, simple easy to understand language, for those whom have not spent most of their lives studying military tech, like me! Thanks again, I look forward to reading more from you. Oh, and sorry it took 3 years before I saw this post of yours.
@TheBic4 the description in the video is maybe a bit ambiguous, but he isn't talking about laser target designation. The laser rangefinder only provides a distance. This only requires getting the laser on target for a moment. Once the distance is known, the fuse is set so that the airburst occurs at that distance. As long as the aim is approximately accurate, the airburst near the drone should be effective. Airburst fuses date back over a century, believe it or not. Leading up to the First World War, it was realized that hitting aircraft directly would be difficult (due to distance/speed) and ineffective (because most of an airframe then was empty space). Therefore, explosive rounds which would explode near the target were the best option. Of course, their fuses were mechanical or incendiary and their rangefinding technology was more primitive, but the idea was the same
For all the ignorant comments, this is shaped charge multipurpose fragmentary airbust grenade whit a lazer adjustable fuze. It is efective against, infrantry, structures, light vehicules and armored vehicules. Not limited to your neighbor drone, they are showing one of the many capabilities of the round.
Got all these experts in the comment section that literally have no clue what they’re talking about😂😂. There is another video in which this same dude demonstrates the versatility of this projectile. Its an AP, HE, Fragmenting, everything in one package.
thats the nature of high explosives, especially airburst. area weapons should not be used where collateral damage is likely. this tech is just putting the 40mm grenade launcher in a similar league to a 60mm or 80mm mortar, which also shouldnt be fired at likely civilian targets.
If you wanna destroy a drone that is moving constantly you either fire a lot of bullets like a AA and hope one hits..... Or.. you can make a little air burst missile to fit in a gun like an AR grande luncher probably heat seeking or Lazer guided. Also it could be fit in a normal grande launcher like a little SAM.
@Ζ † N why are you developing an anti drone missile system? That's my only question.. Also I do appreciate the information I obviously thought about it being just too fast. However this is kind of beneficial at really long ranges since it will reach faster and perhaps the kinetic energy of the missile would be enough to down it. Although there's more than one way to crack an egg, for example you could just have like a "special" Electronic Warfare infantrymen armed specifically against drones and basically have like 5-10 of these guys in each unity in case some of them get lobotomized by a sniper. Whom doesn't have to be a human ground based sniper, it could perfectly be an airborne sniper drone as well. However that's very expensive and futuristic.
So like a shotgun but orders of magnitude more expensive? Cuz I've shot down one of those same drones with a Remington 870 and buckshot... one shot, one kill, about 60 yards out..
It’s not intended to be used against drones, they are only demonstrating that the round is capable of effectively destroying drones. Based on the cutaway they show in the video, and his description of its function, it seems to be a multipurpose ammunition that can be used against light armored vehicles, structures/buildings, and infantry in defilade. For reference, the video shows that specific cartridge is 40mm NM264 HEDP-RF (High Explosive Dual Purpose - Radio Frequency).
this works out to hundreds of meters cowboy. i also dont believe you. the spread on buckshot , even flite controll will have gaps between the pellets larger than a drone at 60 yards
@@ravener96 ever been turkey hunting? #3 buckshot and an extra full turkey choke doesnt leave drone sized gaps... and will drop one probably out to 100yd at least before the gaps start becoming big enough to be unreliable... a drone is bigger than a turkey kill zone, and we shoot turkeys at 100+ regularly... 🤷♂️🤓
There are systems out there that automatically detects and shoots artillery shells out of the sky. So in terms of technology, humanity can totally do it if people want to
Conveniently in eyesight as well when newer drones can fly way above the range of a 40mm GL, air burst is better for people anyways but I think this is just more of a demonstration of their fragmentation dispersion than an actual feature
@@danhue1283 they would need to fly hundreds of meters up, this isnt your average underbarrel 40mm, its the high pressure stuff. shoots out to a km easy. most drones seen in ukraine is at most a hundred meters up, often less to drop grenades more accurately
Since, you know, drones stay in one spot for the laser acquisition then longer for it to get shot out of the sky this is bound to be a successful round. Ppffffffttttt.

Not laser but radio.
@@stefankolev2885 the radio gives the detonation order, the laser determines the distance
yes. Expensive. short range. HoopDeedoo!
Always a pleasure to see a mangled drone!

Short range demo overly impressed tuber boy
@@lewcrowley3710 the demo also shows them engaging a car at 759m from the launcher. looks to me like it works fine
The fragments are a guarantee for maximized collateral damage.
